Mirror's Edge is an incredibly unique experience that is extremely important in the age of an extremely over-saturate game market. We're constantly being flooded by the same types of games and an endless stream of sequels that rarely do anything new. That's not to say any of these games are ...

Mirror's Edge is a first person free-running game from Battlefield veterans DICE Studios. There has been much skepticism about the game thinking the gameplay and controls couldn't work. Well they do and Mirror's Edge is worth the money. Mirror's Edge is about a runner named Faith who is trying to find ...

Unprecedented

Fundamentally, Mirror's Edge is a game about balance. During those tentative first steps, it's literally about not falling from the ledges, poles and bars that seem oh so daunting to cross. Once the controls have been acclimatised to, it's a case of keeping encounters in check and learning how to ...
