Mirror's Edge, is a first person platform for the PS3. It follows into the footsteps of games like Prince of Persia or Tomb Raider, except its all from the first person perspective this time. In many aspects the game is quite a bit like Breakdown, which had first person platforming ...

Parkour, for the uninformed, is an activity that involves maneuvering an environment by any physical means possible. Go to Youtube.com and search ‘Parkour,’ and you’ll find myriad videos of individuals from all sorts of urban locales over the world jumping from rooftop to rooftop, running along walls, and just generally ...

Mirror's Edge is a brave foray into a new genre with a few gripes
(
PS3

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 ...

Mirror's Edge is a new IP created by EA DICE. Massive props to EA (can't believe I said that) for attempting to be innovative and try something new in a world that loves to stick to the working formula for a guaranteed dollar, pound, etc. Mirror's Edge is a first ...

Mirror's Edge is an action game that has you running from roof top to roof top trying to solve a mystery, while at the same time trying to stick it to the man with your freedom. Basically there's a centralized government that everyone, but the 'runners' have conformed to. There ...

It has happened to everyone; a game you love but at the same time, can't believe how frustrated you've gotten playing it. On the whole, it is still a great experience, but there are instances when the game just has too many moments that make you wonder if continuing is ...

This is the main character Faith, seen here taking some names. Mirror’s Edge is a first person action game. The unique thing about it is that it’s more like first person free running game. This allows for unique set pieces and game play. But due to some confusing ...

One of hardest genres that developers have failed time and time again to get right is the first person platforming. Despite a wealth of great first person shooter games on the market, developers have struggled with letting people experience other genres from the same perspective. Many have tried, some have ...

I was really pulling for Mirror's Edge to be one of the best games of the year. I mean, with a concept this unique, the development expertise of DICE, and EA's deep pockets, ME should have been superb. The harsh reality is that all the hype has built up to ...

Mirror's Edge could have been a great and exciting platformer, but instead stumbles constantly, just keeping it from reaching its obvious potential. At its best, this game is rush, a wild ride of running, jumping, and doing batman and spiderman style tricks accross rooftops, and inside buildings. The way you ...

No doubt about it: Mirror's Edge tries for something different. Where the typical first-person game is lambasted for including jumping puzzles and platforming elements, Mirror's Edge makes this kind of motion-based gameplay the primary selling point. Where many game dystopia paint their worlds in broad strokes of gray and brown ...

There are three games inside Mirror's Edge. One is an awesome and original first-person game that emphasizes on flow and momentum, with a shaky camera that reminds me of the Bourne movies. One is a slow puzzle game, with a focus on platforming, which reminds me of Portal. ...
