Prince of Persia - Sands of Time

Well, this game is spectacular. It's addicting, exciting and hands down entertaining. And here's why:

The graphics are top-notch. The beautiful palaces and ruins are an awesome setting for this adventure. There are some fight sequences, but they take a back-seat to the puzzling mazes and labyrinths that you have to think your way through. There are some really tough ones in there!

The story is great, too. Of course, it's fairly predictable: Prince saves the Princess and beats the bad guy in the end--only if you win of course. The basic premise is that the Princess is kidnapped by one of her father's evil counselors who murders her father in an attempt to gain power. The Prince has the power to turn back time using a magical dagger and magic sand.

And the ending is a real surprise. I'd say 10 out of 10!!
