Obama and Prince of Persia

Some great things happen to me this week. Obama became my/our President, and I scored a copy of the beautiful PS3 game, Prince of Persia.

Obama brings hope for our nation and the world. This game gives me hope that art in video games is still welcome.

I really can't blame the rest of the civilized world for hating our country right now, and I really hated the lack of real creative artistry in games. I long for games like Jet Set Radio, Shadow of Colossus, or Okami that blend art, story, and game play.

So Prince of Persia is an easy game, but really wonderful and fun. The visual watercolor landscapes are breathtaking and magical. I hope the coming years with Obama as President bring us some great times and change too.

Bring back a country we can be proud of and bring back art and creativity in games.
