Tribase Studios' first-person running game, Requiem [$1.99], should be better. In a recent update, the studio added some graphical and optimization tweaks for users with third-gen devices, bug fixes, and has also re-worked tutorial for the iPad version. The cost? Free!

We gave the game a go after it generated a decent amount of buzz on our message board. It's like a stripped down, more tightly constructed Mirror's Edge. Taking place in a boy's dream, you're charged with running from a giant thug, all the while barreling through an environment filled with objects you need to jump, crouch, crawl, or spin away from. The perspective is a welcome touch in a market increasingly cluttered with uninspired hallway or military shooters. The visual direction is pretty radical, too, just like DICE's first-person runner.

Man, all this really reminds me that Mirror's Edge 2 needs to actually happen.
