Platforms:
In Brink, two factions, "Resistance" and "Security", fight in the previously utopian city known as The Ark, a floating city surrounded by the waters of a flooded Earth.[1] The Ark was designed as a prototype of a perfect city, with renewable resources and no pollution, large enough to support 5,000 residents. However, due to many refugees entering the city from other parts of the world, its population has grown to over 50,000, meaning there are not enough resources to go around - resulting in the city being on the brink (hence the name of the game) of a civil war.

Brink=Mirror’s Edge+Team Fortress+Mad Max Fashion show?

Splash Damage’s Brink certainly looks fun, if not wholly original. This new trailer demonstrates some of the things you can do to your enemies besides shoot them, so check it out:

There’s something I want to get out of the way. Yes, the game does seem to play a lot like Team Fortress. The available character classes are soldier, medic, engineer and operative (spy), and the focus of the experience seems to be objective-based multiplayer. However, in addition to the Mirror’s Edge/Crysis 2 sliding and jumping mechanics (dubbed the SMART system), the official Brink site says:

“Choose to fight through two complete story campaigns as either a member of the Resistance or Security. Experience these campaigns solo, co-operatively, or competively – it’s your choice.”

So there you have it: You can play offline and by yourself if you so wish. Obviously, the most fun to be had with this title will be online though, where the 8 vs. 8 matches of crazy looking customizable characters are going to be chucking Molotov cocktails and sticky bombs at one another. So are you excited to jump into Brink?

This game is scheduled to release on May 17, 2011 for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

    Looks good, although exploding Molotovs are weird.
