I’m thankful for… Mirror’s Edge. Here is an awesome fast-paced graphically awesome addition to the PS3 arsenal. EA put together a great engine with superior graphics and great gameplay feel. As you’re running the edges of your vision blur and if you have vertigo I don’t recommend looking down; you play it in a first person view. 

The combat is all about timing or fleeing. There’s a bit of fun in being able to disarm a shotty off of a cop and then blast his buddy in the chest to send him flying. The game can be a little frustrating as often its tricky to figure out where to go, even though pathways are often lit up in red. When you’re running from a Helo, you don’t have a lot of time to figure out which building to vault off of next. 

The story line is decent. Set in a future world where Fascism has won you’re struggling to uncover a murder plot while your sister is set-up for the fall. The game has a prince of persia feel to it, only on Speed.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, I’m going to go attempt to complete the fifth chapter.
