Edge Issue 145 thread

[Molloy]

Edge is fairly solid as far as I can see. You get the odd incredibly good issue (the one with the anime guy on the front blowing his brains out with a lightgun) and the odd bad issue but it's generally pretty reasonable.

Thing is we don't have much in the way of good internet journalism to rival Edge. Most of the websites read like OPM with more typos. The only good ones that come to mind are Insert Credit, Armchair Arcade and Idle Thumbs. And most of those don't publish articles very frequently.

Yeah but the rllmuk bunch are a load of sad, miserable, ultra negative frothing at the mouth evangelical Edge fanboys. Anything Edge say is law, and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Bunch of tossers, the lot of them.

What, the same rllmuk bunch that slate the magazine with a venom even you would approve of? Yeah, they love the mag more than their own mothers there alright - the zillion page threads ripping each issue to shreds and bewailing the recent redesign like the arrival of the Apocalypse are testament to that.

Anymore idiotic, ill considered generalisations you'd like to throw in while you're at it, kid?

Let's get straight about EDGE. Just recently came to reed it. 143 issue was excelent. Instead making reviews their first class service they settle other views over industry profusing every ground, every corner, every research. You don't need to agree all that they took. Usualy critics set their enphasys in other dialectic. Their mind it's done. So, each diferent perspective is dramatically wrong. It's not my working business. I mean it.
EDGE is a very cool mag to read. My bookcase waits EDGE 145.

Remember folks, in Edge world, 7 is not the average. Oh no.

Seriously, that is a LOT of 7s this month...

weird. Been hearing a lot of really good things about that game, i thought a 9 was on the cards for that one.

oh well, it is Edge.

[Commander Marklar]

It's rated higher than the first game, which, IIRC, got a 6? It should get a ten, God damn, a TEN!!!11

No 7 means 7 now. Witty, isn't it?

Re : Made in Wario (the first one) - that got a 7 too.

5 for Mario Tennis - oww.

7 for Baten Kaitos - is that worse than ToS then?
