While playing with my newly found online gaming communication device, Xfire, a fairly catchy ditty playing on the flat screen caught my ear. I turned to the find what the delightfully joyous sound related to and this is what my eye caught:
The Song: Still Alive by Lisa Miskovsky
The Game:Mirror’s Edge developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE).
Typically, I am not the type to woo over anything outside of the MMO genre, especially a single player first-person action/adventure game; but the mix of music and game play has stirred a tad bit of my interest.
The main character, Faith, is a ‘Runner’, a person trained to covertly relay messages between different groups in a city controlled by a totalitarian regime that monitors all forms of electronic communication amongst it’s citizens. Throughout the game Faith is on the run from the government while trying to help protect her sister who has been framed for the murder of a politician.
As seen by the video, the game has already launched for both the XBox 360 and PS3. It is slated for a Windows (PC) release in January of 2009.

I’ve tried the demo on the PS3 and I must say, it’s a brand new experience of sorts. Kinda hard to control at times, though.
So, does this mean you’ll FINALLY get an xbox 360? If so, we need to talk about a few other titles you need to pick up so we can get together over Live again. Remember your drunken rampages on Battlefield for regualr xbox? Hahaha. Good-times Bro-ham.
LOL! Those were the good ole days. That’s the only reason I had an XBox, I sold it shortly after. I have no desire for console play at this time, I’m easily distracted. II will probably wait until the PC version launches.
Damn it! >.<
