Dice has just announced that the time trial mode in the Mirror's Edge demo, previously available to those who pre-ordered only, is now available to everyone who downloads the demo on both 360 and PS3. To access the mode, simple put in any 16 number code (i.e. 0000-0000-0000-0000) when it is asked for in the time trial menu. No need to re-download the demo either, any code will work in an existing demo as well.

EA has been known to milk series for all they're worth, but things are changing. In EA's effert to change it's image, they released a series of original IPs this year. This has been great for gamers but how has it been for EA? Unfortunately, EA has had lower-than-expected revenue for it's financial year. Speaking at an investors conference call, EA CEO, John Riccitiello discussed this year's original EA titles. Spore sold well for EA and, not surprisingly, Riccitiello believes the title will be a strong on-going franchise. The 'MySims' games will most likely be an on-going franchise as well. Even with World of Warcraft looming over it, Riccitiello believes Warhammer will continue to do well for them for multiple years. What's his opinion of Dead Space? He gives it a thumbs up and says the series looks to be a big winner. Finally, there is Mirror's Edge. Mirror's Edge did not sell as well as EA would have liked. Riccitiello, despite it's sales...

Got this note in my inbox today from the Mirror's Edge site, it is a wanted poster for the game's main character Faith. It looks as if DICE and EA are beginning the advertising push to Mirror's Edge's launch next month. It is good to see, this game has not received a ton of attention among the many AAA titles coming over the next weeks. If you have not seen/heard much on the game head over to our Mirror's Edge FAQ for more information and video links.

A new trailer has been released for Mirror's Edge showing how Faith gained her skills. Enjoy! Mirror's Edge 'Training' trailer HD

Mirror's Edge may be one of the most interesting games coming out this year on a conceptual basis. Whether it works as a whole is yet to be seen with the launch coming in less than a month. Senior Producer Owen O'Brien seems to think the game will do very well, in fact he has just announced that Mirror's Edge is set to be a trilogy. AusGamers has the interview, with this quote: "The story we're telling at the moment is kind of a trilogy, a three-story arc," stated O'Brien, "certainly for these first couple games, it's all about Faith." Also mentioned was the possibility of a level editor coming in the sequel: "It's something we're probably going to look at for the sequel." For now, we will just have to wait and see how the first game measures up this November.

GameStop has spilled the beans again, while we are not sure whether it was intentional or not this time. On the Mirror's Edge page they have listed, under "Bonus Offer" that the Mirror's Edge demo will be available November 6th. This should give people a week to decide if they like the game enough to warrant a purchase or not. All in all, Mirror's Edge is stacking up very nice, it will be good to get an early hands-on. Those who pre-order the game will get a card to unlock the time trial mode in this demo as well. Mirror's Edge launches on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11th in the United States, November 13th in Europe. The PC version has been delayed until later this winter.

DICE has just announced that a Remix album will be available via digital download along side Mirror's Edge on November 11th. The album contains the main theme "Still Alive" from Swedish rock/pop star Lisa Miskovsky along with remixes of some of the top stars including Benny Benassi, Paul van Dyk, Junkie XL, Teddybears, and Armand Van Helden. “A groundbreaking videogame demands an equally provocative theme song,” said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing for EA. “We’ve taken an unprecedented approach to this track, bringing together several of the world’s top remixers to create an album that will not only cross genres and borders, but also redefine how great new music can be delivered to the world.” The complete track listing for the Mirror’s Edge Remix ALBUM is as follows: ARTIST SONG Lisa Miskovsky Still Alive – Mirror’s Edge Theme Song Benny Benassi Still Alive – Remix Junkie XL Still Alive – Remix Paul van Dyk Still Alive – Remix Teddybears Still Al...

Collector's Editions these days have just spun out of control. While I love the goodies, the prices that marketers think we should pay is up there. Nonetheless, I bring you the $130 Mirror's Edge Collector's Edition that comes with a very cool messenger bag along with the 360 version of the game. Sure you get a bag when you pre-order the game at GameStop, but this one is much cooler.
