Glad to see Fahrenheit get a half decent score, i've been keeping my eye on it for a while. Surprised at the score Geist got.

Nanostray (DS) - 5

For some reason I thought this was gonna be wicked...

[vertigo]

Geist got a 4? Blimey. I was expecting at least a 6 for that.
I take it I should be expecting Edge in my post box this evening then, along with a non-pirated copy (finally!) of Aria of Sorrow. Today is a good day
Apart from Geist, I'd say the rest of those seem about right.

[Salsa Party Animal]

So what it say about Virtua Tennis on PSP. I haven't read one word of Edge 153 let alone 154

[EvilBoris]

The main idea of geist is great, you just get the feeling the studio needs to hire some decent bug testers,graphic designers and sound designers.

[PeteJ]

Damn, I was really looking forward to Beat Down too. Apparently it was going to be really wicked, perhaps even sick.

[charlesr]

ooof. What did they say about Nanostray? Presume it was marked down because it didn't use the touchscreen (or rather, didn't need to).

[Mr Ono]

Geist - 4


Looks like that answers my question as to whether or not get the game then.

[Ajay1986]

Fahrenheit (multi) - 8Ooooooh cant wait to play this after the demo reeled me in.

[Ish]

What do the making of and time extend articles cover?

[stoofle]

Ossu! Tatake! Ouendan! (DS) - 8

After following the first play thread for a while, I *really* can't wait for this to turn up now.

[Ish]

In answer to my own question should anyone else care the making of is a special on Taito legends - interviews with Tomohiro Nishikado of Spaec Invaders fame and Fukio Mitsuji on Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands and Volified. Its a bit short though. Only a couple of pages.

The time extend is Manhunt. Meh.

[anephric]

Edge in Rockstar North suckup shocker.

[Kotatsu Neko]

ooof. What did they say about Nanostray? Presume it was marked down because it didn't use the touchscreen (or rather, didn't need to).

Edge have a history of being rather unkind to shooters. Famous goofs include mediocre reviews of Radiant Silvergun, Gunstar Heroes, and PN03.

Not that it matters, reviews are only opinion and nobody should care what Edge or any other mag think.

I really enjoyed nanostray and if I was reviewing the game purely for my own interest it would be a very solid 8.
