For those who have heard of parkour and have become extreme fans of it, and also hold a love for video games this right up your ally. The brand new EA creation "Mirrors Edge" connects first person action to the world of parkour in this title based in a futuristic setting. The basis of the story revolves around a women named "Faith" who has to uses her skills to relay messages for a group, obviously on the wrong side of the law which is were the action comes into play. Since this title has not yet hit the stores I can't currently give my feedback on this game but it is highly anticpated and i wish this title the best of luck and, it hits stores november 11th.Thursday, November 6, 2008

It's ironic you put this up today, because just last night I was watching parkour (free running/russian climbing) videos, and this evening I had a conversation with my friend Daniel about it.
Personally, I love parkour. It's really physical and takes a lot of guts and practice. I think a parkour game will fail though. To me it just doesn't seem like anything you can really make a game off of. Parkour is more than just sticking your arm out. You can't push a button to go where ever you want. I just don't think it will work...
Ehh...I feel very partial with the idea of a parkour game. Not only does it seem to be a "Sandbox Game" (Never ending), but it also seems to be a waste of money. I could just as easily watch videos of REAL people doing parkour rather than watch a 2D Asian woman jump from geometric shapes onto a scamed S.W.A.T. officer. It seems like a flawed idea for a game. Now if they had a game in which parkour was a skill, THEN it would be a success. i.e. games like Assasins Creed.
