Ravages of Time
I've been meaning to play Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time for a long, um, time. It's supposed to be good.
Unfortunately, the more I hear about its sequel, the less I want to play the original. Playing The Sands of Time would feel like justification for UBISoft's crapufication of the series with The Warrior Within. With every new tidbit that they release, the sequel is rising so far up on the "Not to Play" list that it's crappiness is seeping onto the original.
The most recent announcement: they signed on Monica Bellucci and Godsmack, because nothing says "Persian" better than a nu-metal refugee and a big-boobed Italian "actress".
Hooray to UBISoft for rising to a high level of prominance -- upon which it took its rightful seat of mediocrity.

You'd be even more embarassed if you heard their hit song "The Reason" -- the most annoying song to hit the airwaves in the last few years. Holy shit.

When I played the demo I figured Chatwood just added some grungy dude's vocals over the title theme. But it is in fact Godsmack, a ripoff artist that couldn't be any more obvious than naming themselves after one of their "inspiration"'s songs. Whoops.

I heard they licensed some songs by a band called HOOBASTANK for the Halo 2 soundtrack.
I'm just sort of embarassed that there's even a band called HOOBASTANK.
In conclusion, HOOBASTANK HOOBASTANK HOOBASTANK.
