First Prince of Persia Movie conceptual artwork
Straight from a new investors relations report, conceptual artwork for a buncha new Walt Disney flicks have hit the internet. Game-wise, images of super producer Jerry Bruckheimer's Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time surfaced. Looking at pics of images on horses and dudes in a boat, I can't help but wonder: How's Bruckheimer going to work in a car chase, explosions and strippers? In slow motion, that's how.

While that made sound a tad unexciting, the bonuses should be of interest to Spider-fans as they include exclusive "Webisodes", behind the scenes clips, trailers and even a new playable character, pictured above. Yep, that's the "New Goblin" from the third Spidey...
