The Dumb Are Mostly Intrigued By The Drum

Parkour is awesome! Sometimes when I see these guys jumping around the landscape like I would imagine Mario would if he were a real person, I tell myself "I need to lose some pounds so I, too, can pull off cool ass shit like that." But I never do so I'll have to make due with a digital representation. A video game iteration of the sport has been attempted in the past but Mirror's Edge is the first game in which the sport has been featured. After months of speculation and very boring screenshots, the first gameplay video has been released the other day at Sony's European Playstation Days event and man.....this looks awesome. Blending some Portal-type first person gameplay along with some action sequences all running on the Unreal Engine....color me interested! Check out the trailer and keep an eye for the game when it released later this year for both the PS3 & Xbox 360.
