GMR having (mostly) great covers stops this one being great?

Oh right I forgot, it's because it's about Nintendo. As no Edge covers not about Nintendo are praised.

Welcome to GameFan in the mid-90s

It actually reminds me more of Next Generation in the mid-90s. Blasto anyone?

When was the last time Edge gave a Criterion game a low score? What did Revenge get in Edge?

Drill Dozer (NDS, Nintendo): 7

What's that?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

What's that?

a 7 is a good score in edge

unless youre referring to the platform, which is obviously a typo.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

What's that?

GBA platformer. A good one.

Does drill dozer stick out of the slot like warioware twisted?

Yes.

 

[hadareud]

there's a spelling mistake in the DS article. Edge is losing it

Sega Rally 2006 (PS2, Sega): 5


...

Instant buy regardless. I'll judge for myself but I've already lowered expectations to lower disapointment.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

I think there is a new candidate for worst Magazine ever.

 

[sprsk]

But Tim Follin is doing the music for PSP Lemmings...

sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy what?

 

[Thomper]

I think you're a troll who hates a magazine for a bad score.

"Long Live Live Arcade"

nice

My favourite Edge cover was back in 2001 when they first reviewed Halo. FXXK on the front cover, using the Xbox "X" logo in between the F and K.

Good article too, you should get the mag when it's out (should be in the shops next week I think). Other interesting 360 stuff in as well.

 

[Prine]

will do. Been meaning to get Edge mag for some time now. Might re-subscribe with them

Is it still £60 a year?

 

[polg]

why is it so expensive

I love EDGE but not even a subscription would make sense in NZ...

I'll just stick to buying only 3-4 a year

it's 9.99 a quarter now, I still subscribed at the old price of 64 quid or so. Luckily running out soon, so I'll get to safe some money by re-subscribing as well.

PM me, maybe we can arrange something.

sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy what?

Tim Follin did the music for the PSP version of Lemmings, here is an interview with him on Gamasutra:

Follin is still involved in games, to some capacity. "I’m just finishing the music for Lemmings on the PSP," he said. "It’s been a pretty tight deadline and I’ve never done as much music in as little time before. I’ve also had to do the sound effects and lemming speech, which was fun!" Follin has no other game projects lined up for the future, and it's entirely possible that Lemmings might be his video game swan song, so to speak. "It looks as though I might be heading for a change of career," he said. "I’ll just have to wait and see!"

And now he has also posted a farwell to video game music note on his website

Fuck, who in their right mind let you in?

 

[djtiesto]

Brother has been playing Drill Dozer like mad, but he let me try the second level... I really liked what I've played, though it takes a bit of time (like 10 minutes) to get used to the drilling mechanics. Looking forward to playing this one through when he's done.

Surprised at only a 6 for Peach... what's the problem, too easy?

But then again, this is the same mag that gave Gunstar Heroes a 6 =D

A DS with some clouds around it? HOLY SHIT I HAVE NEVER SEEN SUCH AN AWESOME MAGAZINE COVER.

 

[pilonv1]

Indeed.

Mine will have to be issue 100 with the Miyamoto sketch. Or recently the red Revolution one was interesting as well as the Edge awards issue. Sometimes, like the PS3 issue last month, the cover can be rather generic. I never care too much for their reviews, but I love the features. They even got Si Scott to illustrate one of them last month, which shows their difference from any other games mag when it comes to style.

btw. dunno if anyone mentioned this, but there is now a searchable database for all of Edge's twelve years of reviews scores at Edge-Online itself.
