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.

In a major announcment that almost nobody in the gaming world covered, Remedy and Poets of the Fall announced on their respective twitter pages that Poets of the Fall’s music will be featured in Remedy’s highly anticipated game Alan Wake.
The band that brought you the smash hit songs “The Late Goodbye” and “Carnival of Rust” will feature at least one song from their upcoming album Twilight Theater. Remedy of course had previously used Poets of the Fall’s first single “The Late Goodbye” in their 2003 smash hit Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne which won the band several awards.
Alan Wake will be released May 18th, 2010 exclusive to the Xbox 360.
What I did when the PS3s Were Busted March 4, 2010

On the first of March, no original style (non-slim) PS3 worked well. This espessially hit hard the people playing Heavy Rain who either were trying to finish the game, or replaying it for further trophies. So what is a guy to do on a day he can’t play any video games?
Well, God of War 3 is coming out in two weeks, and I happened to get one of those Prepaid Rebate Cards yesterday. Rebate companies have not really heard of checks anymore, so we’re basically forced to use these things, which can only be used if you’ve got less than or equal to the total amount. In short, all they’re good for is putting money down for preorders since you can put down exact amounts and not worry about tax, but then you have to destroy them.
My grandmother got my dad this shredder for Christmas this year, and I’ve been waiting to test its credit card shredding capabilities. Watch and enjoy.
