A Gaming Diary
Mirror’s Edge (iPhone)
Absolutely bloody fantastic. I sat down with this game last night and couldn’t put it down until I’d completed it. (It’s not very long.) Then as soon as I’d seen the end of the story, I started doing speed runs. (And I’ve got bags to find and achievements to get.)
Doing a speed run of the training level.
It’s fast, fluid and the controls work wonderfully well – the only sticking spot I had was when I tried to run the “wrong” way on a billboard and the game got confused. The levels are wonderfully designed and – unlike the console version – the combat actually adds to the game.
An absolutely stunning achievement. I can’t praise it enough.
Now, can we have some downloadable level packs, please?

Speed running against my ghost last night. I’ve always found competing against myself a great motivator in games, so this is wonderful. I’m all “Suck it, past self!” and “You bastard!” and stuff. I guess I just exist in the moment and have no loyalty to other versions of me that are separated in time.

Last night I tried this for a final time. It’s going back to Lovefilm today. When it’s good it’s very, very good, but it can be extremely annoying. The LB button (used to jump) isn’t as responsive as I’d like, I keep jumping to my death instead of wall running and – the final straw

I think I’m going to send this back to Lovefilm uncompleted. I spent about fifteen minutes last night on one section. I had to do routine stuff (including disarming/killing/avoiding a couple of enemies) to get to a tricky jump which I was finding impossible to get right. I don’t know if I have the patience

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

After a few weeks completely devoid of gaming while on holiday, I came back and downloaded some demos that I missed. And this one is really good fun. When it all flows it’s just about the best thing ever, when you stumble it’s annoying, overall it’s probably a winner.

Agree fully. Wonderful, wonderful game. Trained across the country yesterday and ended up sat in final station failing to leave the train as I was so engrossed.
Love it.
