Mirrors Edge iPhone coming in April March 4, 2010

2008 was a huge year in video games, espessially sequels, but there were a lot of original games that were also released that year that might’ve gotten overlooked by the mainstream media.  One of those games was Mirror’s Edge for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3.  I was able to play through the game on PS3 several months ago and I thought it was a great game indeed.

So of course my interest was peaked when at the beginning of December 2009, EA Mobile announced Mirror’s Edge for the iPhone and released an announcement trailer that came followed with a too good to be true January 2010 release date.  It was.  In early January EA quietly announced (and only IGN.com’s wireless site picked it up) that the game had been delayed and would not see a release that month so further content could be added to the game.  I of course didn’t find this until shortly towards the end of January when I started losing hope the game would see a release that month. 

After the delay announcement for two more months EA Mobile would be silent about the game’s progress until yesterday when press releases started coming out again.  Currently only the press has seen the latest version of the game, and they are currently bound to silence, but they did announce a new release date.  April.

Mirror’s Edge was a great overlooked gem of a game.  iPhone owners, I’ll keep you informed of news on this one.

Here’s a trailer that was released with the game’s announcment back in December.  This was released when the game was on track for January release so the trailer’s content might not be a tell of what the final game looks like, but it’s interesting never the less.  The iPhone really impresses graphicswise.
