EA’s ambitious and innovative roll-of-the dice with Mirror’s Edge<\/em> paid off, despite being rather brief.<\/p>\n The free-running game proved that first-person platforming can be fluid, effective and incredibly fun.<\/p>\n The colourful yet minimalist world is gorgeous to look at, and although it left us wanting more, there’s multiple ways to finish each level, giving the game a lot of replayability. And there are always those time trial levels.<\/p>\n We look forward to seeing how the sequel expands on the world and gameplay of Mirror’s Edge<\/em>.<\/p>\n Mirror’s Edge<\/p><\/div>\n Easily the most beautiful game on the PlayStation 4 (so far at least), The Order: 1886<\/em> is a breathtaking technical marvel from developer Ready at Dawn.<\/p>\n It’s short, very short, but given the impeccable level of detail, it’s understandable.<\/p>\n The Order<\/em> not only features spectacular visuals, but it also has some fun gunplay, unique weapons and an interesting story. It’s definitely worth a playthrough if you can find a good deal.<\/p>\n The Order: 1886<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018Overkill\u2019 couldn\u2019t be a more suitable subtitle for SEGA\u2019s Wii-exclusive House of the Dead<\/em> title.<\/p>\n Not only is its gore and violence over-the-top, its swearing, guns, dialogue, story and just about everything else is beyond any doubt an overkill.<\/p>\n Designed as an on-rails shooter using the Wii\u2019s motion controllers, it\u2019s a surprising game for the platform, but it\u2019s also an adrenaline, laughter and gore fueled romp featuring a ton of crazy zombies, and you can\u2019t go wrong with that.<\/p>\n It’s over before you’d want the fat zombie-lady to sing, but it’s one hell of a ride while it’s going.<\/p>\n House of the Dead: Overkill<\/p><\/div>\n In Platinum Games’ Vanquish<\/em>, you play as a super soldier on rocket-powered roller skates that moves from cover to cover at fantastic speed<\/p>\n If that means the chapters are shorter, so be it, as its easy to forgive a game that allows you to run at 200kph and punch robots in the face.<\/p>\n Vanquish<\/em> takes high-intensity action to a new level for an\u00a0adrenaline-fueled romp that comes in at about 7 hours, and you’ll need to take a breath once you’re done.<\/p>\n Vanquish<\/p><\/div>\n Portal<\/em> was created as somewhat of a side-game to Half-Life 2: Episode 1<\/em>, as the game came bundled in the beloved Orange Box, but Valve had no idea the cult status that the game would reach.<\/p>\n Portal<\/em> tasks players to\u00a0navigate through a series of rooms using the Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device, or portal gun, to overcome obstacles and difficult puzzles.<\/p>\n It’s ingenuous, challenging, charming and simple, and even though you’ll wrap it up in a few hours (depending on your problem solving skills), there’s always Portal 2<\/em> to take on next.<\/p>\n And don’t forget that Steam’s modding community have created a huge assortment of additional levels and challenges to take on.<\/p>\n Portal<\/p><\/div>\n Have we missed anything? Let us know.<\/p>\n Games that are and aren\u2019t compatible with Windows 10 thus far<\/a><\/p>\n Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for PC is more than just a port<\/a><\/p>\n![\"Mirror's](\"http:\/\/www.menstuff.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Mirrors-Edge.jpg\")
