Damn at that Zelda score. Guess they played through it in single-player huh

 

[zsynqx]

Good score for Tony Hawk

 

[oti]

Every month I get beaten by a few minutes. Curse my slow trying.

 

[stalker]

Well, they liked Project Zero / Fatal Frame 5 more than most other reviewers. This is good!

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Pretty good score for Project Zero 5. The scores for this game are really all over the place for some reason.

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

A 6 from Edge doesn't meant they don't like the game. To me at least it never looked particularly great. Would like to read the whole review, wish they still had their website.

 

[stryke]

Interesting they're taking a look at DQ Builders, that game hasn't been announced for the west yet. Does Edge do this often with Japanese titles?

Sorry for that, i'll let you post next month i promise. You re doing better OP anyway. It would be great if you have the cover.

 

[Philippo]

Any pics of the cover(s)?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Or they just didn't liked it.

Sorry, that wasn't meant to be an excuse or dismissal. Just figured that'd give the most negative impression. (Edge normally goes nuts over Zelda)

 

[strafer]

But I heard so many good things about the new Tony Hawk

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Yeah the dq builders bit caught me off guard

But old hunters hype!

 

[Acquiescence]

They're previewing a game that hasn't even been announced for localisation yet.

Thanks! That's today. 16:00 CET...is it that...11 AM EST?

 

[Kenzodielocke]

announced to us

 

[Bumhead]

I like that they have a feature with Tony Hawk in the same issues as absolutely panning his latest game.

 

[GGNKovalski]

That score for THPS5 is far too high.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I mean, PlayStation is region free. Either way it's a game their readers can buy.

Hah! EDGE saying it like it is.

That's basically a zero on any other publication.

lol,
also is TTK really THAT good?

They used to all the time, complete with price info in yen

 

[Lifejumper]

.

Dat cover.

 

[jeemer]

What is time extend? Interested what they're writing about umvc3.

 

[GeordieMark]

.

Great cover.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

That's one hell of a cover

 

[Visualante2]

The faux vintage effect is just my bad scanner. It's actually quite crisp, nothing on the back except black. Street edition appears to have Darth Vader on the cover. Loving that they managed to snag an interview with Tony Hawk while completely trashing his game. Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 is his favourite game but he got started on Pac Man and Missile Command, seems like he was legitimately into games in the 80s. But he also likes Mario 64 if you exclude skateboarding games. Pretty good taste Tony, shame it had to end like this.

 

[Tregard]

That's no moon...

 

[oti]

FWIW I've been reviewing Tri Force myself for a month now but I decided to not give it a score before geting more multiplayer sessions in. Singleplayer is... yeah. Servers were pretty empty so playing for a longer period of time online was next to impossible. For me at least.

 

[FATALITY]

destiny 9?
lol

 

[Bold One]

lol,
also is TTK really THAT good?

Yes it is

 

[Calabi]

Is that a moon?

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Further to the Triforce comments, my friend had to play through the whole game solo as he is a translator for Nintendo, and I think it is probably the first time I felt a little bad rather than insanely jealous

 

[Defuser]

Wow, I was expecting a 7 or 8 from EDGE regarding TTK but 9? Damn.

 

[Tillbo]

Reading the Zelda review it doesn't sound great. Playing solo seems very awkward and slow. Online is also restricted by the fact levels have to be possible alone and communication is difficult with a limited number of icons to use.

With download play, I guess local play would be good, but I am unlikely to be able to play that way a great deal...

 

[Paelias]

Edge clickbaiting as always with their ratings

 

[Majine]

Holy shit, that cover.

 

[Protome]

Edge clickbaiting as always with their ratings

Was there a specific review score you were aiming that absolutely nonsensical statement at?

None of them seem particularly out there.

 

[Visualante2]

Edge clickbaiting as always with their ratings

What a page turner

 

[Lifejumper]

Anything new about battlefront?

 

[GhaleonEB]

destiny 9?
lol

Nothing :lol about it. TTK was great and that's in line with other reviews.

Superb minimalist cover, look forward to reading this issue when it arrives in three weeks. :\

 

[Forkball]

The cover is the second Death Star: a half-finished technological marvel. Serves as a good mascot for AAA gaming.
