It seems that parkour inspired games are the in thing, as proven by upcoming titles Totem's and Mirror's Edge:
Totems is an upcoming video game for the Xbox 360 and PC developed by 10Tacle Studios. The game is a 3D platformer where the main character, Gia, a parkour expert, inherits various powers from four different animal totem Spirits. Each spirit will be mapped to a face button on the 360 controller enabling players to pull of parkour moves and attacks very quickly. The game is expected to be released in 2008.

Mirror's Edge is an upcoming first-person action-adventure video game that is being developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows-based PCs. The game will be released on these platforms simultaneously in late 2008.

About three weeks ago, the EmancipatE video library moved to
www.Freerunningtube.magnify.net . Since then, we have been working day and night
to build a comprehensive resource of freerunning videos from around
the globe. There is still alot of work yet to be done, but we are excited
to let you know, we have just created a folder dedicated to freerunning
and parkour from Australia. You can find it at:
http://www.freerunningtube.magnify.net/watch/playlist/C36QFP634B9PJTH6
There is currently a total of 65 videos there, but if you know of a
video that should be included in the list, you can upload or add it to
the freerunningtube database, by pasting it's embed code at the below
address:
http://freerunningtube.magnify.net/publish/
This will send the video straight to the front page, so be sure to
place the word 'Australia' in the title and internal tags, that way
The Puppeteer (who is in charge of the Australian section) can easily
locate it and duplicate a copy to the Australian folder.
Thanks alot and enjoy.
