1^st person evasion adventure

Single Plalyer/Multiplayer options

Mirror Edge begins after Faith had a accident that had her MIA. On her return back on the job, you are met up with Celeste who is there to give you a refresher course. She aids you along and explain the basics. As you follow here from rooftops, balance on beams, jumping over conduits, she explain to Faith how each objective is accomplished. After the run down on how to maneuver around her environment, Celeste will go over self defense with you. After all is said and done its time to work. After the visually beautiful cut scenes of Faith body flowing from roof top and swinging off pole or other things. Giving a eyeful of the of her surroundings.

After training she is ready for her run and set out to deliver the package. In route to her destination, by way of a air dock, she, crawled in and trespass into the building. A squad of cops alerted by a news helicopter of her trespassing. Then the chase is on. The cop fire at the unarmed Faith as she take flight by stairs, cut corners, kick doors open, jump off stack, planks or hurdle over object and breaking falls. Disappointingly short, an evasive game that resemble a first-person shooter, didn’t reveal a lot. Not much to work on. The controls was simple enough. The only problem I had was my balancing act on the pipe crossing from one building to another. I just looked towards my feet and use the dot and targeted the extended pipe.

Black Friday is over and part one of X-mas shopping is at an end. This year I was looking to purchase the mainly video games and a PSP for the boy, six years of age. I went to Wal-Mart first and compared prices. I saw a PSP Ratchet edition with game of the same title for $199 and another for I think around $150 somewhere else. But I got my prize at the Silver Pawn Shop originally for 109 for a PSP. The nice lady knocked it down to $99 and two games for $5.99 each. Last stop of the of the day was at GameCrazy. Sale still going on today, here I bought two used PSP games for $14.99 and less. Buy one get one free for selected items for 9.99 for the XBOX360, Assassin Creed and Dark Sector, brand new. I was gonna get Ben 10, but that sold out at this particle store but the one on the other side of town may still have one.

I love going to GameCrazy. The employees have some kind of level of knowledge of game and the Store Director I was speaking to helped me out a lot. He suggested game that we liked, game with the best possible deals and attentive. Also I gain some insight. He informed me that the PSP UMV DVDs to watch movies are no longer coming out, con. Pro, since that is happening the movie are now becoming cheaper and advise me to go on the Net to find movies as low as $5.99. Also I told him I may still get the DS. He suggested that I wait to next year for the new DS model coming sometime in 2009 with video capabilities. Yeah I’m waiting. With the bargain I got I almost/around save 50% of what I would have had if I had paid regular price.

Today I turn on my Xbox 360 and to my surprise I see Mii, oh I mean “avatars” along with a new interface to quickly and easily scroll through section. The avatars can be customized to your liking. With new items coming out every two weeks. Fashion selections will double in upcoming months. Look out for a star incased in a yellow circle. With your avatar you can form a party, jump from game to game with your buddies, and star in a video game. Also games made for your avatar.
