You may then be wondering why I have a whole blog post dedicated to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mirrors-Edge-Xbox-360\/dp\/B00149PCAO\/?tag=krunk4everblog-20\">Mirror&#8217;s Edge<\/a>. The main reason is because it ties in with a couple things I wanted to blog about but doesn&#8217;t deserve their own post at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I got the demo a few weeks back and it was extremely fun. As one of <a href=\"http:\/\/cad-comic.com\/sillies.php?d=20081105\">CAD&#8217;s sillies<\/a> state: &#8220;<em>I have never felt this much like an acrobatic asian chick in my entire life.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the same lines, Penny Arcade also made a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penny-arcade.com\/comic\/2008\/11\/3\/\">comic strip about Mirror&#8217;s Edge<\/a>, but I didn&#8217;t really have much problems with the headaches, given that I&#8217;m pretty sure I&#8217;m quite susceptible to 3D motion sickness. For example, I was playing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Call-Duty-Modern-Warfare-Xbox-360\/dp\/B0016B28Y8\/?tag=krunk4everblog-20\">Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare<\/a> on Saturday and after just 2 missions (~30 mins or so), I felt a slight headache and had to stop playing. It could be that the demo was short and it didn&#8217;t have to time to get to me yet, but even with COD4, I was pretty sure I&#8217;d get a headache within minutes of playing the game, which I didn&#8217;t really get with Mirror&#8217;s Edge.<\/p>\n<p>I was planning on getting it for the Xbox 360, but it looks like it&#8217;s going to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Mirrors-Edge-Pc\/dp\/B00198ZHC8\/?tag=krunk4everblog-20\">come out on the PC in January<\/a>, so I might pick it up then. PC games are usually cheaper to get and I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m willing to drop $50 on it quite yet, given that I heard it&#8217;s a rather short game.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, have you seen the trailer?

I personally think the song&#8217;s amazing, especially with the piano keys, which for some reason makes me think it has some Asian background. I wonder if that has to do with the fact the main character you play as is Asian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t actually own the game yet, but I&#8217;ve played the demo and I found it to be a lot of fun.
