A Gaming Diary
Mirror’s Edge (360)
Rental arrived from Lovefilm. Spent an hour or so with it and pretty much fell in love. I did the training, the prologue, then played through Chapter One a couple of times, then did the first time trial. (I didn’t do very well.)
It looks lovely and feels solid and correct. When you get it right and are running and jumping without pause, it’s exhilarating. When you fail, you want to try again.

I think I’m going to send this back to Lovefilm uncompleted. I spent about fifteen minutes last night on one section.
