Ouch, was looking forward to seeing how Knights Contract turned out...

De Blob 2 – [8] - Good good. Same score as the first.

Nice score for Hard Corps! I was probably going to get it anyway (it looks great, and I like ASW) but that pretty much seals it... unless the demo stinks. Glad to see Okamiden do well too.

Don't remember any particular vs fighters getting reviewed in the mag, but I think it's safe to say the MvC 3 score is to be taken with a pinch of salt. I doubt a couple of weeks with the game is sufficient to understand the technicalities and balance that'll turn it into a long-running mainstay of the tournament circuit, or consign it to the fiery depths.

Next month will be a nice big feature on NGP I reckon.

Edge have never been that keen on fighters anyway. Games tm went with 8, which I think is where most reviews will fall.

[abigsmurf]

Next month is Metal Gear Rising (shot of Raiden from the POV of a box)

[ShadowDancer]

May I ask what EDGE Gave Goldeneye on Wii? Thank you.

EDIT - 8.

Had a quick read of the Mindjack review this morning. Not really sure what time of the day they were playing as there's been plenty of people online whenever I've been on there, despite what they claim. Hell I had someone jump into my game within 5 minutes of starting the campaign. I've only hit issues with the cover clipping a couple of times so far too, most of the time the issue is actually the player trying to shoot at an angle that the cover would block in real life anyway.

Got my copy through today, its a good issue this month, plenty to read.

Also chuffed as chips for winning a DSi XL for my letter. Go me!

Interesting that MvC3 scores so far are hovering around average

[Mr Ono]

They should have done a lenticular cover shot of the 3DS.

[JU!]

Just got this issue. It looks really good. Nice and thick, some nice articles in it. Lookin fwd to reading about PSP2, Killzone 3 and MVsC 3. Mortal Kombat looks interesting from vids so see what Edge says.
