Eidos
and Core Design have released the first trailer
for Free Running, a forthcoming video-game for
Sony PSP based around the urban sport of Parkour.
Parkour, the art of movement, is less a sport
and more a way of life. Its participants, known
as Free Runners or Traceurs, view the environment
and its obstacles, urban or natural, as a series
of challenges to be overcome.
To the
Traceurs, Parkour has a philosophical appeal:
they feel transformed by the experience, free
from the grind of city life. Since its inception
in Paris during the mid-1980s, it has spread across
the globe and now has an international army of
exponents and enthusiasts. Follow the hyperlink
