#268 on sale June 5th. It is PlayStation related.

Best issue in a loooong time.

[ShogunDarius]

completely and utterly disagree on Child of Light

 

[SJRB]

wtf at Child of Light.

 

[Huggers]

Mario Kart . Hype increased exponentially

 

[iMax]

Great.

What did MK7 get ?

MK 7 got a 9 too. MK Wii got 6.

 

[Sadist]

Oh man MK hype rising

 

[Visualante2]

Great.

What did MK7 get ?

Mario Kart 7 and Advance got 9, DS and 64DD an 8, Wii a 6, Double Dash a 5. Not sure if they reviewed Super Mario Kart.

 

[DieH@rd]

I'm interested in what they had to say about TLOU Remaster and Arkham Knight.

 

[ohlawd]

nice MK8 score

yo Child of Light. Game is at least a 7.

 

[miksar]

Mario Kart 8 [9]

Basically confirms it is the best game in the series.

 

[MauroNL]

Child of Light [5]

It’s a game that, for all the intricacy of its systems and the charm of its painterly world, feels oddly empty.

 

[bidguy]

child of light is a solid 8 and i fucking hate turn based games

soundtrack alone warrants a score above 5

Child of Light [5]

It’s a game that, for all the intricacy of its systems and the charm of its painterly world, feels oddly empty.

Been playing it recently and I completely disagree. But, oh well.

 

[Eirulan]

woah, Child of Light only gets a 5??

soundtrack alone warrants a score above 5

This.
It's one of the best soundtracks I listened to in years imho.

 

[Super Stardust]

Mario Kart 8 [9]

 

[AbandonedTrolley]

Happy with my MK8 purchase now, not had a chance to play CoL yet but looking forward to it anyway. Plus I think the keychain was cool!

 

[ohlawd]

did they review Mario Golf in a previous issue?

 

[jimbobsmells]

Wow at child of light and Kinect sports rivals. Didn't expect that.

 

[SmokyDave]

Man, I really should get around to playing Hearthstone. It's sitting on my iPad waiting patiently, but I just haven't found the time. The review makes it sound cool.

http://www.edge-online.com/review/mario-golf-world-tour-review/ didn't make it in I guess.

Kinect Sports Rivals [5]

Stop the press!! A UK game that gets a low score on Edge, this is history in the making guys! :'D

 

[Fady K]

Seems a bit harsh on Child of Light. Polygon seemed to have issues with it as well.

 

[SargerusBR]

Stopped taking EDGE reviews seriously when they gave Rambo a higher score than Lords of Shadow 2

 

[Coolwhip]

Mario Kart 8 excellent!

 

[ohlawd]

http://www.edge-online.com/review/mario-golf-world-tour-review/ didn't make it in I guess.

thanks.

hah, a 6
I'm srsly enjoying it tho.

 

[Man]

Heartstone: Heroes of Warcraft is an amazing iPad game. Deserved score.

 

[DJwest]

Seems like I'm missing out on Child of Light. Is the game that good GAF ? Off to watch some reviews.

 

[Matush]

Playstation related next issue couple of days before E3? Wonder what it will be.

If you want to read into any clues at all.. it is a game of naughts and crosses, filled out to a stalemate. Blue on black.

Child of Light [5]

 

[Acquiescence]

Was hoping for a Watch Dogs score dang it.

 

[Wolfgang Jr]

Mario Kart 7 and Advance got 9, DS and 64DD an 8, Wii a 6, Double Dash a 5. Not sure if they reviewed Super Mario Kart.

Edge got a review copy of Mario Kart 64DD?!

 

[Alessandro]

Can't wait to read more about Mizuguchi return. I want a Rez 2 so bad.

 

[Hubble]

I rate media outlets based on how their reviews correspond with mine and EDGE has always been far off. Not a great publication imo but exclusive content is good.

Do we have an image of this tease?

Even after reading multiple reviews and watching videos I still don't really know what the game is about but it sure keeps climbing up my wishlist.

 

[Prototype Viktor]

wtf at Child of Light.

most likely due to how easy it was or how it made enough people to think it was just a great proof of concept game (like I, who wish it was a more expanded game and harder)

Mario Kart 8 [9]

Good! A 9 from Edge is like a 13.985 from IGN.

 

[Donny Hayabusa]

Man, I really should get around to playing Hearthstone. It's sitting on my iPad waiting patiently, but I just haven't found the time. The review makes it sound cool.

It is a great game. But on my ipad mini it crashes almost every battle. Now i have time for other stuff.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

The review of Child of Light is odd. The writer keeps saying things in the vein of "yep, that is a Ubisoft game" to trends that were never invented nor they're unique to Ubisoft like leveling systems and padding.

Aye, but they're systems Ubisoft feels like they have to insert in to every game, in some form or another. Just systems for the sake of systems.

do you like turn-based RPGs with a fantastic soundtrack? do you have patience for ho-hum stories and juvenile rhymes? if yes, then it's the game for you.

 

[Empty]

that really is an awesome issue. i might buy it - i want to read every feature i think

a making of of a game that never released in the uk tho

It's an incredible gateway into the genre for the newer player. Great tutorializing, and everything is simple and intuitive as far as UI and core game mechanics. But like best of these sorts of games, it's only deceptively simple. Underneath it all lies a fairly deep gaming experience.

Yeah We <3 Katamari is my only reference point for the series
