Mirror’s Edge

Mirror’s Edge is a first person shooter with a physics and movement engine modeled after parkour. It will apparently make you vomit, or at least pretty queasy, by “hacking” your proprioception:

When you run, you see your hands pumping up and down in front of you. When you jump, your feet briefly jut up into eyeshot — precisely as they do when you’re vaulting over a hurdle in real life. And when you tuck down into a somersault, you’re looking at your thighs as the world spins around you.

    That girl standing on that crane really has no sense at all. People standing on cranes!

    I mean, really.

    There is an ad for this game in heavy rotation, and I have to admit, the opening image catches me every time. Not bad editing, that.
