Mirrors Edge For the PS3 Game Review

Mirrors Edge has a fair amount of innovativeness. The perspective is first person and the visual style is clean and crisp. This is a modern day iteration of an old time game. Mirrors Edge needs speed. When you can synchronize your play you become a true master of the game. There is a deep thrill in playing Mirrors Edge.

The game’s protagonist is Faith. The setting is a fictitious oppressed society. In this society are a number of runners, who courier important documents. Faith is a runner. Faith’s sister is a cop who is charged with the murder of a mayoral candidate. Now Faith must clear her sister’s name and uncover the conspiracy behind the murder.

As you run across rooftops, through train stations and along walls, your coordination and speed increases. You get immersed in the action and the game is enjoyable on the whole. There are a number of tools that are interesting and helpful like Runner vision. There are armed enemies and the best thing to do is run past them.

The visuals are great and so is the audio. This game comes recommended for $59.99.

Valkyria Chronicles for The PS3 Game Review

If you are a PS3 owner who has been thirsting for a big RPG, then maybe the Valkyria Chronicles may quench your thirst. This visual treat features pretty watercolor graphics as well as gameplay that will leave you satiated. The battle system is turn based and is dubbed “blitz”. Sega Game Studios, Japan developed the new CANVAS engine in Japan.

The story setting is like 1935 Europe, but fictional. Warring superpowers are after a resource called ragnite that is found in Gallia and this is what the story centers around. Welkin and Alicia are two of the main characters and the story revolves around them. It is similar to tactical RPG’s but different in that you can roam the area and are not limited to the chessboard style movements.

The battles can be challenging, however the levels can be finished in just a couple of turns. The battles involve tanks and multiple enemy units. The units involved in the fighting are tanks, scouts, snipers, stormtroopers, lancers and engineers. Every type of unit has special abilities.

This is one RPG that PS3 owners should not miss.
