"Brink really managed to captivate our imagination with its original setting, streamlined gameplay and standard-setting user interface."

"From our eye-watering and ear-popping first look, it seems that Brink is fully capable of fulfilling Splash Damage's mission in blurring the lines between single and multiplayer, and doing so in a way that's fast-paced, gutsy and full of thrills. Brink is more than just noise – it's also shaping up to be one of the definitive shooter experiences of next year."
