Mirror's Edge - better than I imagined, much better, as I didn't buy into the hype. I must admit I didn't follow the story at all, but the game mechanics, the soundtrack and the art style were great, I enjoyed the game immensly. The city is just.. beautiful, great use of colors and light. The adrenalin pumping chases reminded me of the beginning of HL2, the only part of HL2 I actually enjoyed. I heard people complain about the game being frustating - well, some scenes were a little harder than others, but not to the point where I would smash my head against the wall. They were challenging, but the savepoints were well placed, and I finished the game in two days. A new record for me, actually.

I think I'll play this game again some time just to see this city again. Can't wait for the sequel.

8/10

Oh, and I only found out that I could pick up the guns after the last fight. Doh.
