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?
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 four 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 Xbox 360 draw will close at midnight tonight. No multiple entries please – but you may enter the next draw using a new haiku or perhaps a limerick. Make sure you leave a valid email or comment via Facebook Connect.
And yesterday’s PS3 winner is:
David Ferris!
Time will flow backwards
The leaves float up to the trees;
Now, a Second Chance.
Shouts out to DrMike, Phillip Mayes and SCreaming Stop Sign for making me chuckle. But David’s second line just nails what a traditional haiku is all about.
Frozen treats pass by…
Prince looks at dagger. Light bulb.
Greensleeves plays backwards.
Prince of Persia plys
his poignard of times gone past,
pines for purple hair.
In the forgotten sands,
A persian formally known as prince,
Hides in his hands.
First, The Sands of Time
Then came Warrior Within
Lastly, The Two Thrones
I think what you’re trying to say is..
PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE
PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE PRINCE
PRINCE PRINCE OF PERSIA!
A shout out, but no prize… and that was my A-material! Luckily, this well runs deep 🙂
Overused dagger
Causes time travelling glitch.
World is now 8-bit.
Time is relative
Quantum physics is my field
Oh, and I’m a Prince
Running across walls
Badly timed jumps causing death
Need more god damn sand.
Never played P. O. P
In 28 years, never, seriously
Give me free, I’ll see.
little red corvette
oh baby you’re much too fast
godammit wrong prince
acrobatic swing
flying with such majesty
the freedom is bliss
Congrats David! Ok, here goes again:
First real time game
Murder on train, then came Prince
Mechner, lord of time
Strange man wears one glove
off the wall, he’s a thriller
it’s the king of PoP
hehe see what i did there? 😉
nice. much better than my prince limerick.
Danke 🙂
Pure genius!
Ah, I think we have a winner 🙂
2D was simpler
but 4D is more modern
why let the past die?
Jacob Gyllenhaal
Is not of Persian decent
But rules in Persia
Navigating spikes
Creep forward slowly and live
Move quickly and die
If you don’t succeed,
then hit rewind one more time,
and you’ll lose no time
Haiku for Persia
My brain tries to be clever
Alas, no ideas
Across the desert,
Silence is broken,
The son rises again
Time’s not swift and sure.
Like an ocean in a storm;
Time’s always changing.
Repeated attempts
Prince and I, alike we are
Continued failure
🙂
with one hour to live
the prince now knows new techniques
like a VCR
Freeze.. Jump.. Run…
Travel back in time if missed…
Prince.. it’s Magic..!!!
Long time planning path
Towards the end I fall down
Lucky I have sand!
A forgettable Prince have the Persians,
With so many platforming diversions,
Now Donnie Darko’s a foot,
Showcasing pommy accents and smut,
Thank God* we still get our gaming perversions.
*Insert relevant faith – God, Allah, Budda, Jebus, Yoda, Tony Abbott, Sir Les Patterson, etc.
Can’t understand why the Prince sounds British in the New Movie!
Nolan North sheds tears
Has lost a lucrative job
Ubisoft rewound time
The prince glides with grace
As majestically, time swirls
Neither bound by force.
The Prince of Persia
He went into the future
Now Prince of Iran
Never played these games,
Why is it up to the Prince?
Don’t they have armies?
It is haiku time
Still see lots of limericks
People cannot read
Prince believes in sand..
Of time? Yes, but saviour.. no.
Persia has a fate.
P.O.P haiku’s
sand themed syllables and jake
can i has game now?
Gone is the cell shading
Back to the past
No more hand holding
We all shout “At Last”
The Prince of Persia
He spins, flips and twirls the sand.
Like the hourglass turns.
Scorching white hot sand
Grit and sweat upon my brow
Time for a shampoo
Girlfriend hates my games.
‘But look- it’s Jake Gyllenhaal!’
Two as one on couch.
Clinging to rock walls,
Hoping that I don’t fall off,
At least there’s reloads.
Dunes of sand
Scratch itchy eye
Damaged cornea
Time resembles sand
Keeps slipping through ones fingers
But a dagger won’t
Drops like Autumn leaves
With dagger in hand time is reversed-
the sand is the key
Do I get extra points for including Kigo and Kireji?
The passage of time
Skewed as the dagger amends,
Once was is no more.
Getting review code,
Thought I’d say ‘hi’ anyway,
Ignore this entry.
His alter ego hides,
in the silhouette of time.
“Please don’t let her die”
When he annoys you
You can drop him off a cliff
Then rewind for more
A kingdom in need
The Prince must decide quickly
Red sash or blue sash?
“Time rewinding sand,
Help the prince prevent the sandstorm!”
Humanities cry.
“Time rewinding sand,
Help the prince prevent the storm!”
Humanities cry.
The first one was an accident. Please don’t penalize me for that. Thanks.
New Prince of Persia
Dark hair, can rever… hang on
Wasn’t first Prince blonde?
Once upon a time, a prince lived;
world was full of sands…
time has come to relive the sand storm…
Three days with out sleep,
I wish I had that dagger,
Rewind assignments!
An old friend returns,
Daringly perched again,
Adventure awaits.
Like the Monkey Swings
He transcends human limits
How he shames us all
I remember when,
The Prince could not rewind time,
Pixel spikes can kill!
The sand corns of time,
within each second will run
like the prince coming
