Mirror's Edge was one of the most innovative titles to appear last year, having stunned a lot of gamers with its gorgeous graphics, lifelike gameplay and intricate puzzles that the main character of the game, Faith, needed to run through.

A lot of developers have created their own identity through the games they made. Such is the case with Digital Illusions CE, or DICE as it is known to fans, the creator of the famous Battlefield shooter franchise and, more recently, Mirror's Edge.

I like Mirror's Edge because it is first person and allows you to run really, really fast across a future city of white and red. It's a dystopia a gamer can love.The sense of freedom in the game is a direct result of the fact that Mirror's Edge is first person. It feels a bit weird at first but the sen... |

Mirror's Edge is one of the most innovative games that were launched last year. It strayed away from the gritty, realistic and, most of all, gray surroundings from almost every other game that appeared alongside it, e.g. Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, etc, and brought us a city filled with vibrant colors and lush... |

I played two games in the last two days dealing very differently with the most basic of game props: doors that players can move through. In Mirror's Edge on the PC, the character, Faith, runs and as such cannot afford to slow down in order to put her hand on a knob in order to turn it. She hits the door with eit... |

Mirror's Edge is perhaps one of the most innovative titles that have appeared last year. Its fresh and unique take on platforming and free-running games coupled with some stunning visuals and level design have made it a breath of fresh air among the other titles that have appeared at the end of last year. Unfor... |

Despite the fact that the gaming industry is considered by some one of the most creative types of entertainment out there, sometimes such a thing isn't true.

The gaming industry has been following a somewhat descending trend when it comes to making original games that push the envelope in terms of gameplay or story. As such, we've been flooded with sequels or titles that have been built on a tried and true recipe, which didn't really bring any new things to the ... |

Electronic Arts is, apparently, in a tight spot. It has laid off people from both Madden powerhouse EA Tiburon and from the Mythic Entertainment team handling development and maintenance of the MMO Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. And it seems that the company is still short of its restructuring goal of laying off... |

My cousin, who is the same age as me, taught me to play Diablo and love loot. True story. We were young and I thought videogames meant strategy titles. She was young and only played one computer game: the first Diablo.To this day, my cousin has only played light dungeon running games like the Diablo series (she'... |

Game development is, despite popular belief, a very tough job filled with difficult challenges and tough periods. This is especially true when the team is a big one, made up of various people, all working without a concrete goal in mind, which is reflected more severely on those responsible for the game story, the wr... |

Innovation is a tough thing to achieve, especially in games. Most developers resort to the same old clichés when it comes to various types of genres, but every once in a while, a game that stuns and dazzles everyone with a very simple approach arrives. Such is Mirror's Edge, which takes platforming and fr... |

Last year's holiday season saw the release of some high-quality games. Sadly, a lot of them were sequels to already existing franchises, which made people buy them because they were sure of what they were getting for their hard earned money. This made the new games released at that time, like Dead Space or Mirro... |

Most game reviewers and game reporters only write about the games they play and the titles they are interested in are mainly determined by their biological age. It is kinda hard to write about games for small children or about titles suited for those over the age of 50 when you only have the experience of your age gr... |

Overlord was a very interesting game, giving you the possibility to play as a dark warrior called, what else, the Overlord. You had the ability to summon little golem-like creatures called minions, which did all of your dirty work in battles and in other parts of the game. The story was quite unique, taking a very di... |

Well guess what? We were seriously wrong. After 150 dollars' worth of DVDs and artwork offered w... |

The gaming industry is really, really suffering. And the name of the disease is not piracy on the PC, restrictive DRM from the publisher or the impossibility of adapting RTS mechanics on gaming consoles. These are trivial matters with little or moderate impact on the gaming world. The big issue with the whole industr... |
