mirror's edge catalyst video game

I’ve tried parkour.  Once. Hurdled a parking block, ran up some stairs, got up on a wrought iron fence and…nope, done.  Ain’t going over that fence. My first and last parkour experience.

Battlefield 1 video game

Is it a surprise that Battlefield 1 is pummeling Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare in the battle for trailer love?  Not only pummeling, they’ve achieved total supremacy.
