Ubisoft have today announced another addition to much loved Prince of Persia series. Surprisingly enough though this new addition will not be a sequel to 2008′s cel shaded “reboot” (Prince of Persia) but it will be a new entry into the Sands of Time storyline. The game will be titled Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and will be released around the same time as the Disney movie, which means we are looking at a release of May 2010.

Following the announcement Yves Guillemot (Ubisoft CEO) said that the game “will be true to the Prince of Persia roots and should leverage the fantastic impact the movie is going to have on our franchise”. To add to that he also stated the game will cater for both hardcore and casual gamers.

Without sounding too negative, the fact that Ubisoft have stated the game will be coming out around the same time as the Prince of Persia movie (along with the hardcore and casual references) does kind of suggest to us this could be a direct movie tie-in and, let’s face it, we all know how those usually turn out. However without any confirmation from an official source this movie tie-in talk is all just speculation at the moment and in any case if the Ubisoft Montreal folks are behind it we should get a pretty decent game. After many years of working on the series they have yet to give us a bad Prince of Persia game, hopefully the trend continues with this new title.

Feedback from Ubisoft latest Assassin’s Creed title has been “overwhelmingly positive”. Ubisoft has revealed that the game has sold over 1.6 million copies worldwide within its first week of release. While its not the same number as Modern Warfare 2 sold, the figure is up 32 percent on first week sales for the original Assassin’s Creed.

Modern Warfare 2 still hold the number one spot in UK charts. Assassin’s Creed II just missed the spot, coming in at number 2, despite Modern Warfare 2 showing an 84 percent decline in week on week sales in the UK. Check out our review of the title here.

As you may already know, the God of War Collection is now available in the US but has yet to see a European release. SCEE has now confirmed that the God of War Collection will be hitting Europe in 2010, but not in Q1. Europe has a long wait, but at lease this clears up any speculation regarding the European release. The actual date remains a secret for now, though.

Speaking in the latest Official Playstation Magazine Podcast, at the 31:30 minute mark, SCEE revealed that Kratos will ship overseas in Europe next year, “It’s definitely coming, it’s definitely coming next year, not in 2009 but 2010 at some point, not in the very beginning.”

Just over a week ago we brought you the first episode of the Halo Legends and now today for your viewing pleasure we have episode two, The Duel. This new episode takes place thousands of years in the past at the dawn of the Covenant. The story follows a shamed Elite who defies his role as an Arbiter to take a path of revenge against those that stole the only thing that mattered to him. The ancient Arbiter must fight his way through hordes of Grunts, Elites, Hunters and more until he finally stands face-to-face with the Elite who betrayed him. Sounds epic eh?!

The first thing you notice about The Duel is that is has a rather “unique” watercolour anime look, well that’s what we noticed anyway! For all you animé fans this episode was produced by Production I.G, the studio who brought you such classics as Blood: The Last Vampire and Ghost in the Shell. Now, what you waiting for?! Hit the jump to watch this epic episode.
