Mirror's Edge Demo Impressions

I really meant it when I said, "Have a lil Faith". We got a taste of some free runnning after downloading the demo (it's 840MB, btw) and it does have its little ups and downs. (Check out my article on this demo on Brugamers.com )

We love it! Great visuals make up for the frustration and the fluidity of gameplay makes it a superb experience. L1 to jump, and L2 to Slide, who would have thought of that before this? The best fun is when you run without braking. It's absolutely cool but occasional stops to solve puzzles might slow the pace down, but with some combination moves you can get the work done!

It's moments like these that make you go "WARGHHH!!!"

Valkyria Chronicle Anime

We haven't seen the game yet, and already they are planning to animate it. Aniplex's A1 pictures will be producing it, but will it follow the same CANVAS style that the game is known for? Anime fans will be attracted to the variety of colourful characters and its war themed storyline, modelled from World War II. How else are we attracted to it as well?

Selveria Bles: Hot and Cool?

'On the 15th day of the third month of the year 1935, the Empire began its assault in earnest. A formal declaration of war was made upon Gallia.
Though it was only a small front in a massive continental assault, what followed would prove that a tiny nation could best a military giant.
These events would tell a story of tragedy hidden in the mists of time.
A story of courage and of trust, of persecution and hate...
And of love blooming, even through the flames of war.
What follows is a record of this conflict, and of those who fought, lived and died.'

~Irene Koller, "On the Gallian Front"

New Sackboy costumes

New downloadable costumes will be available in the PSN soon. They won't be free though with the exception of the SCEE costume winner, the Sack-eating plant costume (that's to the upper left btw). You may have remembered the reptile and gorilla costume in my last post. But hey ho! Another familliar cameo! We've got Motorstorm in LBP, now you can ride that hardworked ATV with pride!



Penguins and Sharks. Here's something to storm your imagination for you boys and girls! ^^
