Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time

I'm almost 50% done with the game... It's amazingly good - should have played it 2 years back when my gamer friends were raving about it.

My favorite part of the game is the Fountain which increases the Prince's life bar. I spend way too much time looking for "the secret places" which will lead the Prince to the Fountain. In one of the levels - there's a ladder which the Prince can't jump to - cos' he's in water and being in water affects his ability to run up walls. However, I was convinced there *is* a way to get on the blasted ladder cos' it will lead to THE FOUNTAIN. So I spent an hour trying every possible stunt to get onto it. I gave up in the end and moved on.. turns out you revisit this place a little while later with a block (from ahead in the game which aids you to get onto the ladder) and there is NO FOUNTAIN at the top of that ladder.. GAH!

The great thing is once you find the pathway to the Fountains - it's a guaranteed safe place - no monsters of any kind lurking about and you can spend as much as time as you want here with ethereal sounds playing in the background. Once the Prince is done powering up he just "wakes up" - Fountains of power - all in his head...

Since I love these Fountains *so* much I've taken a few screenshots of them off the TV (therefore, the quality isn't very good) and put them up here.. Now I'm free to visit them any time (as long as I have a net connection).. :)

I hope there isn't a stairway to heaven.. there should be bridges like this.. they're way hipper.. :)
