not one mention of this?
Nope, because it's perfectly in line with what most think (ie: it's above average, but just barely).

Nice to see SCL totally raped though. :lol

Can we get some of the Farcry 2 info? As well as the hint for next month's story? And wow at NMH; that is WAY better than I expected. I might actually consider purchasing it now. :lol

The most important thing about Edge is the main cover story and what's the hint for next time.
Oh come on Wollan the Heavenly Sword and Formula One reviews were a long time ago you can drop it now.

Glad to see high marks for Burnout. I don't understand the hate surrounding the demo, which I thought was pretty damn well put together, all things considered.

And laffo at Soul Calibur. That's harsh.

This is totally unexpected from EDGE, was expecting NMH to score a like 7 or 8, now I just can't wait to get my copy from Play-Asia.

Soul Calibur Legends - [2]
Learn from Rygar, although it is a port, it seems that alot of efforts are put into the project. Better luck next time.

This one. Damn the rest but this one was horribly miss-rated.

Anyways, my demand for the cover story and hint was genuine. I subscribe myself but it doesn't help when I'm currently in a foreign country.

Can't see how Burnout Paradise is going to be anything but great.

That's a good cover. Not as busy and screaming for attention as those other game mags.

The No More Heroes score is certainly surprising but it makes February all the better with DMC 4 to go with it.

I don't want to sound harsh or anything but I find that cover to be pretty damn ugly, especially compared to their usual standard.

Wait, they give Killer 7 an 8?!?!? I'm gonna need some details on that NMH review. (Prolly should have waited for the text anyway)

I hope that's the Far Cry 2 cover.


Then each subsequent port and spinoff can have a redone version of some dude holding an AK, just like Far Cry and its "angry dude with MP5" motif.

Great score for NMH! Didn't realize it's close to release in Europe. Just checked Amazon and they say it will be out on February 29th. Only a month away! :D

Speedball 2 Tournament was an insult to the original Amiga game - just my opinion. I'm also surprised at the score for the club considering all of the smack talk it took on the forums because it looks like a decent game and the 7 from Edge at least validates it somewhat. I'm not surprised at the score for Burnout Paradise because it deservedly deserves that 9 and once the full game comes out I'm sure it'll put a lot of people that criticized it in their place.

Just watched the NMH vids on Gamersyde..

Zaka TV? Is this game related to the terrible Michigan in any way?

Looks awesome though...please don't make me buy a Wii..
 
But it's censored. ;___;

The abstract effects look superior to the blood. Before it was even announced that Europe was getting a censored version Edge suggested we should start a petition to get the Japanese one.

I thought not much effort might be put into the game, but didn't think it would be a 2 bad.

are there any changes aside from swapping out red blood spray for black? i can't imagine its going to make much difference if that's it. i'd just as soon have the black spray, really... a lot of "realism" isn't going to improve things at all in this case.

exactly.

if its just a color swap they should give you the option in the config somewhere.
