Mirror's Edge 2. No hesitation in deciding it either. For one I love the architectural design of the platforming puzzles (or put another way, the layout of obstacles that allows you to flow throughout the level). Two, I think there are lots of interesting things you can do with co-op and competitive multiplayer modes (co-op time trials where one player affects the environment to create new paths for the other player and competitive deliver the message bag for example). Three, I think the fiction is actually interesting with quality setting, characters and conflict (conflict in a plot device sense not a game mechanic sense. The game mechanic of shooting dudes was kind of sluggish but not unfixable for a sequel).
Now that I think about it Mirror's Edge 2 might actually be announced but other than the announcement it seems to be a dead project, on the back burner while Dice makes Battlefield 3 or being developed very quietly and not being shown till it's super polished and ready to ship.
