Mirror's Edge leaping to iPhone News • News • Eurogamer.net

News iPhone

Nobody tell Tim.

EA has announced that an iPhone version of Mirror's Edge will land sometime in January 2010.

Judging by the blurb and the first screenshots, the aim is to revive Faith's rooftop-leaping adventure of last year over 14 levels, rather than unravel a brand new story.

Visually EA appears to have done good, delivering a striking primary-colour palette in a 3D, side-scrolling platform world.

The fact EA is pressing on with the release also suggests it's confident in its ongoing trademark dispute with Tim Langdell's Edge Games. EA petitioned in September to have all Langdell's Edge trademarks thrown in the bin.

Edge Games recently denied that it was losing the fight over game-related "Edge" marks.

"Despite rumours to the contrary, Edge Games has either won every dispute in the past 20 years over the mark Edge or has settled amicably with the other party ending the dispute with an agreement in Edge Games' favour," it said.

On contrary, I hope *everyone* tells Tim 'Trademark Troll' Langdell.

If he doesn't cause a fuss because it's EA he buggers up his previous claims based on 'Edge'.

If he does cause a fuss based on 'Edge', he's buggered because it's EA.

Win/Win!

I'm hoping EA have the common sense to complete the lawsuit and invalidate his claims rather than settle simply to get this out the door. Somehow my faith in EA doesn't stretch to them having common sense.....

Unfortunately you will both be sued by me, as all of your creations infringe my 5 trademarks of 'a' 'e' 'i' 'o' 'u' in words relating to computer games. I have not lost a trademark infringment case in the last 500 gazillion years as, A) I sue people from an obscure court in Antarctica and the defendents don't turn up so I win by default or B) They settle for the a sum close to the GDP of a small planet.

So is it coincidence that Bioware / EA starting giving out a new dagger as free DLC to everyone who bought the game before the end of November?

The daggers name? The Edge!

I am going to Trademark the Colon - ":"
All these sequels will just have to rely on simple numbering instead of these "Blah Blah 4: Goats of Doom" trendy names. Same goes for films, Harry Potter and Pirates of the Carribbean - I'm coming after you!

I was going to launch into a tirade about how much I'd like to lock Langdell in a room with all of his previous 'conquests' and a Hostel-style array of agony-inducing implements, then I realised that MiniAmin pretty much summed it all up right from the off.

The one time I hope the conglomerate uses its wealth to hire the best lawyers and hammers the little guy. Also curious to see what the final game will be like.

I'd just like to apologise to all those who have recently trademarked the words "of" and "the". I have just trademarked " " which must exist either side of "of" and "the" to proper qualify them as words in the first place.
