Prince of Persia? More like king of good games
I'm so sorry for that subject line
Listen to this week’s episode
We're only a couple weeks into 2024, and already, we think we have a bonafide GOTY contender on our hands: Ubisoft's new Metroidvania reimagining of the Prince of Persia franchise! Also, we're not calling them Metroidvanias anymore.
Plus, we take a look back at our favorite games in the series — like the forgotten reboot from 2008!

Since you’ll be discussing like a dragon next week, I was wondering if we could get a small movie segment from Plante at the end recommending some Japanese films that might have similar vibes to the series.
Since 1st quarter is a little financially tight, I'd like to recommend some free money for the android users (sorry Apple folks). The Google Opinion Rewards app lets you take various surveys about search results, ads, locations you've visited, etc. in exchange for money to spend in the app store. Data privacy is always a contentious topic, especially with Google, so use it at your own discretion, but I've been using it since 2018 and have amassed over $60 of free money to use in the Play Store. It's great for getting full games, removing ads, or buying some guilt-free microtransactions!
Love the show guys!
