Edge

I have been a reader since the start and it's still a GREAT magazine, it's not just the reliable reviews, it's the games i would never have found without them being featured in the magazine in one place or another and it's still a joy to read to this day.

Long May EDGE Live!!

I buy this every month and i love it every time i get one because it is always up to date with every console known to man and i have every console known to man which is good for me as i need to known everything about games.

If you are an adult who is still into video games then this is the magazine for you. Games are reviewed fairly and with a sense of perspective regarding games that have gone before. Games hyped elsewhere rarely achieve a nine in edge and a ten is something really sought after. The articles are sometimes a little pompous, as are the frequent attempts to link video games to high art, but overall this is an excellent magazine, and the definitive word when it comes to defining the best in interactive entertainment.

Overall exellent magazine

Beautiful presentation,factual and detailed. Removes itself from the rest of its competitors with a pretentious air and bills itself as an entity which it has done since 1993. Too serious? Sometimes,remembering that this is a games magazine after all,but still a good read after all these years is still a good read. The life span of this title is incredible in this market. Still the best mature read out there.

Edge - the magazine that dragged videogames out of the teenager's bedroom and into the living room, under the widescreen telly for everyone to see.

Seminal PS1 racer WipEout is generally credited with making games 'cool' and a subject that could be discussed in the pub, but in reality it is Edge that lead the way. The stylishly minimalist design, the well written reviews, the no-nonsense approach to the subject of gaming - all things that have made Edge the leading 'mature' games tome. Recently, there has been some stiff competition from GamesTM, but with it's heritage, EDGE is still the most respected UK mag. A bit like the UK version of Famitsu.

However, the one criticism I have is that Edge sometimes takes itself a bit too seriously. While the mag is really well produced, where is the fun? The in-jokes and the ribbing of fellow reviewers (ala Sega Power/Amiga Power/CVG) is pretty much non-existent.

With a bit of humour thrown in, Edge would be the perfect mag. Untill then, GamesTM will be getting my cash.

Edge is the most well respected, professional and mature gaming magazine you can buy. They can be trusted with news, features and don't hold back when it comes to giving a bad review. I really liked living meekishly under kerayzee notions that all games were good. I don't anymore.
