The Shard

Any Parkour fans in? Great. Because this game is meant to be played by all guys out there that want to have

more dramatic and intense parkour experience as well as for anyone else who just likes the idea of new good

alt-gaming experiences. This game takes place in a quasi-futuristic dystopian society which is military controlled.

A group of so called ‘runners’ are acting as couriers to transmit messages. The main character is named symbolically Faith and

many main things are up to her. As you might have already guessed, this is Mirror’s Edge. This game gives you a good

gaming experience alongside with very deep and subtle story behind all that running around and delivering messages

and retrieving data. The story has its ups and downs and a beautiful ending as a wanted result after all the levels of

danger have been passed. This year we have the new game called Mirror’s Edge Catalyst that again takes place in the

quasi-futuristic dystopian society called Glass, which is again, a symbolic name, where 13 major private corporations

are in control such as Pirandello Kruger and people like Robert Pope. But not to stress this one too much because the

game is very new and fresh and any further detailing would spoil the adventure and ruin the pleasure and the factor of

surprise. Both games are by EA DICE Entertainment and are first-person but, to more realistic level where you can see

your arms well, your torso and feet and maybe, just maybe, that is what gives the game one more realistic and exciting

experience while dweling around the city doing parkour and your job as well. The interesting thing about Mirror’s Edge

is that it is based on just a few solid colours: white (most obviously), red (same), blue, green, orange, black, all other

colours maybe exist but the’re just that much minor that we don’t notice as we do the above mentioned and this is too,

some kind of symbolism in that particular action of the producers and developers, that simply gives us the monotonous

picture of that dystopian society in a more subtle way.
