What is it like to create a famous prince? EG caught up with Jordan Mechner, the royal blood behind the Prince of Persia series. Jordan tells us about his hard work and how his extensive use of film and video helped to create these unique titles. ('EG Interview: Meet Jordan Mechner, The Real Prince of Persia' by Russ Ceccola)
