A couple weeks ago, my wife and I picked up Disgaea 3. As a tactics-style RPG, it’s more my cup of tea than my wife’s, but she has said she thinks the game is cute and maybe even funny and she likes watching me play it.

Of course, it’s less satisfying for her than a game we both enjoy, which is why tonight we picked up Prince of Persia. Still, Disgaea is a series I’ve enjoyed since its inception and while it may not push the PS3 at all technologically, it’s still a darn fun series.

It may not have the cardboard displays and full support at retail that Prince of Persia did, but Disgaea 3 is more likely to chart near the top of my personal faves list.

My wife and I just picked up Prince of Persia, the all-new PS3 version that was released initially last November, and all I can say is, Wow. The graphics are distinctive and detailed, and the action is beautiful to behold. While running along walls takes a bit of getting used to, the game has taken the innovation experimented with in Assassin’s Creed and launched it to a new level.

I was never a big fan of the Prince of Persia series prior to this, but it was the excellence of Assassin’s Creed that made me want to check it out; also, my wife simply loves action-oriented games, so she was interested as well. I think we’ll both end up pleased off this purchase. It’s a lot more satisfying than buying our dog and cat pet beds, anyway.
