I can't wait to play Mirror's Edge*. It's coming out this september, and I think I might actually forgo Metallica's new album just to get it. All they've shown so far is just one trailer, but hopefully there'll be more at e3.**

*Yes, I realize that Mirror's Edge is being done by EA for the 360, and the PS3, but since there's no third-party topic, and I'll be getting the 360 version....you see my logic.

**Of course, the only access I have to e3 right now is through G4's website, because only one tv in our house get's G4, so if anyone has any other sources that are covering E3, let me know, cuz I want more than one perspective on it.

Well, you can actually go on youtube and find it on ea's channel.

But yeah, i think it looks awesome. But that might have something to do with the parkour-based gameplay and the fact that I happen to be a traceur......

September just can't come fast enough....

I'm not too worried about school myself, I managed to get into full 100% metal classes

And also, september == Death Magnetic && Mirror's Edge && Mercanaries 2 && (i think) FFIV
