Everyone loved Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Which is why the new Prince of Persia – out next week – is ostensibly a sequel to everyone’s favourite Prince of Persia game. And it’s really good. Wanna win it?
UPDATE: This draw is now closed.
Thanks to Ubisoft we have EIGHT copies of Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands to give away this week. That’s four copies on PlayStation 3 and four on Xbox 360.
We also have EIGHT Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands official Prima guides as well, pictured. So you win the game and the guide. If you win, that is.
We’re giving away one game and guide today and every day for the next five days.
How do you enter?
Easy. It’s haiku time once more. All you have to do is write a Prince of Persia themed haiku in the comments below. Remember: a haiku has three lines consisting of five, seven and five syllables.
Entries for today’s draw will close at midnight tonight. No multiple entries please – but you may enter tomorrow’s draw using a new haiku. Make sure you leave a valid email or comment via Facebook Connect.
And yesterday’s 360 winner is:
Stevorooni!
The Prince made his way through some traps The tower was dangerous without maps If the Sultan came home soon He’d fall into a pit of doom The architect should be fired with slaps
Prince Prince Prince Prince Prince
Prince Prince Prince Prince Prince Prince Prince
Prince Prince of Persia
Winner. 🙂
I can’t stop laughing when I read this 🙂
Dodge, run, leap, miss, fall
Rewind, dodge, run, leap, land, roll
Time is now my bitch
Royal is the Prince
Fight and dodge, death at each turn
I would send servants
Huzzah! Thanks!
magical sword fights
explore mystical kingdoms
time to save the day
Thanks for the shout-out the other day Dave, pity there’s no runner’s-up prizes 🙂
Okay, here’s my second attempt at it:
The Prince held a dagger in his hand,
That could control time with some weird kind of sand
He kissed the Princess,
But she slapped him for that B-S,
So he rewound and instead had a one-night stand
Doh, that’ll teach me for not reading the post first. Gotta be a haiku this time. Okay, ignore the above post…
We’ll go back to the limericks for Friday’s PS3 giveaway, so you can re-use it then.
No-one steal it 😛
Actually Dave, are you able to delete that post completely?
Alright, here’s a proper entry, following the rules this time 😛
There’s a Prince of PoP
But it’s not Michael Jackson
This one stays alive
Can this one win for being so un-PC,
love it!
I can’t help but read “prince of prince of persia” on the first line! Still, love the haiku 🙂
The Prince of Persia
He unleashed the Sands of Time
Good job, now we’re doomed
Rewinding prince
Out of sand
Shish-kebab
Nice win Steverooni, tough competition once again! Not sure I can do better than Philip, but here goes
3D the new trend
Surely the prince can’t fail it
Oh wait, ’99…
He falls to his doom
The Sands of Time are rewound
The Prince falls again
If this does not win
I have a great solution
Have Prince rewind time
Being prince looks hard
I would hate to be his son
When his sand runs out
Well done Stevorooni 🙂
Good luck ps3ers!
Prince of forgot sands,
Which I must have in my hands,
To enjoy the lore,
Before it is destroyed by…
Jacob Gyllenhaal
learn from the past to
succeed in the future. meh,
i have the dagger.
The Prince jumps and falls
Quickly he grabs his dagger
The Prince jumps and lands
Such a lovely day!
Playing in the sands of time
Is that old dog poo?
Forgot about sand
When he lives in a desert
Hollywood Writers
The Prince was in bed
Too much leaping is no good!
Get well soon, mister!
I can control time
But the power i have not
To give myself name.
Squeaky beach sands show
Nudists and their Prince Alberts
Gougue out deep my eyes
On the Apple II
Back in nineteen-eighty nine
Prince of Persia ROCKED
death defying leaps a sight behold my freezing ability makes objects ice cold so gamers have mercy on my soul
I must rewind time
Remove sand from underpants
Heroes never chafe
Gold!!!
run up and down walls
deadly beasts are your match
thy sword is ones escape
I don’t want to touch:
Dagger of Time, or Farah
Just want Chesty Jake
Jake’s fast way to be,
Taken less seriously:
The film of a game.
Raspberry Beret
The kind you find, the kind you ….
Shit! Different Prince
Before you kill me
Your fart stopped me from fleeing
That smell reeked through time…
Always one for a haiku~
Jump high to escape
Soar free but land and beware…
epacse ot hgih pmuJ
These forgotten sands,
Now make me Jake Gyllenhaal.
