Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror
Platform: PSP
Manufacturer: SCEA
Review Type: Touchy
Version: Demo Disc
Gabe Logan, the gravelly voiced operative of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, is one of those one-man army types. Only, he doesn't really work alone. He's got two chicks that help him out. Lian, Logan's ground support, looks awfully young and cute to be a super-secret agent. At first glance I sorta pegged her for UCLA communications major. But what do I know about black goverment ops? Anyway, the demo disc follows Gabe and company on a mission to stop a para-military group from destroying an oil refinery on the Alaskan pipeline. How this group discovered the plant's secret "blow up" switch is a mystery. It's Logan's job to go in, kill the bastards and flick the switch back to the "don't blow up" setting.
Besides being painfully self-serious there's very little to bitch about in this workman-like demo disc's two levels. You point your gun, pull the trigger and your foul-mouthed enemies die in a dramatic display of rag doll physics. I say foul-mouthed because on several occasions the pinko refinery haters called Lian a "bitch." How'd they know that Lian was Tri-Delt? The mystery deepens.
Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is due in March 2006

This series isn't dead yet?
I'm betting that Splinter Cell and Ghost Recon fans play this as a holdover.
