    Right that's it. I must get my Thunderforce review done so that the truth* gets out there.

    *my version of it.

      Someone explain to me why this magazine is worth a fiver with no cover disk on the front each month? I probably wouldn't even buy it for a fiver if the paper it was printed on was the last source of paper on earth and I needed to wipe after using the toilet!

      People screamed murder over eurogamer's 6/10 for PoP.

          Why are you blaming the games? Sonic Unleashed to score higher than PoP? Not in this ****ing lifetime!

                Because it's one of the best and most reliable Videogame magazines published?

                Anywho, disappointing score for Prince of Persia this month, but I'm looking forward to the Perfect Dark Feature.

                  That's the last time they'll get to do that feature...

                    Clearly

                    Two words - "Sonic" "Unleashed"

                    And who in the name of Jesus H Christ votes the 360 as hardware of the year?

                      Can you name me one other current Videogame magazine that is better and as consistent?

                        I thought Edge were very big on the "5 is average!" thing. a whole lot of 6's there

                          It's the January issue, right?

                          The scores always suck coming out of Chrimbo.

                            So not only are Sonic Unleashed and Youre In The Movies better games than Prince of Persia, but the 360 hardware has dramticaly improved this year... ok, I'm sure it made sense when they wrote it.

                              I agree with the low score for GTi Club on PSN, I paid my tenner and felt it hardly added anything to what I got in the demo.

                              Always a lot of Edge hate but its still my favourite magazine, even if I don't trust their reviews fully, not really their fault, mag reviews are just a bit old hat nowadays.

                              I love the idea of LBP and won't argue with the technical, art awards. Bit of a leap to make it game of the year though.
