All I needed to know. Thanks.

[Orlics]

Forza: wow 9 from Edge! That is pretty damn good!

edit: what did they say about FFXIII?

[BenjaminBirdie]

Every review of Forza should have been done AFTER the Wind Waker car was made, but that's quite good regardless.

:)

[Tieno]

Wow @ Forza 2. I'd like to read that review.

[xabre]

See, Edge knows how to review video games.

[RandomVince]

I'm also impressed with the score for DiRT. The preview last month was quite positive, so it will be interesting to see what they liked.

[PkunkFury]

Mercury Meltdown Revolution (Wii) - 8

hot, is this still a budget game?

[Mar_]

Holy shit at Forza. A 9? From Edge? Amazing.

There's actually a number of high scoring games there. Quite a change from the usual.

[DarienA]

See, Edge knows how to review video games.

They do when their score agrees with yours!

[nelsonroyale]

Could you give some info on the Final fantasy feature please?

[arena08]

hot, is this still a budget game?

It says its £40 in edge.

[arena08]

8 Page feature on the future of final fantasy + 2 page interview with Tetsuya Nomura.

[pswii60]

I'm surprised DIRT got an 8 - must be good after all :)

[Pikelet]

Panel De Pon DS (NDS)- 8

sweet, day one purchase

[Syb]

I've still got to pick up issue #175! Stupid import delay!

[PuppetSlave]

Mercury Meltdown Revolution (Wii) - 8

Nice. Never really looked into this game but when reading this I looked up a online review and now I think I must buy it :)

This is the review I read: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=76286

cheers, any new info or pictures...if so I might have to pick it up. Can even edge get exclusives with Square? The company is ridiculously controlling with info flow

[xabre]

All the more reason they're a quality reviewing establishment.

Mercury Meltdown Revolution (Wii) - 8

I keep reading good things about this, is it really that good?

[C.T.]

no, they are all bribed liars...

[_Alkaline_]

HOLY SHIT at Forza and Mercury Meltdown scores.

[macksplack]

They gave forza2 a 9...

Edge is slippin.

[BenjaminBirdie]

They gave forza2 a 9... Edge is slippin.

Slippin on hot awesome grease. It's the most well put together game I've played all year. It won't let me stop playing it, and I am TERRIBLE at Sim Racers most of the time, but this little guy...

Ah, Forza.

I'm glad for you that you like it, for me it's mediocre ofcourse imho.

[Roders5]

no, they are all bribed liars...

Phew, thanks. You just saved me 30 quid.

[Blimblim]

I'm surprised DIRT got an 8 - must be good after all :)

It's a UK game so it automatically gets a +1, but even 7 is a good score from Edge ;)

[Bearillusion]

Zone of Enders 2. Never forget.

[QVT]

I'm glad for you that you like it, for me it's mediocre ofcourse imho.

There are a lot of things the game is, but mediocre is about the least of it. In fact, with the exception of the fact that however long it lasts is not long enough, I'd say its pretty close to a perfect game.

Got to remember that if you're not willing to make a case for this then you can't really say that edge(the last review publication I care about) is "slipping" and then just run away from that.

My thought too, same for Mercury.

[pilonv1]

. The previews were so glowing I figured it would get at least a 7. I'm very keen to read the Driver review though.

[Mmmkay]

I'm very keen to read the Driver review though.

Considering it got panned by just about every site around, I'm interested too. Also, on the +1 for the home team theory... makes me wonder what they really thought of Pirates. Oh and sad to see Hot PXL score so low, it seemed to have some promise all those months ago when we heard from it last.

[Screenboy]

what is the next month cover hint?

I can and i just did, not running away. Perfect game? really? I guess i have to play again tonight to find the perfectnes. I'll let you know if i find it.

Can anyone upload scans from the FF exclusive? sounds very interesting.

[nelsonroyale]

FF info please

[DarienA]

I was speaking in general, not u specifically.

Wow from Edge, that's amazing.

[Kafel]

What do they say about Chocobo Wii ?


( I remember their last cover hint was made of Chocobo feathers )

[QVT]

I can and i just did, not running away. Perfect game? really? I guess i have to play again tonight to find the perfectnes. I'll let you know if i find it.

OH, you're the d-pad user. Its not a d-pad game, I guess.

[BenjaminBirdie]

OH, you're the d-pad user. Its not a d-pad game, I guess.

Works fine for me with the Neg-Con.

[Kiriku]

Surprised Crush only got a 7. Seemed like a typical game for Edge to score high.

EDGE only gives 8 and above to games that include CARS :)

[QVT]

Whats a Neg-Con?

[BenjaminBirdie]

Whats a Neg-Con?

It's this old controller people used to play Wipeout with. Pretty cool little gadget.

[ElAlcesDiablo]

[Francias Castiglione]

Isn't Driver on PSP the first half of Driver 4? I quite enjoyed that, it was an insane improvement over Driv3ugh. Would be a cool portable game if that is the case.

Massive score for Forza. "Edge have lost it!" indeed.

Is Pirates really that bad or is the PS3 version completely broken?

[soul]

Wow. the cover is beautiful.

And no, I'm no Nintendo fanboy.

[BenjaminBirdie]

AWESOME cover.
