    Mirror's Edge

    So it looks like DICE is diversifying from Battlefield and has a new title coming out, Mirror's Edge. It's based on Unreal Engine 3 and focuses on parkour and freerunning with some gunplay and martial arts, although the focus appears to be more on the running than the combat.

    From what I've read so far, the setting is what looks like a utopia but is in fact a heavily monitored and controlled dystopia where the only way messages are assured not to be monitored is by courier runners like the character you control. As far as gameplay goes, you want to keep up momentum and the route you should take is highlighted by objects becoming red, with the help tapering off as you get further (and highlighted routes won't necessarily be the fastest route).

    Anyway I'll shut up and just give you the video link: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33585.html

     That actually looks pretty cool. Smells like an answer to Portal, but still... looks different enough and not just remaking something that has already been done. Maybe a 3D version of the original Prince of Persia?
