Rate the Game: Week 103

**M-A-G** · 03-29-2022, 08:06 AM

Week...

...one...

...hundred...

...three.

Man, when you say it like that. That's almost two years. Two years of some of the best games out there, though! Well, sometimes. How about last week's Fallout 3, for instance? Where does it land on the spectrum after our rigorous examinations? Is it one for the vault or does it get tossed to the wasteland?

Man, that is a God damn 11-way tie we're dealing with on that 29th spot now that we've added Fallout 3 to the list. What I'm probably going to end up doing in order to rid ourselves of some of these ties is looking over the polls and using the number of "Haven't played it" votes to break them. So if a game has a high number of people who hadn't played it, it gets ranked lower amongst its group. Just an idea I'm considering. It does say a lot that we're ending up with a lot of games that go well above average, though.

That leads us into this week, our 103rd! Will this week's game rise above average as well? Bowl, I know you got something good cooking for us, I hope....

There we go. Pay no attention to my finger getting in the way of the camera over on the left there. The important thing is what got pulled from the pile! This week's Rate the Game takes a look at the free-running, acrobatic, first-person dystopian adventure, Mirror's Edge! This little scamp tried a bit of a twist on the first-person take with its focus on parkour and hand-to-hand combat in an oppressive world with the character of Faith Connors front and center. How well did it turn out? Too ambitious? Fun as all hell? We've got rating to do, boys and girls. Let's show this week what for and close out the month of March with your opinions on this title. Until next week!
