I was already worked up aboutMirror’s Edgethis morning after Jim postedthe new trailer, and to get even more news about the upcoming title all in one day — well — I might have totake a cue from Chadand hit an old lady in the face. It seems like it would be cathartic, and I need something to take my excitement out on anyway.
Not only do we have new screens to whet your appetite, but also more news about the game’s story. It was announced this morning thatRhianna Pratchettis the writer behindMirror’s Edge. In case you aren’t a sci-fi geek, she is the daughter of Terry Pratchett, acclaimed writer of theDiscworldfantasy novels. If you already knew that and read his work, I’m probably talking to an empty room since you’ve probably run out of it howling with delight.
All in all, it looks likeMirror’s Edgeis adding up to be an incredible gaming experience — it made my most anticipated games list the moment I saw the first trailer. And as for naysayers about Faith’s look, I am in absolute disagreement with you. She is sexy, sexy, and sexy again.
