Quick Impressions of the Mirror's Edge Remixes



I still want to get Mirror's Edge (likely next month with Left 4 Dead) as I'm still on the fence. I loved the demo and the fact the core gameplay concept worked, but I might as well rent it since it is a short game.

Anyway, I downloaded the soundtrack of remixes for the theme song "Still Alive" and I enjoyed listening to them. Of course, you have to like the original song and that is good enough, but some of the remixes are pretty good too. My personal favorite is the Junkie XL Remix and I'm also a fan of that artist too, but the Armand Van Helden Remix (featured in the launch trailer above, Teddybears Mix featured in the IGN montage below) is a close second right now.

One More Console Exclusive Character in SF IV


I guess Capcom has one more console exclusive character to reveal (as if Dan, Cammy, Fei Long, and Gen are enough) according to the Shoryuken forums. Another Alpha character will join the roster of 25 which is Rose. So now we're at five ladies, which is good enough, but of course fans still want 3rd Strike characters and I can't blame them. With so many console exclusive characters, I think they need to be added in the arcade versions eventually via a code update (like Akuma and Gouken). Of course, this is not really official yet by Capcom themselves, but it seems likely now.