Might commit incest.
I mess up the jump
check my sand gauge is filled up,
s’all good, time travel.
I mess up the jump
check my sand gauge is filled up,
s’all good, time travel.
I mess up the jump
check my sand gauge is filled up,
s’all good, time travel.
I mess up the jump
check my sand gauge is filled up,
it is not, game over.
Some kind of hero
Leap, duck, dive, fight, turn back time
Tempt fate once again
The Prince has a fall,
He forgot the Forgotten,
Now the World will end.
What in Persian hell?
Why does THAT guy get a sword?
I guess I’ll run left.
If you don’t get it explanation is further down…

(…most of you probably already picked up it’s a reference to the first game. Natural instinct says run right, where a dude sticks you with his sword ‘coz at that point you don’t have one. As a little kid I didn’t know I didn’t start with a sword!)
One step, two step, stop,
At the edge of a trap set,
third step, die, rewind.
stepping on spike traps
in the old skool DOS version
was so annoying
*Inspired from the intro to : Days of Our Lives.
To save her, he dives.
“Like sands through the hourglass…These,
are games of our lives…”
(cue crap soapy music)
p.s. Please don’t ask me what made me think of this…
What made you think of this?
😀
couldn’t resist…
Sands of time matter not,
you win this time nemesis.
Chlamydia. Ouch.
Er just realised the first line doesn’t work 🙁
Sands of time won’t help,
you win this time nemesis.
Chalydia. Ouch.
Poor Prince of Persia
Great game may be overlooked
Same week as Red Dead.
Ubisoft rejoice!
Cel-shading -your greatest foe
Defeated once more
Vertical I run
Moments pass, momentum fails.
Sands through hour glass
Sprinting along walls,
Dodging traps and deadly falls,
Dagger of Time – Save Me
Time will flow backwards
The leaves float up to the trees;
Now, a Second Chance.
I misread yesterdays post and thought haiku where valid yesterday, assuming I’m allowed I’d hate to see mine go to waste so will enter it for today’s draw:
Persian prince brawls in
Zoroastrian palace.
Poor lost donkey Farah.
The Forgotten Sands,
Is that a good name?
I mean, who forgot?
pause it there, rewind
no consequences for a
human VCR
:3
Die, revive, die again.
The sadist inside of me,
cannot get enough.
Sands of time here goes,
The prince fights off sandly foes,
Land is saved, book closed.
Time is a big Train
Move back and forth quick
I don’t have that power.
From where comes the sand,
With which the prince rewinds time?
Sackboy lays dying.
The Forgotten Sands
Hopefully is better than
Warrior Within
Prince, Persian. Save! To
battle! Rewinding battle,
to save persian prince.
Genius. Makes me think of Notlob (tee hee)
Prince sleeps with Farah,
Prince rewinds time so he can,
Sleep with her again
If only I had
my own sands of time, I would
know what to write here
Prince of what country?
The mad W.M.D. wielding
Iran, drop the bomb.
The prince kills Jaffar
In the last chamber he finds
A talking toadstool
There once was a Prince from Persia
who liked to test the physics of inertia
he fell of a wall
and forgot to cover his balls
and now he shall be called as Princess Portia
Ex-Tea Party, now
the POP music composer
Stewart Chatwood, win!
Prince Jake Gyllenhall
doesn’t look very Persian
rewind time recast
The forgotten sands
It has power to stop time
As well as beard growth
Why Prince of Persia?
Farah makes a cameo…
Now she’s a donkey?
The dagger beckons.
Particles of Time scatter.
Remnants become sand.
An angry young man
Fighting to save time itself
Seems that the angle brackets in my last line were mistaken for html, so lets try that again:
An angry young man
Fighting to save time itself
(cue wailing guitar)
Mistimed your leap, fuck!
out of sand, just your luck and
splattered into chunks!
This would be handy
To prove I’m a better Prince
Than Jake Gyllenhaal
Can we put in entries for today now? If so:
Time stops in Persia
After peeing on the Sultan
Our Prince runs away
Hope you like it~
Sorry, this draw closed at midnight.
Then I died… wait no.
That’s not the way it happened.
Shall I start again?
Determination
Is the only way to save
His brother’s kingdom
