/bow Braid

[Bluemercury]

The Super Metroid thing might be interesting....

[Fady K]

Final Fantasy Tactics A2 > FFIV remake?

HAH. Right.

[sionyboy]

- Braid [360, PC] 9

Rock.

I only found out about this game yesterday, and tit went straight to the top of my "games I want" list. Why did no-one tell me about this 2D Platforming Puzzle game before? :/

[Dabookerman]

Ok, Cover will be posted in a sec.

When the hell was this a race o-o

[chandoog]

nice score @ siren.

[Kuroyume]

- Siren : Blood Curse Episodes 1-3 [PS3] 8

Nice... I still haven't tried the demo.

- Braid [360, PC] 9

Wow...

- Bionic Commando Rearmed [360, PS3] 8

Awesome :p

[immy]

Soul Calibur IV 8
Final Fantasy Tactics A2 : etc etc 8
Final Fantasy IV 7

[Xyphie]

- Braid [360, PC] 9 - Bionic Commando Rearmed [360, PS3] 8

If anyone with the magazine could do a short summary of these reviews it would be awesome.

[Cronox]

American Mcgee's Grim epi 1-3 6

Oy... after listening to American on one of the 1up podcasts I had higher hopes for this game. I'll wait and see what Jeff Green's review turns out like.

[gofreak]

- Big Feature on LittleBigPlanet

Do want!

[Dabookerman]

Ok edited my first post as Roxas made a better post ;p

[Chinner]

A Look at the entire Oddworld series, and the making of the games

Love Oddworld. tis been awhile since I picked up EDGE, perhaps this time I'll pick it up.

[gofreak]

Is this just hitting subscribers now or should it be in stores? Would love to pick it up today if it's out..

[_Alkaline_]

Fuck those avatars are ugly.

I just want to punch them in the face.

[goomba]

Guitar Hero DS 4

Ouch, whats the shortcomings of this game?. Its been advertised to hell here in London.

[Polari]

Very trivial, as it just has a blank notepad with the word "Notes" on the top. Hmmm

HOLY SHIT SHENMUE III HOLY SHIT

[BeeDog]

Nice scores for Braid, BC:R and Siren. \o/

Will Braid be available on Steam? If it has good replay value and a lot of depth, I want to buy it.

[Dabookerman]

Fuck those avatars are ugly. I just want to punch them in the face.

They're much better than Miis at least.

[Andrex]

Terrible review scores all around. :/

[gofreak]

Also, that's a really good score for Siren..but why no reviews for all the chapters? I'm really curious if the quality holds up (haven't bought any of them...yet).

[Kiriku]

One of the worst Edge covers I've seen in some time.

[Tisan]

Next Month Very trivial, as it just has a blank notepad with the word "Notes" on the top. Hmmm Credit to Roxas^^^

Which made me immediately think iphone gaming.

I'll buy this issue, as Edge's features are fantastic and Oddworld is awesome.

[PetriP-TNT]

Heck, it's one of the worst covers ever. HORRIBLE. I don't like Mii's and Avatars are like 1000 times as bad.

[Doc Evils]

They're much better than Miis at least.

Mii's don't look generic.

[mr_bishiuk]

One of the worst Edge covers I've seen in some time.

Sell a lot of copies though as it will grab 360 owners attention

[RandomVince]

I wonder if theyre still getting angry mail about MGS4?

Tbh I think they deserve a bit of angry mail, their review score standards have been hard to pin down lately, but I cant stay angry at them as the articles are just so much better than any other mag around.

SC4 looks like its a good'un.

[Ghost]

Mii's don't look generic.

I think you just insulted everyone who was involved with designing Mii's.

The whole point is to make them as generic and inoffensive as possible.

[MMaRsu]

Mii's don't look generic.

How are these generic? Do you even know what that means?

Are you saying normal people are generic too?

[Doc Evils]

Mii's have a certain look to them. anyone can look at them and reconize they are Mii's.

When I look at Edges front cover, they look like those internet chat room avatars. i.e generic.

[Dabookerman]

Mii's don't look generic.

They all look generic.
Just, Miis are far too simple.
I'm sure they are all equally annoying.

[Cosmonaut X]

They all look generic. Just, Miis are far too simple. I'm sure they are all equally annoying.

That's the whole point & it's why they work so well.

[Kuroyume]

You're being really stupid now.

[Lé Blade Runner]

Soul Calibur IV = 8? Nice. :)

Oh and... While Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 is good, it's more a 7 than an 8 in my books.

[maxmars]

I think you just insulted everyone who was involved with designing Mii's. The whole point is to make them as generic and inoffensive as possible.

Well you should see some of the Miis that are floating around. I had to delete a few because my kids found them disturbing.

Looking at how much freedom they left for positioning facial features, I think they did it on purpose.

[akachan ningen]

Any new details on LBP that weren't covered at E3?

[Metal B]

Next Month Very trivial, as it just has a blank notepad with the word "Notes" on the top. Hmmm

Death Note the Game!

[°°ToMmY°°]

can someone post post a pic of the teaser in the last page?

[Andrex]

Death Note the Game!

There's already three of those.

[Fady K]

I dont think highly of Microsoft's avatars at all, but the Miis arent much better either. Theyre all simple looking.

[Splatt]

Those avatars are ugly. As _Alkaline_ said, I'd like to punch them in the face. Hard.

[thrasher]

Boo @ FFIV 7!

[Haunted]

Someone post the teaser page, I want to speculate, too. :/

HOLY SHIT SHENMUE III HOLY SHIT

believe


Thanks Kev

[shiwasu]

> avatars.

This is purely based on the fact I haven't seen an avatar with the white part in their eyes. It's creeping me out.
