I had so many “running” puns I couldn’t decide which one to go with, and I eventually just gave up and figured a literal title to the post was the best way to go. Rest assured I had ones to play on Logan’s Run, Running Man, Run Lola Run, and more. But, I failed you all and was left dejected and unable to think of anything good enough to grace this post headline.

Oh, by the way… Mirror’s Edge looks fucking sick and is now one of my more anticipated titles. But what system to get it for? I hate the 360 Avatar system so much I’m now seriously open to other consoles. I actually don’t care that this game doesn’t integrate them, the whole thing just bugs me. Yea, I hate it that much and you’ll hear me ranting about for quite some time. I hate it more than motion controls. The whole idea makes me want to run, to run so far away…. (ZING!)

At SCEE Playstation Day in London, EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) released a new trailer for their upcoming game, Mirror’s Edge. EA is apparently claiming the trailer is showing real game play footage and if that’s true, well colour me impressed.

Mirror’s Edge follows the story of a runner, who is lucky enough to be graced with awesome name of Faith and works as a delivery girl who delivers important information in an alternative reality future that has become ultra paranoid about using electronic communications. She becomes a target of mysterious government forces when the information she carries becomes too important for her to deliver to its intended party.

Of course, Faith isn’t some damsel in distress as she’s able to kick some butt and take some names with some killer Matrix style moves. DICE also opted to not have Faith use guns in the game, but her enemies do, so gamers will have to choose between fight or flight tactics when faced with the oncoming projectiles.

The trailer sports a moment where Faith is balancing on a pipe as she makes her way across it and I’m thinking the developers might use moments like this to use the SIXAXIS controls for the PS3 version, much like Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune did. God, I hope not.

No release date has been announced for the game yet, but the game will be available on PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows when it does hit the market.
