Mirror

One of the most fascinating games released in recent months, Mirror's Edge puts us in the shoes of Faith, a messenger who lives in a town completely controlled and monitored, responsible for transporting messages from those on the margins of society.

Different not only by the visual, which shows a city clean and clear, almost monochrome, but the visual perspective. The highlight of the game are the many stunts performed by Faith to move around the city, using techniques of Parkour.

However, contrary to what would be the first option, the developers at EA Dice (known for games in the Battlefield series) chose to keep the game entirely in first person, which increases the immersion in that universe.

To help the player find their way, Mirror's Edge offers a feature called Runner Vision, a representation of the character of the instinct to choose the best path, which leaves red elements of the scenario that can be used by Faith to cross their barriers.

The game focuses on character interaction with the environment, and despite allowing the use of weapons, they flounder in acrobatics and let Faith slower, so the game encourages the player to not use weapons, and concentrate on fighting hand-to-body (There is even an Achievement for those who complete the game without firing a single shot).

Mirror's Edge still has no release date, and is available for PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.
