Mirrors-Edge-iPhone
Latest
Mirror's Edge free on iOS today
Why not start Friday with a string of vertiginous vaults through a sterile cityscape? EA's faithful, well-constructed mobile version of Mirror's Edge is free on the iOS app store today. It's not a universal program, mind you, so you'll have to grab it on iPhone or iPad separately. It's not as thrilling as DICE's original game -- and less likely to make you look up "proprioception" -- but this interpretation of Mirror's Edge is a breezy side-scroller with elegant controls and combat that's less of a show-stopper. It's also the perfect distraction from all those articles about how Mirror's Edge 2 might, won't, could, and can't happen.
Mirror's Edge vaults onto the iPhone
Click to see all of Faith's roof-hopping antics. So, hypothetical situation. You're perched on the roof of a skyscraper, peering across a lengthy chasm to the adjacent building, where your destination lies. You're suddenly overcome with doubt and uncertainty! If only you had some sort of portable parkour training manual which could show you the proper timing and form for such a jump. Fortunately, your hypothetical needs are being tended to. According to a recent EA press release, the high-flying, first-person adventure, Mirror's Edge, will soon land on iPhones and iPod Touches. A few screenshots for the title (which is due out in January) show that while it will be in 3D, we'll be operating from a side-scrolling perspective rather than being stuck within Faith's head. %Gallery-79316%
