Mirrors Edge
Yay I completed Mirrors Edge!
It got me thinking though - partly about games that alternately make me want to scream for being so bloody hard or get beneath my skin and say 'just one more go I won't kill you this time' but mostly it got me thinking about the concept of the dystopia. Mirrors Edge is unusual in gaming in that it depicts a utopian dystopia, a concept that I find fascinating - it could so easily happen - Imagine a world where there is no real crime, where you can walk the streets freely, where terrorism is a thing of the past and all you have to do is give up your freedom.
Curious non?
