Hey all. Snide here dropping a short note to plug Lies' complete video walkthrough of Mirror's Edge. He and PureRok got together to compile some speed runs for all nine chapters of the game, of which you can see the first one below. Normally this is something we'd point to on the Friday Bomb Drop, but given the slow news week along with the outstanding quality of the guide itself I figured this could use some extra love. This is our second nod of approval to Lies, whose previous Force Unleashed Guide stands as the top example of the power of the Giant Bomb guide tools. If anyone else is working on a major guide for a new release send me a PM, I love pointing out work from the community.

Fun to watch. But not so fun to play.

This is a good game to watch when it's being played smoothly, kind of lame to actualy play though.

It almost makes you have to think twice about Ryan's review, LAWL!!!  Nice work, doods.
Totally overshadowed my own CoD: WaW guide...and makes me not want to make guides every again!  lol

This game footage looks so great, maybe even more so than the video review of the game...

Yo, just to clarify, most of those videos actually came from Youtube user watuhboy. PureRok only provided the video for the prologue. I promised watuh I'd credit him, so that needed to be cleared up.

But aside from that, cheers for the spotlight again :)

Anyone else having trouble with the guide page not loading?

Yea, I would have helped Lies out more, but the game was aggravating me quite a bit and I haven't managed to complete it yet. I broke my controller shortly after recording that video.

I think Snide has a crush on Lies.  He's always mentioning him.  lol

Yay, now no one needs to figure anything out for themselves. Guide gaming. So fun.  /sarcasm

So simply don't look at it if you don't want to? Instead of being a fucking asshole about it. Its a pretty simple thing to do. Nice job Lies.

Man, Mirror's Edge looks great on a perfect run.

Awesome!  I like the intro to the stairs, never thought of it.  This game frustrated me at times, but it is so worth it!
