Electronic Arts has reflected on the ups and downs of 2008, realizing that, like the movie industry, not every single title needs to ship right before the holidays. You know, like every other game does. Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, EA Redwood Shores GM Glen Schofield says that the company may be m...

Electronic Arts has been on a roll lately, churning out quite a selection of new and innovative titles over the past year. Sure it cost them, but building a new franchise isn't cheap and at least some of their investments look like they will be paying off in the long run. But what about the new titl...

It wasn't all bad news and leaky product announcements during yesterday's EA conference call. Some good came of it. Like positive sales figures for some of EA's riskier titles. Like Left 4 Dead, whose physical copies EA published, and which went on to sell 1.8 million copies. Or Rock Band 2, which s...

This guy Patrick emailed us to say he got a tattoo like Faith's from Mirror's Edge. Immediately I thought of her eye sunburst and figured he's gonna look like Mike Tyson. Nope. Much, much cooler. Writes Patrick: "Faith's tattoo design struck me when I watched the E3 2008 trailer, and I knew I wanted...

Yes. This. Again. We posted a fan-made reworking of Mirror's Edge protagonist, Faith. The character was designed by Westerners, and the fan-made image was not. There were obvious differences in aesthetics. Japanese game site Game*Spark has covered the controversy, pointing out that the Kotaku commen...

As we approached the holiday gaming flood, Mirror’s Edge was on my “it has potential” list as opposed to my “must buy” list. After getting my hands on the demo a couple weeks prior to its release, that changed. But with so many games just out, and still a handful of big...

newVideoPlayer("/Miredge.flv", 506, 423,""); For a game I hadn't really spent much time with, Mirror's Edge sure has blossomed in my thoughts lately. My first thoughts, when I saw this trailer last month was that I wished that the actual game looked like this and that it wasn't just an animated teas...

Yes! We have all seen this before. But here it is again — with details like "birds" pointed out. Thank goodness, because we really missed those damn birds the first time around. Faith Is A Vampire [Rock, Paper, Shotgun]...
