Mirror’s Edge Gameplay Footage

Posted May 8th, 2008 at 10:15am

Here's a game that I'm getting pretty excited about. Mirror's Edge. Inspired by Parkour, aka freerunning, aka you're gonna break your neck when you fall, Mirror's Edge tells the story of a young woman looking to find her sister. Over the eyes and ears of a squeaky-clean surveillance-based totalitarian regime. While working as a courier for the underworld. Which involves taking messages from here to there out of the range of the cameras. Across the rooftops. Here, just watch. That's all in-game footage, by the way. So, let's get out our little checklist here: Interesting visual motif? Running across the rooftops: Check. Compelling plot framework? 1984 is a favorite novel, so check. Compelling character? We'll see, but a woman fighting the good fight to rescue a sister has serious potential: Check. I could play a game that involved nothing but running across rooftops all day long. Add in a good plot and I'm hooked.

Grand Theft Auto IV suffering freezing problem

Posted April 29th, 2008 at 9:41pm

No one knows why, and there's no ETA on a fix. Condolences to the Rockstar support staff, their life must be hell at the moment.

Worst loading times ever

Six 20 second loading screens (120 seconds of loading), roughly 30 seconds of gameplay. Whee?
