Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more!

Default Mirrors Edge

Anyone else try this? I think its a very underrated game. Storyline was interesting, game play was fluid and a nice change of pace from most other games I had been playing recently.

My girlfriend rented it the other night and so far I really like, the action sequences are top-notch.

Story, not so much...

The cutscenes look silly but the running around and such is all very pretty

There's a Flash 2D version(just Beta for now) :

And EA is working with them on it. So, there's probably a 2D version coming out.

2D version

Wouldn't that render this game completely obsolete?

I think the game is great. Very original concept. I played through the story with a few of my friends (switch off when you die, which is all the time) and it was lots of fun. We didn't pay attention to the story at all though, so I can't comment on that.
I also like the really clean modern look that the game environment has, the lighting is top notch too, a real treat just to look at.

The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is made by EA, and a lot of it seems like it was made using a standard mass-game-generation formula. The whole jumping around thing is great, but the puzzles and environment layout are pretty run of the mill. Its too bad the game wasn't made by some other developer that focuses much more on finer details rather then just surface appeal. The potential for this game is far, far deeper then the level EA takes it too.

Play it and you'll see. It's pretty fun, maybe they're working with him to make a hand held port?

Who know.

Gameplay was ok, but the story was ridiculous. Cutscenes were also one of the worst i've ever seen.
