About Prince of Persia: The Fallen King

Facing imminent danger, the Prince flees to a deserted kingdom that seemingly offers sanctuary. Already touched by the evil Corruption, a dark substance that physically contaminates the land and the skies, the kingdom is filled with adventure, challenge and intrigue. As the Prince seeks a way to fight the spreading Corruption destroying the land, he encounters a partially infected creature that promises salvation. But is the creature truly an ally or merely an enemy in disguise? It seems this perilous alliance may be the only way for the Prince to face the forces of darkness and save the Persian kingdom from the Corruption once and for all.

UBISOFT ANNOUNCES AT IDEF 4 NEW NINTENDO DS GAMES IN ITS GAMES FOR EVERYONE FRANCHISE

By  • 

London, UK – June 24th, 2008 – Ubisoft announced today at the IDEF trade show, organised in Cannes, France, the coming launch of 4 new titles in its Games For Everyone range: Imagine Modern Dancer, Imagine Baby Club and Martin Mystery: Monster Invasion will be released in all EMEA territories. Totally Spies! 4: Around the world will be published in France, Spain and Netherlands. All the titles are developed for the Nintendo DS and will hit the shelves in Fall 2008.

Following the outstanding success of Imagine Babies, Ubisoft offers its fans to continue the adventure with Imagine Baby Club on Nintendo DS, developed by Virtual Impact. The goal of the game is to become the best babysitter in town so that you can be hired at the town’s top Child Daycare Center. Players will have to gain parents’ confidence and will be able to take care of 8 babies at the same time. They will take part in daily training such as sitting, grabbing, standing, walking, and eating alone. The manner and style in which each of these training activities is done by the player will in turn create a very individualized baby which will uniquely differ for every player. No baby will be exactly alike! Thanks to the Nintendo DS wireless communication system, girls will even be able to share their unique babies with their friends whenever they want to share in the fun and games of babysitting.
