Once you've beaten Mirror's Edge it's only natural to want to check out the Time Trials and Speedruns. While the skills you learned playing the game should get you through each Time Trial smoothly enough, obtaining a three-star rating can be quite a challenge for all but the most dedicated gamer!

That's where the audiogamer's Time Trial Tutorial comes in. Simply cue up this audio file, load up your copy of Mirror's Edge, and let me walk you through a smooth, easy-to-learn path that will ensure you a three star rating on 'Playground 1', the first of the game's Time Trials.

Impress your friends! Humiliate your nieghbours! Remind all that live who is the ruler of all that is, was, or ever shall be!

Just don't let anyone know you've got the Audiogamer to thank.

Wink.

This week's topics include:

• Impressions/reviews of the New Xbox Experience and A Kingdom for Keflings
• Listener Q&A:
1. Why do critics compete to give a game the highest possible score?
2. How has the Wii changed the landscape for gamers?
3. Why are videogames still regarded as children's games when gamers have gotten older and games more sophisticated?
4. Can a bad game be good, either in the sense that its development resulted in positives for gaming as a whole, or in the sense that its fundamental badness was a "quality" unto itself?
5. Do you prefer a game to do only one thing for its duration or that it aim to do everything in small amounts?
6. Do you guys have the same problem as me with playing single player games in that they feel terribly lonely?
