What's with live-action commercials for video games lately? The recent Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2 ads from Japan were weird (to say the least), but at least this one for Mirror's Edge is quite a keeper. Yeah, they got the essence of freerunning, all right - it's just that...

Too bad they made Faith male in this commercial though. Aww, shucks. Fancy a boob job there, mate?

The Time Trial mode is one of the most popular gameplay modes in Mirror's Edge (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) and game developer DICE knows it. That's why they've announced a new Time Trial DLC map pack for the game.

When Mirror's Edge (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) producer Tom Farrer and his team created Faith, he wanted her to have the exact look that she has now: physicaly fit, attractive, but not a supermodel, and most importantly, real. But a gamer on a Korean message board thought otherwise, giving Faith a boob job and a new face. Read up on what Farrer has to say about the "sexed-up" pictures of his roof-jumping heroine.

How did DICE manage to so successfully set their game apart from the competition? Mirror's Edge (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) producer Tom Farrer guides us through the process during a recent interview.

A few weeks ago, Sony was asked what they thought about Microsoft's new tactic of bagging exclusive DLC, and they mysteriously said that "nothing is ever exclusive." I doubt this is what they meant, though. Turns out that the touted PS3 exclusive DLC for Mirror's Edge isn't so exclusive after all. Details after the link.

Oh, as if the prospect of finally getting Mirror's Edge in just a few more days weren't good news enough, we now hear that the PS3-exclusive DLC hitting the game has been dated! And it's not all too long a wait either. All it takes now is a little ounce of Faith, and we're ready to go!

Are you one of those people still not sold on the idea of a freerunning game like Mirror's Edge (PS3 and Xbox 360, PC) being made from a first person perspective? Nick Channon expounds further on why they decided to give you access to Faith's world through her own eyes. Read up on what he has to say about the matter at the full article.

A timely announcement for Mirror's Edge: the game has finally gone gold for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Both versions are getting a retail release on November 13. If you live in the UK, you might want to pre-order too: don't let those Mirror's Edge freebies go to waste!

In an interview, EA's Manual Llanes has revealed that for the average player, Mirror's Edge is about 12 hours long. So that's 12 hours of trying not to throw up.

When you're up against challenging tasks to earn your Achievements and Trophies, it's good to have faith. Good thing in Mirror's Edge (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) you're only gonna need one Faith. See what's in store for you after the jump.
