Cover is of Bioshock 2 (10 page feature). Previews include Lost Planet 2, Bayonetta, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and Saboteur. Features include The Innovation Game, about the innovation category at the IGF Grand Prize awards, Note Perfect, which focuses on the rhythm action genre, and On the Road, which looks at the Fallout 3 backstory. Retro has a Behind the Scenes on Simon the Sorcerer.

More importantly the Retro section has a feature on Mike Haggar!

Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures: Flight of the Bumblebees - 8/10

A good Wallace & Gromit game; surely not!?

Retro has a Behind the Scenes on Simon the Sorcerer.

Oooooooh...

[Spatial]

That's it I'm cancel... wait! Wrong thread!

[abigsmurf]

Good score for shining force feather. Hope it proves to have a bit more depth than Luminous Arc and FFTA2. Do like the look of the battle system, even if the field graphics are a bit plain judging from the trailers.

Theres a new Rambo game out? What?

Theres a new Rambo game out? What?

Arcade game isn't it? Vaguely remember reading something about it a few months back.

[Skull Commander]

Aye Rambo and Primeval Hunt are both arcade reviews.

[MattyD]

I don't know what you lot reckon but I'm quite liking that (fairly) new feature in the Retro section where they showcase a single ZOMG R@RE game. More like this please!

Theres a new Rambo game out? What?

It's the arcade game. They review another Sega lightgun game on the same page.

There's a Rambo cabinet on the top floor of the Trocadero if you're after playing it. I didn't reckon much to it though. It's not as well designed as Ghost Squad and the graphics were curiously blocky and ancient-looking.

22 reviews, and the spread of scores goes from a low of 5 to a high of 8.

Weird month. No great games, no bad games.

[El Leone]

Can we edit the review scores out please?

[toythatkills]

If you have a problem with the Edge thread, no one cares. Start a new one. There's no need to troll other threads.

[merf]

i know it doesn't matter but for Peggle, a game with hours of offline and online play for a few measly quid to only score 8 seems a tad churlish.

judged as a cheap XBLA arcade title this is a 10 or at least a 9

[toythatkills]

There's a few things that stop it being a ten, losing the replay saving and cursor from the PC version being them.

[Skull Commander]

Surely the uber cheap feel of the game and general naffness of the presentation stops it from being a 9 or 10. Don't get me wrong, I love it but it's a horribile game to look at.
