The game is nothing to write home about, it is alright but it's slightly average. Nothing new. Unless you think running really fast and leaping from building to building in first person is cool, which I think is boring concept.

Isn't it DX9? And is it performance hungry?

Please if you have the 185 drivers uninstall them... they are s*** and they will screw up your computer sooner or later. They are in Alpha and they are extremely unpredictable.

Mirror's edge has got little going for it other than it's physics(not the physX). With PhysX and computer controls it will be fun for speed runs & looks. You can really fly in this game. It's not too intensive. You could power through it with an 8800.

This game never really interested me... for wall running and climbing, I would prefer third person. I might try it eventually, but probably not.

I'm taking the outside of the image is funny to simulate her peripheral vision? This game might be so realistic it's annoying

I'm definitely interested in this game. I wouldn't mind a demo though.
NewEgg has it for $47 shipped btw:

We should monitor death by misadventure statistics over the next 6 months.

When Parkour became popular after "jump london" was released, the number of kids breaking bones falling off walls and buildings increased exponentially. Perhaps this will happen again.

I agree. Even if a game is epically good, he bashes it in a way. His reviews are funny, but I don't take them seriously at all.

I agree I'm starting to fall into that pattern myself, I'm almost dubbing everything as average or suckage...because I possibly the little child that might be left in me is probably screaming WTF
