Combining classic platforming gameplay and a first-person perspective could have been a recipe for a vomit-inducing game. Thankfully, "Mirror's Edge's" cool minimalist style, smooth parkour-inspired flow, and emphasis on avoiding the use of firearms make this one of the most refreshing games of the year. When the whole world is a giant jungle gym and you have to use your puzzle-solving skills to get from one building to another while being chased by an Orwellian police force, you know you are in for a unique experience.
