Mirrors edge mappack
Check it out. It's pretty cool, trackmania style.
While I think this can be fun for competitive purposes, I hope it will retain the flow that you would experience in a city-like environment. It should be good though!
It looks like they've been working on it for a while.

MOSCOW, Russia- November 11, 2008 - Leading Eastern and Central European publisher 1C Company and Katauri Interactive today announced development of King's Bounty: Armored Princess. This will be an add-on to the critically acclaimed King's Bounty: The Legend.

As in the multi-award winning game on which this expansion is based, the player has many options to resist these new enemies. Various new skills and characteristics of Amelie as well as her chance to fly will help her overcome the hordes attacking the kingdom. The Princess is also accompanied by a tamed dragon, at the very beginning small and amusing, but its abilities develop steadily until it becomes an incredible ally. He will do his best to protect the Princess during the battles, starting with easy blows and treasure hunting and finishing with battle rage and volcano summoning.
The Add-on will contain the following new features:
New fascinating story-line and a whole new continent to explore
A new female character to play - Princess Amelie
Medals giving bonuses can be received for special achievements
Tamed dragon which becomes more powerful as the player does
New Pangolin race
Possibility to turn your horse into a Pegasus which can fly
Fast travel between opened continents

Resurrection of the classic system of contracts and headhunting
Improved role playing system including more abilities and the chance to achieve level 50 and higher

New unique bosses: Borer Robot, Gremlin, Archdemon Baal and many others
New engine supporting the latest graphic effects
Beautiful, hand drawn environments

Heavy Rain public presentation video !
Here's the public presentation of Heavy Rain for the PlayStation 3 made by its Producer at Micromania Games Show 2008 in Paris.
- In this demo, the player takes the role of a young journalist who is investigating on several girls' disappearances, she goes to a house of a taxidermist who is suspected of killing these women. In this presentation, the Producer of the game shows 2 different ways to finish this demo, there are lots of different ways to get through the story.
- Multiple view camera system, not always behind the girl.
- The demo is fully playable, no cut-scenes, the player can control the girl at any time.
- The Sixaxis motion sensor is used in the game to make different moves (open a window, raise or hit on an object, etc.).
- It is possible to hear what is happening in the mind of the character, so the player knows the different choices that are available.
- No loadings in the game!
- Backgrounds are fully interactive (all objects can be used, all doors can be opened, etc.).
- Very interesting Split Screen System to keep an eye on the murderer, control the character at the same time.
- The player has to maintain several buttons to stay hidden, uncomfortable situation for the player to reproduce the same stress in the game.

First!
So, Darkstar thought it would be a good idea to give me 'collaborator' status on his blog.
I will try to write posts about random things now and then, and we'll see if he will grow to regret his decision.
Maybe if i try to write enough times, I'll actually have more to say than a couple of lines :)
