A) No Zelda review, jsuit a rubbishy 'preplay'.
and B) The star letter simply stated how good 4way multiplayer is.
Well done.
*claps slowly*
At least I'd have a chance of winning summat though......

NOM to me don't make much sense. They criticise game but still give them high marks.
For example the latest issues Bounty hunter review criticises the shooting elements for being very samey and repetetive....now slap me if I'm wrong but that's the main part of game and they say it's samey and boring. But the game still comes out with a high mark.
Insane.
I buy NOM for something else to read when I'm done with NGC, Cube is terrible, there's so little text and some of their review scores are so bloody high it's just not worth the money.
9/1 for Virtua Striker? someone should get fired over that.

That was supposed to say 9.1 for Virtua Striker.

I agree, though you should give them more credit for their previews. The reviews need to be worked on (detail, writing and scores) but they're definately not biased. That's what I want to stress.

Have to agree with you here - I own both issues of GamesTM and it's the best magazine I've ever read. Edge is boring and just tries to be something it's not. It's rubbish.

Sophisticated, different, grown-up, ahead of everyone. It's not. They should take a leaf out of the glorious book of GamesTM.

Horses for courses.
I've always found Edge's articles insightful and interesting. A particular favourite of mine being the Dance Games article that they ran a couple months ago. Their reviews can sometimes be a mixed bag for me, but they serve as a guide more than anything for me.

Edge is a mixed bag, they take a unique perspective of the industry... some of their writers aren't that interesting either.
Gee I can talk.
