Prince of Persia arrived in the mail from GameFly yesterday. Little disappointed that it wasn't Prototype but I was really excited to play PoP before it was released and while my interest in it has dwindled I'm still happy to be playing it now.

Really, though, what is the deal with those easy cheevos? You literally get one for playing the game the first time. Seriously?! I don't think I've ever unlocked that many achievements that quickly - all for doing practically nothing. It felt like just about every minute some achievement was popping up. I would have gotten another easily too had I known that there was one for beating the Concubine a certain way.

Personally, I think achievements should mean something - that they should be an achievement; not because I can hold the block button.

Seems like the rest won't come AS easily but none really seem particularly hard. I am fairly certain that I won't be getting the cheevo for falling less than 100 times. I think I may have come close in the hour I played just last night.

I am hoping I can get the girlfriend in to this one. It's a gorgeous looking game. She was sitting next to me while I played and she was having fun with some of the humorous dialogue - although the way they enunciate "fertile" was really ticking her off. So between that and the no risk of death aspect of the game, I'm hoping she gets interested. She's told me that she hates "failing" in games so this seems to be along the right path anyway.
