Last weekend I downloaded the Mirror’s Edge demo for my PS3 and spent a bit of time playing. The game is very cool and fun. You are a free runner that moves atop the buildings in a massive city delivering messages.

To get from one place to the other you have to run, jump, and fight your way there across rooftops. The game has a very cool premise and offers very original gameplay. EA announced this week that it has shipped Mirror’s Edge to retailers worldwide.

The game will be available for the holiday season on the PS3 and Xbox 360. PC gamers will get their version in January. I never understand why they won’t release the PC version at the same time. I guess they are hoping the game will drive console sales. This will be one of the coolest games this holiday season.
