There's a brilliant article over at Gamespot covering the the final development phase of the new Prince of Persia game. One of the most interesting articles I've read in a long time.

The article explains how Jordan Mechner, creator of Prince of Persia (P.O.P), was responsible for making Karateka during his college years, and the original P.O.P when he was 25. P.O.P was a very popular and influential game, spawning a lot of clones too (Another World, Flash back and you could say Tomb Raider and therefore all its clones as well). It goes through his career after a few failed projects, some career changes, getting roped back into making another P.O.P title, and all the development details on it! Great stuff.
