Gonna grab. Unrelated note: Years ago in Jr. High I listed Digipen as the college I wanted to attend.

Looks like a mix between sonic and marble blast, pretty as fuck but it's PC only.

Mirror's Edge was the most original FPS I've played since Half-Life 2

Anthony Burch is like a games writer, but without any integrity.

Jeez, for being Digipen students, you'd think they get a better webpage ;)

I remember playing this back when you first wrote about it, and I really enjoyed it. Glad to see the follow-up.

"Indie platformer Igneous is like Mirror's Edge, but with horrible graphics."

That sums it up pretty well.

One of the people who worked on this taught me some C# this summer, he's a pretty cool guy.

Mirror's Edge was good, you just suck at games. ;D

Oh, it was the premium download button. The regular download button seems fine so far.

More indie shit

The headline is fucking retarded. Yes, they're both focused on getting momentum and maintaining it, but Mirror's Edge did a fuck ton more than just "move forward, turn sometimes, and jump when necessary".

That being said, this was still a very fun distraction. That's what it is, though, a distraction. Because I wasn't expecting anything more than that, it was a blast to play through.

Headline FAIL. ME was great, had its shortcomings but it was a fun and very pretty game.

I'm sure Igneous is a solid game, but was it really necessary to slam Mirror's Edge in the title?

Mirror's Edge is a fine game. Sure it had flaws, but it was new and different and, along with other titles, proved EA was serious in its dedication to crafting new IP. Just because a few design students didn't make the game in a dimly-lit basement doesn't make the game less enjoyable. Attacking Mirror's Edge just takes attention away from the true intent of the article.

Besides, Sterling does a fine enough job of intentionally pissing off the readership without your help, Anthony.

Damn everyone, cover up your hard-ons for Mirror's Edge.

Fair play to me, I gave it ago ..but for one thing the Mirror's Edge comparison was just silly and secondly I'm going back to Borderlands now as I only stopped for a break.

Break over.

Or, Anthony, they just have different opinions.

That said, it just finished installing on my laptop, so I'll give it a shot.

What's funny is that all these people are defending Mirrors Edge now, but I don't remember hearing from them when it came out and the entire internet was putting it down because that's what all the cool kids are doing.

Over exaggeration about how bad a game is seems to be the hip new thing to do now, mostly because of a certain behatted fast speaking games critic's rise to popularity.

Mirror's Edge wasn't the greatest game ever, it was mediocre and a bit short, but to wage some sort of spiteful campaign against it for not being what you thing it "could have been" is stupid. Obfuscated? Really? Which of the brightly incandescent red objects that tell you where you're supposed to go did you miss? I'd rebuke the rest of your points, but ultimately just as you're accusing people of supporting a version of the game they wish EA had made you're criticizing a game for what "it could have been". I could just as well start saying Half Life 2 sucked because it didn't make me believe I was actually in the world of City 17 while the game sucked me off as it baked my entire family cakes.

Fuck up Anthony, Mirror's Edge was good gameplay wise. The story was shit though, but at least the voice acting was decent.

That wasn't like Mirrors Edge at all, it wasn't even in first person. It was ok.. I mean it was really pretty for having been done from scratch. But the Mirrors Edge comparison had me hyped for so much more :c

I'll try it fuck year.

Wow, it was really good.

I really liked Mirror's Edge too.
I'm trying this now and it's not doing it for me. On it's own, it's a little on the dull side. If we're going to be comparing it to Mirror's Edge, it's very dull.

@ Askherserenity: There's no sense in trying to get Burch to see the light in things. If it's backed by a big company and not made by some guy in his mom's basement, it sucks. Anthony Burch is a video game Hippie and AAA titles are his Death Metal.

Okay what the hell!?! the megaupload download link led me to one of those fake virus scan sites and I might of gotten a virus from it.
