Brink

Brink is a first-person shooter video game from the Bethesda Softworks company, developed in conjunction with Splash Damage and Valve Corporation. Available for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles in addition to the PC platform via Windows Vista or XP operating systems, this game takes place in a post-apocalyptic society and features a parkour-style motion engine for continuous player navigation.

Gamers can choose to play within one of four different character classes, including "The Soldier", "The Medic", "The Engineer" and "The Operative". Each class involves a specific set of duties and functions, and is built around gaining experience points to customize characters and purchase performance-enhancing items. Utilizing the Splash Damage SMART (Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain) system, players have access to a highly-intuitive gameplay environment that uses predictive locational technology to anticipate and prepare for their future actions. Context-sensitive mission assignments help to ensure that each player is assigned only those missions that he or she is prepared to complete, while Valve's advanced "Anti-Cheat" technology has been implemented to prevent noncontiguous storyline jumping. Brink also features a fully-functional online multiplayer component, enabling up to 16 users to play within a specific map and set of missions at the same time.
