I say it's not Nintendo's fault if people would rather play games where they control rabbits with their asses than ANOTHER generic shooter starring a rugged space marine. |

I think the golden age of video games died when Sega dropped out of the race.
Since then, with franchises like God of War and Halo leading the way, I just don't like the direction video games is taking right now, it's like every video game now has to resemble a Joul Schumacher movie, and have at least a 90% chance of being made into a crappy movie by Uwe Boll. I think Uwe Boll is god's way of punishing us for making video games too realistic. |

I got tired of that game after a day, took it back and got Dead Space.

Mirrors Edge looks amazing, I must admit.
If only PS3 had more games with that level of originality, then I might actually be tempted to get one someday. |

The concept is good, and the way you move the character (the whole jumping from roof to roof thing) is great, but the lack of freedom and the horrible single player campaign ruins it. It would have been so much better if they made it more of a sandbox style game.

It has some pretty good reviews.
It seems a lot of games get criticized for not having enough freedom, whatever that means, not every game needs to be GTA. Just from looking at it, it seems like the freedom of movement is pretty great, and the world looks huge. I think games should be judged for what they are, not what they're not. If you want sandbox gaming, play GTA, don't expect every game to be the same or have the same content because of their genre or whatever. |

The action is pretty linear though you can improvise quite a bit etc.
Let's hope some companies do something similar but with more freedom.
