We can personally vouch for its high levels of quality, actually. In terms of fun-to-cents ratio, you're looking at about 16 gazillion wows of entertainment value. Trust us, we did the math.

I really, really hope EA doesn't overlook the mirror's edge IP. I know it wasn't perfect, but I sure had a whole hell of a lot of fun with it. The PC version is the best version, too. For $5, you'd be nuts to skip over this.

Yes, console games with PhysX are far too rare. Havok is so last gen.

You know, I was surprised that Naughty Dog decided to license Havok for Uncharted 2. The PhysX development tools are free for PS3 developers.

I uh... Took advantage of a glitch on the Direct2drive system a while back wherein bundling Mirror's Edge, Dead Space and Mercenaries 2 into the checkout list cut the price to zero (didn't even need credit card details).
Before I'm accused of not supporting the developer, I own the first two on 360 (which is currently fucked over by the RROD).
It may have been wrong of me, but I'm not going to say no to free games directly from EA :P

Lol, I would've done it too, given the chance.
And before any of you say "Pirate!1!!"... You would have done it and you know it.

I think now is the chance I can finally play this game. I'm pretty sure I can run this on my Mac using Crossovers.

It doesn't have to be TOO beefy. This MacBook Pro I'm on just has some mobile 8x00 NVIDIA part in it (8600, I think) and it runs fine at decent settings. Just don't turn on the PhysX unless you have the hardware support for it, or it'll chug like a fratboy.

We all want a good gaming PC.
But we're either cheap, unable, or poor college students, and it's out of our reach...;(

MacBook Pro = $1200 (Who games on Macs anyways?)
I'm having a hard enough time spending $300 on a new PS3...

I feel blessed to be able to downvote people flexing their e-peens on joystiq.

Does anyone know if this supports the DLC they released? The Steam version (unless something has changed) doesn't support it because it didn't use SecuROM, just the Steam DRM. (As I recall)
$5 again might be worth it to legitimately play the abstract maps. Pirating just isn't worth my time.

It doesn't really matter, the DLC is complete shit.

From the Mirror's Edge Pure Time Trials Map Pack page on the EA Store website:
"Note: Currently this map pack only works with the EADM and disk versions of Mirror's Edge. If you have purchased the game through another download service, you may receive an error message during installation that will prevent use with the full game. We apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience that this causes."

Steam had the same deal, if I didn't get it on Steam there's no way I'm gonna get it on Direct2Drive.

Yea, I got it a while back when it was $15. If I hadn't I definitely would have for $5 yesterday.

3rd one after "the witcher" is Need For Speed Shift. "GRID?" is Need For Speed Pro Street.

This game looks glorious on the PC guys. It really gave me restored faith in the Unreal Engine (alongside that pilot mod that still hasn't come out).

The two car ones are both Need for Speed games. The top one (back of the black Nissan GT-R) is from the cover of NFS: ProStreet. The bottom one (white BMW M3) is NFS: Shift. My advice: If you have a wheel, get Shift. If you don't and still really want a NFS game, get ProStreet.
Oh and the C&C ornament is actually the cover of the Red Alert 3: Uprising expansion pack. I wonder if it's just the Xpack or if it's the base game too.
The only other one I recognize that isn't already listed, is the top second from the right. The face of Genghis Khan can only be one game: Civilization 4.
