Stolen from rllmuk... Let the predictable ****storm begin

Should be an interesting show at least

[toythatkills]

OH MY GOD. [number] FOR [game]?! That's ridiculous. Edge has lost it. I'm never buying Edge again. Edge used to be good. Edge is just being controversial for the sake of it. Edge hates the [console].

Right, can we close the thread now?

[parkinho]

Has the potential to be the most entertaining Edge thread in months!

This out in the shops yet?

Extremely encouraging HotD score.

Nothing there that strikes me as wildly controversial given Edge's usual scoring habits and the marks every other media source has handed out. I'm curious as to why they didn't like KZ2 more, and a little disappointed, but eh - 7 from my one of my favourite sources of journalism's still pretty good when I consider how bloody awful the first game was. 8's for Overkill and Fear 2 are also very welcome news. Ouch, wallet, ow, ow, ow, etc.

I really enjoyed the Halo Wars demo, so I reckon that's a buy. I'd get FEAR 2 eventually too, i reckon, but I won't be impressed if the cheevs are as brutal as the last one.

They basically said the story is crap and that you could pretty much play the levels in any order, plus a lot of the levels feel like multiplayer maps with bots.

That's the first 8+ score for a lightgun game in quite some time, certainly the first on Wii. Definitely on my purchase list now.

The ai is praised and they also compare some parts of it to cod4 and fear 2 so go figure but yeah dosent sound to good from a story point of view but then again i didn't think much to gears 2 story but enjoyed the blasting.

online praised in the side box but then this is all phrased as if its guess work on there part unless there comparing it to the online beta which was fantastic.

A 7?! 7? Are they serious?! A 7?!

7? Bloody hell, Edge.

A 7 for Boing! Docomodake. I heard it was at least a 7.3. Cancelling my subscription now.
