at The Movies. I still haven't gotten around to getting it, so can't comment, but with every other review havign nothing but good to say, my excitement was at fever pitch, so it's a touch disappointing to hear a dissenting voice. Be interested to see why they weren't quite so enamoured with it.

Disagree on Perfect Dark Zero too, it's worth more than a 7 IMO.

I wonder how long it'll be before Fiddy Cent is chucked in the bargain bin for fiddy pence?

(Checks sales figures) Jesus Christ? Are people insane? Damn you! Damn you all to hell...

Score for Infected is way too low....sure its short but I really enjoyed it.

PD0 deserves an 8 as well....really not understanding some of the hate its encountering and the Edge review is damnation with fain praise (assuming the text in the new issue is the same as edgeonline)

[Yoshimax]

Very surprised at the score for RR6

[marcus]

Its about right for me, it delivers everything I expected it to, but nothing more than that, its very much done by the numbers. A little more vision from the devs could of elevated a good game into a great one.

Surprised 50Cent even got a mention, its not like the Edge readership is the demographic that would purchase such a obviously bad game.

My Brother bought that 50 Cent game.
He's a fan, but I'd been trying to persuade him against it for months.
He keeps pestering me to use my Playstation (he hasn't got one - too busy gettin' high with his crew and spendin' his cash on strippers).

I took my PS to the Girlfriends so I never have to witness that crap.
He turned to me the other day after playing it at a mates and told me Colossus (which I was playing at the time) was nothing compared to "quality 50 Cent" game.

****ing moron!
All hate mail to my brother please.

The Edge awards were mostly non controversial, much to my surprise. Only one I laughed at was 'best publisher - Sony'. Nintendo's DS output this year has been so ridiculously outstanding they'd be an easy no.1 for me. But hey ho, at least the rest was pretty sensible.

[Zed]

The 50Cent game has quite good, or at least interest-tweaking, adverts. I was almost tempted to pick up a copy myself, before i had an internal slap and stopped myself.

If it goes to ?0.50 i may get one just for a laugh.

[Dogg Thang]

Katamari PSP only getting a 7? I have high hopes for this.

Yeah look at the HUUUUUGE volume quality games they've published in the last 12 months. I can only count 3 games of any merit there. Nintendo's output abosolutely pisses on it

GRAN TURISMO 4
GOD OF WAR
WIPEOUT PURE
APE ESCAPE: ON THE LOOSE
RISE OF THE KASAI
TWISTED METAL: HEAD ON
GENJI
APE ESCAPE 3
MEDIEVIL RESURRECTION
PURSUIT FORCE
SLY 3: HONOR AMONG THIEVES
BUZZ! THE MUSIC QUIZ
JAK X
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
RATCHET: GLADIATOR PS2 SCEE Insomniac

I've just had the finishing touches added to my Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves facial tattoo, I sure hope it's in your top three, otherwise I'm going to feel like a right twat.

[anephric]

Is it a 3D facial tattoo?

versus

Mario Strikers

Now now, don't be silly!

How about:

Yoshi Touch & Go (DS)
Touch! Kirby (DS)
Animal Crossing Wild World (DS)
Mario & Luigi 2 (DS)
MarioKart (DS)
Nintendogs (DS)
Advance Wars (DS)
Batallion Wars (GC)
Pokemon XD (GC)
Drill Dozer (GBA)
Princess Peach (DS)
Mario Tennis (GBA)
Elektroplankton (DS)
Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! (DS)


And probably more I 've forgotten. Nobody comes anywhere near Nintendo for publishing bragging rights this year. Innovation and franchise winners, they have the lot.
