How many times have we complained about hackneyed plots and the same old thing over and over again? I've lost count. Mirror's Edge should be applauded for daring to attempt something different, for trying to set itself targets that aim higher than others would aim. Instead we get people moaning about how it's the same old thing. Open your eyes, really it's not. This one of the three games I have high hopes for this year and all for different reasons, this for daring to be different, POP for reinvigorating a franchise and LBP for allowing me to create zombie death carnivals if I so choose. I'm staggered at how much we are spoilt by the richness and variety of games, not only those just past, but the tidal wave yet to hit on <i>all</i> the consoles. I've never understood this negativity when it comes to gaming. We've never had it so good. And as for the fags comment, jaysus wept, it's stuff like that which gives the rest of us a bad name. And that's even before we get to the fact that it's offensive to people who may be reading this or are a part of this community. Idiot.

No-one comments about a male developer looking ugly etc. :)
