Mirrors Edge
So, grabbed the demo from the PS Store last night.
I have to say that I hadn't really heard a thing about this title prior to seeing it pop up in the store there, but hey...I usually delete my gamespy emails unless there's something in there I'm specifically looking out for. So I load up this demo, not knowing what to expect. Interesting kind've storyline from what I've seen, slightly futuristic. The visuals are nice and crisp. The game itself, well, when I first got onto it all I thought was "weird" - to say this game is in first person view doesn't quite cut it - I have never played a game where you feel quite as "inside the body" of the character, as I did here - it's slightly disorienting but you get over that pretty quickly. The combat and movement incorporates things like deflection and free running...and all feels quite natural. The movement and interaction with the environment is based on timing, flow of movement and is pretty intuitutive but easy to pick up. You really feel as though you're in there, vaulting over things, running across walls, and performing all of the crazy stunts this game throws at you. I have to say, when playing through the demo, for the first time in quite a while I feel like I've stumbled across something NEW to gaming (at least to me) I'd strongly recommend checking out the demo, the full game is definately on my list.

Had a look further into it...
This game is also on x360 - you guys can check it out too. So, there's a demo on the PS store, and I guess hopefully there will be one on whatever the xbox equivalent to that is. Seriously, check it out if you want to experience something truly NEW to gaming.

Did you know ps2 (among a few other consoles, I think) actually had a game called "free running" on it? I have not spoken to a single person who's tried that game... So yeah, try it - I hope the "different" control system doesn't piss you off. Come back in and let me know your thoughts.
