![]() ![]() The Island had better spread-out structures, platforms and death traps, with more intricate design and detail. ![]() ![]() Warrior Within’s Island of Time made vast improvements over Sands of Time’s limited albeit engrossing Palace of Azad. Oh, and for those of you who were expecting purely metal stuff in this next entry if an angry Persian warrior slicing his enemies in half like they’re sandwich bread ISN’T metal enough for you, then I don’t know what is.įirst, the level design. Allow me to share with you my opinion (and I can’t state that word any more obviously) that Warrior Within could in fact be the BEST game of the trilogy. After playing through the three games, I find it slightly unfair that that particular game has to be the black sheep of the ‘Sands of Time’ series. I say “relatively”, because some nitpickers still managed to find small faults with each of the three games, and most of these were unceremoniously heaped on the 2 nd entry, Warrior Within. Think of this as an almost 10 th Anniversary magic of sorts, after the series’ end in 2005 with The Two Thrones.Įverything from the level design to the combat to the free-running and parkour movement mechanics could keep even the staunchest of game critics relatively quiet while writing their reviews in their parents’ basements. The ‘Sands of Time’ trilogy of the Prince of Persia games (I’m not counting The Forgotten Sands here) could be THE BEST GAME SERIES OF ALL TIME. Over the past six months, I steadily came to a realisation an epiphany, even. ![]()

![]() She created Like a Boy to make men face how they act and to show women that they shouldn’t fall for men’s games. ![]() Her song, “Like a Boy” was influenced by her ex-boyfriend, Bow Wow, who wined and dined her, but then would cheat on her. Ciara has said that watching Destiny’s Child was a big part of the reason why she became a hip-hop artist. Ciara says that she was heavily influenced by Destiny’s Child, a group of self-empowering women that took the music industry by storm during a time when it wasn’t easy to make it as an all female group. This is significant because we know that, at an early age, she was forced to surrender to a man’s needs. In 2007, when the video was released, not a lot of women were speaking up for themselves so Ciara used her voice for them.Ĭiara’s background of being a military child forced Ciara’s mother and herself from place to place. I love this music video and have been obsessed with it since I was in the sixth grade. She’s helping to show that gender roles expect them to be polar opposites, like black and white. This furthers our understanding of the contrast of behavior in men and women in relationships. While she does this, she is wearing a white dress. Ciara also dances on and off with her male alter ego, who is smooth and dark. They do this because Ciara is comparing women in relationships to things that are easily played with, that get taken advantage of and that aren’t shown respect, like toys. The dancers, at one point, act like little programmed toys. Most of the female dancers in this video are dressed in masculine attire and dance with a lot of power, to demonstrate who holds the power in the relationships Ciara is describing. This music video is all about traditional gender roles and how they still are applied to a lot of modern relationships, unfairly. She wears baggy pants, a white muscle tank, chains around her neck and tattoos. She then looks into the camera and says, “Ladies, it’s time to switch roles”. At the beginning of the video, Ciara appears sitting in a throne-like chair in boyish attire. ![]() The performers and dancers in Ciara’s “Like a Boy” music video all demonstrate prioritization of the men versus women binary. ![]() |
