SamehNBeans of GameTrailers (linked above) has shared some scans of the Official PlayStation Magazine's review of Mirror's Edge... and its looking good!
They have awarded the title a score of 9/10, and claim that the "bottom line is you've never played anything like Mirror's Edge. It's a genuine original."
In related news, Forum users zoned and asandhu seem to already be in agreement with many more likely to come.
To quote: EVERYBODY should get the mirrors edge demo now!! its amazing and not that short. its actually two levels and the graphics are stunning. It gets pretty intense in the second level when the cops chase you. im gonna get this game just from playing that demo. VERY unique, yet simple.

It's a sobering thought that when the original The Need For Speed came out in 1994 - on the ill-fated 3DO, no less - the original PlayStation wasn't even on shop shelves. The series is now over 14 years old, which makes it one of the oldest racing franchises that's still active today; Only Mario Kart and Ridge Racer are longer in the tooth.
Over the course of the past decade the Need For Speeds have adopted several different styles and forms, but they reached a new level of popularity after the release of Need For Speed Underground. The sequel introduced a free-roaming element and the series never looked back, making its debut on the current crop of consoles with Most Wanted.
It is to these instalments, prior to the disappointing ProStreet, that Undercover harks back, with a strong emphasis on criminal goings-on and baiting the police in the manner of the borderline motor-porn that is The Fast and the Furious.
EA has released the first proper details on Need for Speed: Undercover, which'll no doubt sit somewhere near the top of this Christmas's sales chart.
After the disappointing Pro Street, Undercover takes the NFS series "back to its roots" says EA, with high-speed pursuits with rivals while dodging the old blues 'n twos to take down an International crime syndicate. All whilst undercover, obviously.
There's 80 miles of road to explore in the open-world Tri-City Bay area, says EA, and a totally new AI mechanic which delivers "aggressive and intelligent cops whose sole purpose is to take down the player quickly and by any means necessary."
The new game also introduces an all-new 'Heroic Driving Engine', a unique technology that generates "incredible high-performance moves at 180 miles per hour". We've no idea what this means.
Of course you can also expect tons of car customization, vehicle damage and licensed motors such as the Audi R8, B... More »

We know you enjoy seeing what everyone else is watching, here are our top 20 movie and TV downloads for the week – Drillbit Taylor moves into the top spot:
The European PlayStation 3 Support site contains a list of games that have DualShock 3 compatibility. In this list, we found a few games that bring up our interests:
Does this confirm that games such as Battle Fantasia and Eternal Sonata are at least coming to Europe (and hopefully the US)? There are some interesting unannounced games in there as well.
Stephen Attard, 18, was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery after police say he and a group of teenagers went on a crime spree in Nassau County.
Teenagers who police say went on a video-game-inspired late-night crime spree were arraigned Thursday after police say they mugged a man outside a New Hyde Park supermarket and menaced motorists in Garden City with a baseball bat, a crowbar and a broomstick.
The teens told detectives they were imitating the Grand Theft Auto video game series where players steal cars, beat up other characters and score points for committing crimes.
Police have identified at least three victims: a man they said was severely beaten and had his teeth knocked out during a robbery; a would-be carjacking victim who called 911; and a driver whose van was smashed with a bat.
