And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Damn, Armored Core V an 8? Is it any different from that Armored Core that was released on PS3 release day :p?

I'd be in the dick
I knew ORC would get an Edge 3. Also, have other big gaming outlets been reviewing Angry Birds: Space? It would be cool if more iOS stuff got real reviews. There's a ton of good stuff buried in the store.

Is Unbounded THAT good?
This is not the first great score it got...

I mean, I love Bugbear but I also love my good old japanese Ridge Racer and... Yeah, I must confess the U-turn in terms of visual style, plus the heavy contaminations from other racing game formulas made me almost non-interested in the game. Maybe I should reconsider my position?

Armoured Core! Never played one but it's a From Software game and it scored well on Edge. I am - if nothing else - a man who is loyal to those who have been good to me.

Eurogamer used to do a fantastic job until they moved to their "App of the Day" format. Now a few of those writers are doing "proper" iOS reviews over at Hookshot Inc. Edge have been reviewing more iOS games than anything, with several reviews going up nearly every week, many of them scoring very well.

I wanted to hate it when it was first announced, but it looks very good.
 
It's a shame about Pandora's Tower, it was always the black sheep of project rainfall. Personally I never understood why it was part of the campaign.
Still, I bought Xenoblade and Last Story, but I'm afraid a rental is all I can offer PT until I personally see it's quality.
 
is there a version of the cover without the stupid words on the front?

Do subs get textless covers? For some reason I thought they did...

It's a shame - as much as the interior design has improved recently, Edge's cover design seems to be sinking under the weight of all the text :-(

my eyes hurt with that cover.

anyway good for trials and ridge racer, definitely getting them :)

also, any pics of next months cover?
 
Oh EDGE. Take it from a guy who stopped buying your magazine when the covers changed- fire your graphic design lads. If that's what the outside is like, I dread to think what the inside is like.

Rumor is that Halo4 is Game Informer's cover story next month.

its also a preview in this EDGE. details!


yeah, probably just a print version of what jurnos and we all saw last month

Kind of expected Pandora's Tower to be meh, operation rainfall should have waited to see if the games were any good before demanding western release.

Its pretty fun but I got to say that the online is pretty barren right now. I was hoping for a better online community(on xbox live).

Some people like the game a lot. The guys at Red Sun Gamer podcast for example. It's gotten a few decent reviews in other European gaming mags as well.

Personally, I don't expect to find it an excellent game, but I find the unique, morbid concept behind the game interesting, so I'm definitely still getting it. They really don't make enough of these niche, B-games in Japan for home consoles anymore.
