Is that suppose to be the new Time Splitters?

ResidentDante · (01-13-2011, 01:12 PM)

Little Big Planet 2 I presume?

Foliorum Viridum · (01-13-2011, 01:12 PM)

LBP2 getting a 9 is good news, but unsurprising. Can't wait for it!

I was sorta worried about Dead Space 2, however, so that getting a 9 is a great surprise. :D

CryptiK · (01-13-2011, 01:12 PM)

So the Teaser was for Bodycount? :S

If that means people abandoning it before it is finished, then yes.

Odds of the 3 graphic adventure games' scores and review texts being arbitrary? 2:1.

Empty · (01-13-2011, 01:13 PM)

first western review of ninokuni? nice score.

might have to pick this up for the making of's and time extend as they are very juicy this month.

No not really. A few key ex-Criterion members worked on Bodycount and the game has been likened to Black as far as the amount of destruction is concerned. Bodycount has reportedly had some issues as of late (Stuart Black, the Director on the project left before the game was complete) so it could be a bit hit or miss once it finally drops. Personally I'm still interested in the game as it could be something different in the fps genre as far as presentation and plot is concerned.

My hastily quoted post was turned into a new thread by a mod, I hope it doesn't mean I'm responsible for keeping it updated now.

credit to angel, who is probably the same person/cat as dyergram!

Yes.

Teaser pages, covers, table of contents, and advertisements are all permissible, as they're all essentially advertisements for the contents of the magazine.

Keyser Soze · (01-13-2011, 01:17 PM)

Just checked, an my Zinio copy is not available yet... DAMN YOU DIGITAL :/

...I guess digital wont go live til official release date (18th).

I love Edge's making of articles and this one seems to be one that I can't miss.

No kidding. I'd be very interested in seeing what they said about them.

sixteen-bit · (01-13-2011, 01:22 PM)

Is this the lowest mainstream score for 999?

also, nice work Dead Space 2

Next months Teaser is 3DS Related. You can easily tell its the DS logo and its in "3D"

I love Edge, but that's a pretty terrible coverline.

Yeah, it's probably their 3DS launch special.

I don't think so, not sure tho. But you have to remember that edge rates from 1 to 10 so 6 isnt't that bad of a score.

Yep I have the same reaction. Need to read the review text but seriously, how the frak did that happen.

TouchMyBox · (01-13-2011, 01:28 PM)

I like how all the games on that cover look exactly the same.

I always love Edge's 'scoring system explained' box "6 = six" :lol

After unveiling Mirror's Edge 2, and Bungie's new IP this issue, they are too worn out to cover the 3DS IMO.

Speak for yourself, that wasn't easy for me at all! Seems obvious now, thanks.

Their first issue on Zinio was the January Uncharted 3 mag. That was my first digital mag for me, and I was impressed (read on iPad). I guess I am a bit miffed that I am not getting my copy the same day are regular subscribers (I am subscriber too dammit!!)... I can see why they probably have to wait til the magazine hits stores though :/

Majine · (01-13-2011, 01:46 PM)

LBP2 or DS2?

*flips coin*

DAMN IT! I CAN'T MAKE THIS DECISION!

I'd be more surprised, but then I consider whose opinion it is and realize it isn't worth the outrage. The fact that they scored the likes of Heavy Rain of all things higher does nothing to change that perception.
