Opinion: Mirror's Edge

17 Dec 2008 15:35:00 PST

Written by noreply@blogger.com (Greg Tannahill)
Screw you all. Mirror's Edge was excellent. I say this despite my criticisms of its character design, despite years of dissatisfaction with publisher EA, and despite a general antipathy towards platform games stretching back over several decades. I'm sorry, but it was excellent.

Review: Mirror's Edge

18 Nov 2008 21:34:50 PST

Written by jvm(noreply@blogger.com)
Mirror's Edge is a new high-concept game from EA that combines parkour with a first-person perspective. From a technical standpoint it succeeds in several areas, and I heartily recommend the demo. I do not recommend the full game. Few games have made me as emotional as Mirror's Edge. Regrett...

Dead Space is an over the shoulder action game that is an tasty mix of Sci-fi and horror with a lot of polish.

It's in someway their own admission that the focus wasn't there as they...
