on Direct2drive, limited time only. For us who dont' like physical media :D Since we post Steam deals, makes sense to post these too (although personally I'm a Steam fan!)

Dead Space:

In a city where information is heavily monitored, agile couriers called Runners transport sensitive data away from prying eyes. In this seemingly utopian paradise, a crime has been committed, your sister has been framed and now you are being hunted.

You are a Runner called Faith - and this innovative first-person action-adventure is your story.

Mirror’s Edge™ delivers you straight into the shoes of this unique heroine as she traverses the vertigo-inducing cityscape, engaging in intense combat and fast paced chases. With a never before seen sense of movement and perspective, you will be drawn into Faith’s world. A world that is visceral, immediate, and very dangerous.

Live or die? Soar or plummet? One thing is certain, in this city you will learn how to run.

From the makers of the groundbreaking Battlefield franchise, Mirror’s Edge is an action-adventure experience unlike any other.

Mirror's Edge Download Features

* Move yourself: String together an amazing arsenal of wall-runs, leaps, vaults and more, in fluid, acrobatic movements that turns every level of the urban environment to your advantage and salvation.
* Immerse yourself: In first person every breath, every collision, every impact is acutely felt. Heights create real vertigo, movements flow naturally, collisions and bullet impacts create genuine fear and adrenaline.
* Challenge yourself: Fight or flight. Your speed and agility allow you not only to evade, capture and perform daring escapes, but also to disable and disarm unwary opponents, in a mix of chase, puzzles, strategy and intense combat.
* Free Yourself: Runner vision allows you to see the city as they do. See the flow. Rooftops become pathways and conduits, opportunities and escape routes. The flow is what keeps you running – what keeps you alive.

not played mirrors edge and only played dead space for about 1 level(seemed pretty good).
would be a superb buy if it was on steam.
 
I've had more than a few issues with the activation limits on Direct2Drive - when you're out of them they pretty much couldn't care less. If you buy a game from there make sure you dont reinstall very often.
 
I got both for £7.50 each. Bargain?

Imagine my surprise, then, that neither games will work. Mirrors Edge crashes periodically when anything other than me running, jumping or climbing occurs. namely, every time a helicopter appears. Not so fun.

Dead Space wont even load. Black Screen on execution. What kind of mickey mouse organisation makes a game the defaults to CRT resolutions in 2009, before the game even loads? An assortment of fixes includes:
Underclocking your CPU
Underclocking your GPU
Reinstalling 8 or 9 times
Going through every Nvidia driver since March 2007
Ending the processes of any and all software/protection on your pc including but not limited to: Firewall, Antivirus, ISO Mounting software, Ventrillo, Steam and others.
Changing the settings.txt that the game reads upon execution
Changing your soundcard
Changing your operating system
Changing your RAM.


Seriously. If it wasnt for that abomination of games known as The Sims, EA would have collapsed and burned a logn time ago. And please, seriously, if there is a god.. please god, rape and murder every member of EA's quality control team. Please. They insult everyone who buys their god awful products.
 
Mirrors Edge worked fine on my laptop. I didn't like it though as I'm playing with a keyboard and mouse. Rather play it on console tbh.
