A friend pointed out to me similarities between “Mirror’s Edge” and “Portal”.

Both games have a main story mode made up of chapters. In each chapter, you solve a puzzle by using game mechanics to reach a goal surmounting a series of obstacles.

Both games have a mode that remembers your best time for traversing a course and lets you try again to beat that time.

Both have a catchy song titled “Still Alive”.

The first two just seemed like simple coincidence, but the third surprised me. I had somehow completely overlooked the song title.

Argh… I want this game so bad… But Banjo and Gears made me so broke.
I hope I get this for Christmas.

SoMP, I don’t feel like I know your gaming preferences well enough to accurately say. Generally speaking, I would recommend a rental as campaign is short and you may get your fill of time trial mode in the typical five days allotment.

Knowing me, is this a buy or a rent?

We are in 100% agreement angel, I detest having to engage enemies, it really bugs me when I get a face full of shotgun after I let loose a flying kick to the groin.

But the time trials are indeed addictive…I believe I have beaten your high score on the first one though. ;)
