Edge#125 review scores

[Concept]

Damn it. When are any of the magazine muppet-heads in the UK going to put the Halo 2/Half-Life 2 trailers on DVD, direct-feed style in the fullness of full?

I was hoping OXBM might do something like that. But I doubt they will, because let's face it, they're a bit skank when it comes to dealing with the here and now of the up and coming.

the latest pc gamer has halflife 2 on the dvd, i think its the 500meg e3 one.

[Concept]

My PC's so skank anything on DVD-Rom is irrelevant to me.

DVD video on the other hand, is not. Anyone know if there are any PC mags out there with DVD-vids on?

I would like to see some of the E3 PC stuff. For me, it simply had the strongest showing out of all the formats this year.

um it is a vid. on a dvd rom. i dont understand what your after :P

[angel]

ah, unless you mean to be played on a dvd player in which case theres no chance at all tbh.

[Concept]

That'd be it. Yes.

Ah, well. Never mind.

A bit OT, but the Edge distribution is very crap. I only recieved my #124 this morning, and that was after calling them up to send another copy. So about 3 weeks late then. It's been a few weeks late in the past as well. This is really ****, I thought Future kept chasing subscribers, I'd get a better service going to WH Smiths all the time. ft:

Oh... before I get my hands on a copy myself, anyone care to comment on the C64 article/feature? If only because I had a major hand in it

Seems ok, but one thing. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Steve Crowther who wrote wanted watned monty mole. Wasn't it (An)Tony Crowther. I guess this as the screenshot clearly states written by A Crowther on it.

The DVD is pretty awful. I get the impression nobody from Edge (ie the editorial staff or writers) had any input... there's a whole section at the start about movie tie-ins, that they aren't as bad as they used to be, and Enter The Matrix is their main example... this on the cover of a magazine that gave it 3/10

[Concept]

Is the price of the magazine this month upped via the inclusion of this DVD? Or is it still ?4?

[lordcookie]

It says ?4 on the cover. It would be a bit cheeky if they upped the price for a 40 minute DVD that you cant choose if you want or not.

[Mayhem]

Rechecked the final edit of the document I sent back... says Tony Crowther. Looks like the gremlins got in there after I sent it on!

I preferred it without the scores. This months letter page sums it up perfectly when the chap says he skipped straight to the SC2 score. I did the same and boy was it refreshing to read the review without prior bias.

Dissapointing to see Lost kingdoms 2 score a measly 4/10 when the first one was highly praised and scored an 8/10 IIRC.

What is with some developer's and sequels?

[Rushy]

why did Socom slip from 7/10 (US version/offline) to 5/10 (PAL version/online)?

Cos offline the game is better. Online the game is dire IMO, I've had it for ages and it pants, 5/10 is generous.

And someone mentioned the deadzone on the PS2 analogue pad, yes it really does affect this game. It makes online play extremely difficult and a flustrating experience.
