Pink font on a Halo cover = master trolling

[Jinfash]

That Steel Battalion rating is quite surprising.

(And to a lesser extent: Inversion)

Why is it trolling? Master Chief is obviously gay.

Next month: Dust 514?

That Steel Battalion rating is quite surprising.

I think it's fair to say that the game's *interesting*, even if it wasn't particularly successful in its goals.

[glaurung]

Surprised at the Steel Battalion grade, but that was already discussed in the game's thread.

More surprised at the clusterfuck that is Spec Ops. Disappointed in Heroes of Ruin, I was hoping more.

[Kem0sabe]

So an unplayable game (Steal Battalion) gets a higher score than games you can actually play (Game of Thrones)?

EDGE and it´s review scores... lol

[Ushojax]

I am very curious to see that Steel Battalion review.

More surprised at the clusterfuck that is Spec Ops. Disappointed in Heroes of Ruin, I was hoping more.

Really? I'm shocked it got a 6, that seems very generous from Edge.

Here you go: http://www.edge-online.com/reviews/s...y-armor-review

I haven't actually played it yet, but you're saying that even 6 is a lot?

[Visualante2]

Slow month, hopefully the features are good. Last month's next month page must have been referring to Molyneux's Cube game.

Obligatory

[Jinfash]

Never heard of Gauge before... Downloading.

[JonCha]

I really should just subscribe considering I've had almost every issue this year. It's been consistently good, and should get even better as the Wii U approaches.

[Smellycat]

I am completely guessing here, but is the teaser for next month about Bioshock?

They had a cover on it last year. I'd be surprised if it got another piece so soon.

[Ushojax]

Based on the demo, yes. 6 from Edge is above average, they've given games like Smash Bros Melee a 6 in the past.

Oh well, guess that's one more purchase off my list.

It's going to be a slow summer with D3 and the occasional MMO.

Apart from the E3 previews the other two big features seem to be on high scores and Peter Molyneux neither particularly interest me.

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Sounds like a stupid Kingdom Hearts quote. I'm going with KH3...

[glaurung]

Hmm, that actually makes sense.

For a moment there I was leaning towards something like Endless Space (wouldn't really warrant an appearance on the cover of a magazine) or some Sins of the Solar Empire game.

But KH sounds about right.

[Jinfash]

Re: teaser...

Imma go with Media Molecule's new IP. Imma keep saying that until it turns out to be true.

[SolidSnakex]

Re: teaser... Imma go with Media Molecule's new IP. Imma keep saying that until it turns out to be true.

I'm guessing that MM's new IP will be Sony's big gamescom reveal.

[Detox]

I want to say the teaser is a sequel to From Dust that focuses on water but I'm not sure how likely it is to get a sequel.

[mclem]

Really? It fits with Dust 514 for me in a big way; the sort of thing a PR guy would say about how it dynamically interacts with EVE.

[Darkflight]

Officially given up hope of EDGE having good covers again now they've obscured a Halo one, sigh.

[earvcunanan]

Teaser for next issue...

Gears of War Judgment?

[Detox]

I have to agree none of the covers have wowed me. The Halo artwork is really good as it extends to the back but all that text messes it up. I understand they have to attract attention in shops but I would love it if subscribers got a less cluttered cover.

[Mafro]

Why is it trolling? Master Chief is obviously gay.

True story, last year's Arkham City cover with Batman's ripped chest and pink writing was put on the shelf amongst all the gay magazines at one of my local newsagents.

[Visualante2]

Especially when they put the price up few months back. I was so close to cancelling but this year has been good and the new format has grown on me.

So is there actually any new halo content in there, or is it just a elaboration upon it's E3 showing?

[JonCha]

I imagine there's an in-depth feature, perhaps their impressions, maybe an interview. Usually it's pretty interesting stuff. I'll get it anyway, so if someone else doesn't I'll type up some of the good stuff.

I would like to know this as well...

[Suairyu]

Fantastic review for VF5.

[Untracked]

Just read the Halo article, I'm very glad to hear vehicle handling has been tweaked and is now "enthralling".
Hog handling in Reach wasn't much fun for me, (too floaty, not enough weight) so hopefully I'll be able to throw them into turns without landing upside down in 4.

Is that all what was in the article for Halo 4? Any other info...

Thanks. Would be swell.

Sounds good, really didn't like how the vehicles handled in Reach, Hog specifically.

[Oxx]

Eww, my subscriber copy is horribly mangled. It must have gotten wet during yesterday's rainstorms.

I can barely turn the pages.

[GlamFM]

Next month teaser sounds extra cheesy. Probably some japanese game.

[Untracked]

That's the biggest deal for me lol. It's mainly stuff we already know. They talk about 343 taking over, how with Spartan Ops they are "basically entering the episodic television industry". An icy War Games map called Longbow is mentioned briefly, which is "perfect for Warthog action".
It's mostly things we saw in the E3 demo and a little bit about a Spartan Ops mission called The Dig. There's a few screenshots and some weapon art. Nothing mind-blowing. Frankie says all 343 are doing from now until launch is "polish and hard execution".

Ah, thanks. And if you didn't know, 343 released some impressive pics of Longbow yesterday.

There are guns in Halo that shoot pink needles. Half the levels in Halo are usually purple.

My first thought was Bioshock like already mentioned.

Either that or your postman REALLY likes Halo.

I didn't know, thanks. It looks stunning!

I could have gone through life happy that I didn't know that.

lol ERGE.

Indeed, seems too high to be true :)

Oh my.

Either that or Beat the Beat.

[Sir Fragula]

People have been telling me good things about the Game of Thrones RPG, but this is the first review score I've seen. What's the GAF consensus on it?

[BrokenSymmetry]

Fantastic review for VF5.

Yes, by far the best (and best-written) review of the game I've seen.

[Dead Man Typing]

Hit post then realised my mistake. Deleted.

[Finalow]

well, that cover is pretty cool. also too bad for Game Of Thrones. ;-(
