Mirror's Edge players with a taste for Brutalism should bookmark VHOLUME, the new parkour game from a Babbdi dev

Last year, myself, Brendy and Graham got fearfully excited about Straftat, a bountiful free 1v1 FPS with map designs calibrated to nostalgiafuck anybody who ever played Quake over an LAN or hoarded shareware CDs.
