EDGE & GAMEStm are the best quality gaming mags in existence.

Proper professional journalism & both stick rigidly to 5 being an average review score. Anyone in the US who wants to read some of the highest quality gaming journalism should import both these mags.

kazuma5782d ago

no question about that, but 7 for alone in the dark? =\

Euphrate5782d ago

They gave one of the greatest games to hit the industry ( MGS4) a 8/10 and HALO 3 a 10//10.

EDGE STOPS THERE.

LTC5782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

Edge are one of the worst out there. 8/10 for NG2 a game that has 79 average on Metacritic and giving the same score to MGS4 which has an average of 95 is unacceptable. They also gave Halo and GTA 10/10 when clearly both games are below MGS4 in quality.

There reviews are all over the place and I rarely take them seriously.

Big Jim5782d ago

I used to respect Edge because they're hard on games, and I like reviewers to be hard on games. But then Edge gave Halo 3 a 10. How can you respect any magazine that gives Halo 3 a 10? Edge is retarted.

WIIIS15782d ago

The same way people respect reviewers who give MGS4 a 10 and call it a cinematic masterpiece - gawd, the dialogue is so contrived!

NGII same score as MGS4???

I love EDGE, but seriously...

...not even funny.

Xi5782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

... for different folks.

Every game this day and age has to be reviewd with regards to so many factors.
genre
platform
fanbase/history
etc.

I would never consider mario galaxy getting a 10 in graphics compared to crysis, but it's worth a 10 on the wii. GTA gets a ten because compared to all the other sandbox games it still feels the best.

How they rationalized the score they give to NG2 and MGS4 need to be taken with a grain of salt, like what's it's competetion, what's the hype, who's the developer, whats the fanbase like, how is it for casual gamers, what platform is it on, etc.

heyheyhey5782d ago

tell me about it...

played MGO today (a lot)- it alone should justify a higher score for MGS than NG

WIIIS15782d ago (Edited 5782d ago )

NG2 is a more visceral and enjoyable action game than MGS4.

MGS4 has better presentation, graphics, cinematics and storyline.

Both are imperfect

But I appreciate that NG2 does not pretend to be more than a fighting action game, and that in NG2 you get to play the coolest parts of the game rather than sit back and watch them and think "why can't I execute anything remotely similar to those moves ingame with Snake?".

TheDeadMetalhead5782d ago

Although that's the first moderately good score for Alone In the Dark.

heyheyhey5782d ago

GT just posted their video review- it's pretty positive

don't know what IGN was thinking- they were way too harsh

niall775782d ago

but the Pro Bias they have for UK developers is well known.

ps360s5782d ago

EDGE...First Metal Gear Solid 4 getting lower then Halo 3 and now NG2 getting same score as MGS4!

I will put 7/10 for NG2...good game but not better then MGS4 in my opinion.

I didn't mind Halo 3 getting a 10 (since it's their opinion and I do like the game) but when they gave MGS4 a 8 I thought wtf! Now something is wrong...

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
