A while back we posted the first Prince of Persia developer diary. Today we got the second. This new one focuses on one of the bosses you will fight as well as Ahriman's corruption that's spread across the world. Prince of Persia will hit Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on December 2nd.
It's actually kind of interesting to see the direction the developers are taking with Shaun White's Snowboarding. In this video they talk about how they are breaking down the barrier between multiplayer and single player by having the entire mountain be your lobby. If you are in the single player mode anyone can seamlessly join you for a fun day of conquering double blacks and broken legs.
We can look forward to the game just in time for the ski season later this year for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC.
Today we get to take another look at Tom Clancy's Endwar and if you're in the market for a new Odama style voice command strategy game - you might want to keep your eye on this one. The first video covers command points and explains how the more you acquire, the more mission command can offer you support in case you get yourself in a bind. The second video has explosions, tons of explosions! In the event that all else fails, defcon 1 is triggered and you can nuke your enemy back to the stone age. You can pick it up November 4th on PS3, PSP, Xbox 360 and DS. Second video after the jump.
Yesterday, Wall Street crashed. Took a lot of gaming industry money with it. Today, though, the market's rebounded, and whaddya know, that rebound took a lot of gaming industry money with it! Blactivision lost $2.26 (per share) yesterday, but clawed back $1.31 today. EA lost $3.63 yesterday, but at the sounding of the bell today, had won back $0.99. The gains weren't restricted to Wall Street, either; Ubisoft shares were up €7.25 having dropped €12.47 yesterday. Such chaos. Such unpredictability. Lucky we can't understand choose not to play the stock market!

Or, at least, shoot her in the throat. As for the other screens, they're a selection of real, in-game shots, so what you see here will be what you see when the game comes out. And what we see here - lazy sunsets as we drift lazily down a river - looks gorgeous. There's a few screens below, with plenty more at the link underneath.
How the hell did I completely miss a giant robot game coming to Xbox Live Arcade? War World, developed by Third Wave Games and published by Ubisoft, is a third-person action shooter featuring 16 different powerful mechs with a variety of different special abilities. You can play offline in the 100-level arcade mode or death matches against bots, or go online for 8-player multiplayer Capture the Flag, Bomb Assault, Death Match and Team Death Match.
Giant robot combat with online multiplayer for a measly 800 Microsoft points? I might not know much about the title, but it's going to have to suck pretty hard to not be completely worth the price.

British cops seized a Renault truck filled with 16,000 stolen copies of Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway. Cops spotted the truck in Leeds after noticing its fake plates. The truck was impounded by authorities, and then stolen again hours later — along with the games. According to a police spokesperson:
We are pursuing a number of lines of enquiry, including eBay transactions where a number of the games have been potentially identified as being advertised for sale. Arrests have already been made in respect of this.
The take's value? £600,000. "Fans needn't worry as more stock is being parachuted in," stated Ubisoft. They, though, should worry about finding the loot.

I myself am a LOST and Battlestar Galactica kinda guy, but everyone keeps telling that Heroes is a pretty decent show. To celebrate the premiere of the third season, Ubisoft came up with this great parody involving one of their very own cuddly bunnies with never-ending ambitions of world conquest.
Rayman Raving Rabbids TV Party will be hitting the Wii and Nintendo DS on November 21st.
Good news, cat ninja lovers: Tenchu 4 is getting a Western release. Previously confirmed only for a Japanese release, developers Acquire have signed a deal with Ubisoft that'll see the game distributed throughout North America and Europe. No word on a release date, but the game will be playable at TGS, so we'll check it out then, see if the cat handling's up to scratch.
Only Ubisoft - You can't stop progress.
