Kotaku is click bait bollocks but EDGE, while often well written, takes itself far too seriously.

All that said, that cover is kinda cool looking so maybe yeah, someone did their job pretty well I guess.
Also, I think I was probably thinking of CVG not kotaku lol.

There's no denying that this cover is super-sensationalist, but I've found with other, similar issues the writing inside offers a much more balanced view on the topic than the "READ ME NOW!" headline approach.
There's the odd person writing there who I like, but on the whole I can't bloody stand Kotaku.

I have to stop reading Kotaku...its costing me a fortune importing the Japanese snacks they put in Snacktaku
I find it interesting that people still bother reading magazines nowadays...I'd no more buy one than I would darn a sock or eat bully beef at tiffin.
Does Edge etc really offer anything over the internet??

This issue really is an all time low for Edge. Who the fap cares what Tinie Tempah has to say. Any one who glanced at the cover would instantly think XboxOne was doomed. Think I'll not bother renewing my subscription if they keep on this BS track with constantly bashing MS.
I own both PS4 and XboxOne, and don't side with either. But my game collection tells a different story as I've 11 XboxOne games to 1 PS4 game.

Has anyone read mags like the official ones like nom, oxbox or even ps, ign online, kotaku? With there bought and paid for reviews? No thanks.
No ones perfect, but there pretty dam good.

Yeah edge is a very good magazine. Someone mentioned if it has anything worth reading over the internet and I'd say yes it does. The biggest problem with many games magazines is that they don't offer anything over what you can get for free online. Edge does manage to do that, which is part of the reason it 's still popular. I'm not always interested in its content, but im glad magazines like edge and gamestm exist.

I remember buying the first issue of EDGE back in 1993 and loving the magazine throughout the '90s. After 2000, it became more and more like an industry catalogue aimed at boring people. It became so soulless, to the point of always making me feel negative about gaming, that I had to stop subscribing in 2010. It felt like a magazine carrying an anti-gaming curse - I had to get it out of my life.
I can't believe Strider is saying EDGE is "very good." I love Retro Gamer with a passion, because it enthuses me with its positive energy. RetroGamer isn't just a great magazine by modern standards( which is easy ) but easily one of the best gaming magazines ever made. I'd love a magazine from the same people called Modern Gamer.
GamesTM( apart from the retro section ) has always been a worthless industry catalogue - and EDGE ended up being even more lifeless than GamesTM. Both magazines deserve to rot in the litter bins of purgatory.Last edited by Leon Retro; 15-04-2014, 06:22.
