I want to know about the future of the industry, and if we'll still be playing games in 10 years time...

I don't give a crap about the industry, I want to know what games are fun and what aren't.

But the thing is that it is actually more like a magazine, not a review laden piece of crap.

Every other type of magazine has articles and points of view on subjects, but what do gamers get? Some old news, 20 page reviews, a help page and a letters page. Woooo.

Edge analyse the industry, they don't suck up to it.

Edge is rubbish.


They remind me of english teachers; they don't want to enjoy a good book, they want to anylise it line by line and explore every possible avenue. It's no wonder they don't sodding enjoy any of the games they play.

Bunch of miserable barst*rds.

Pity how they give all the rest of the games 70% then, isn't it?

And that crappy Teletext probably will have done for reaction.

EDGE

Multi-format

I believe the rest all rank games extremely high just so the publishers keep sending them free games. In NGC, NOM and Cube, the average score is about 7, which isn't in the middle at all.

Edge are fair, and the only reason more people don't like it is because it contrasts with what THEY believe a game should get - they don't want 'Mindless Shoot 'em Up 6 - Guns, Gunz, Girls' to get a 4 after all the hype it got.

Bah.

Never mind
