The Game Reviews is well aware of the difficulty gamers face when floods of new releases come rushing at them from every direction. Sometimes it’s hard to determine just what titles in the consequent sea of software are worth your hard-earned cash, and which could be passed up and returned to at a later date.

Three to Watch is a new monthly feature here at TGR,highlighting a triad of worthy titles for the upcoming month and keeping our readers in the know. Without further ado, here are December’s Three to Watch:

Prince of Persia (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)
Release Date: December 2nd (360, PS3); December 9th (PC)

This may not be the Prince of Persia we have come to know in recent years, and the game has seen its fair share of criticism because of that. Many people love the Sands of Time trilogy, but Ubisoft has decided that it’s time for a change; they have decided to implement a new prince, a change in visual style, and a new AI partner to create a PoP experience like never before.

The new Prince of Persia will feature Elika, a new AI partner who helps you along your quest through a stylized, cel-shaded world, cast in a whole new light. The high flying acrobatics, combat, and solid storyline everyone has come to expect remain intact, if not improved upon. With the announcement of significant downloadable content, this game should not be put on the back burner, but added to the top of your December list.
