Edge would be left with sod all to review if it wasn't for PC lol.

Decentish score for DKC I suppose, 7 doesn't scream "must buy day one though". Is it the first DKC review out? bit out of date with Wii U stuff, I mean that game......

[ShadowDancer]

The LOS2 Score is on the low side

[Mr Ono]

LOS2 - ugly, linear, clunky and deeply misguided.

[nakamura]

Hopefully that puts the LOS series to bed.

[Mr Ono]

Yup - mentions in the review that this will be the last one.

Wow Feb seems a poor month for releases January's post crimbo slump seems to be spreading to feb too,

i just watched the quick look of jazzpunk on giant bomb and it seems to be a very strange video game, the objectives is just to mess about and interact with the world. Humor is a very subjective thing so if you don't find it funny I imagine it would fall pretty flat, if Terry Gilliam made a game today it would probably be a lot like Jazzpunk.

The last great castlevania we had, was Order of Ecclesia, that's a very long time ago now....

[djtickle]

Thought we might have seen a FFXIII-3 Review.

[VR46]

Or an Outlast review or Lego Movie game review etc, guess the mag went to press a week ago.

Do they say anything of note about DKC Mr Ono?

The joys of old school technology, our weekly papers only got to press 3pm the day before they're out.

[Lebowski]

They reviewed outlast last year it got a 9 the PS4 version is identical i doubt they will review it again.

[VR46]

Fair enough, didn't think of that, still not completed it, up to chapter six now, proper jumped in quite a few places now.

[Mr Ono]

Donkey Kong was good but nothing spectacular - hence the 7.

Was wondering why I hadn't taken much notice of the second-coming of Elite, and then I read its on the PC only, so thats why. Screw that.
