I saw it in the shops today. Depends where you're looking - some supermarkets won't stock it because of its dimensions.

It's like Super Paper Mario. You have to turn sideways to see it. Thats why they call it Edge.

I'm not e-man, Im me. I had Dalagonash on my friends list for a while, then one day I was going through his and added a few names I'd seen on GR. You were one of those lucky enough to have been chosen!

It was just after Geometry Wars 2 cos I wanted more people on friends list who were playing it so I could challenge the scores that come up in the top right of the screen.

Ah, maybe that's not in place yet - but seriously, that's why a lot of mags have been losing inches, it's something to do with fitting more mags per shelf.

Bastard supermarkets ruing my nice fat NGamer dimensions... I remember when NGC had its first overhaul and was the size of a small house but they changed it due to the fact no letter box could handle it... not that that stops the postman round here. :evil:

Wide NGC was amazing. It was practically square! :)

The new edge is pretty chunky. Although to be honest I'm not all that interested in a 30 page article on game development in Scunthorpe.

Nice bedsheets.

Articles about videogame developers and development would be highly interesting if those development houses weren't situated in England and the creators of such terrible crap. I actually find those GET INTO GAMES booklets soul destroying. You have a producer from EA going on about making a Harry Potter game (actual example btw), and it's just...for one, all that kind of stuff destroys the magic of playing games. These sentences are going nowhere. I mean...they're like business pamphlets. It's all a bit...mundane. Yeah, we're looking for someone who can precisely model the eyebrows of soliders. That's his speciality. I hate how videogames have become like that. Because at least with films, you have a director with a vision. Not many.

You read about how the creator of Katamari Demacy and also Ico were creatives who chose to go into videogames for all the right reasons. And in Britain, I just get the sense every developer is a dull professional. The whole creative aspect doesn't exist. Obviously because of reasons out of their control, or whatever, but I really don't believe they're all visionaries waiting for their chance to full with the conventions of videogames.

That it's a business and you work in an office like everyone else, working on something you couldn't give a strawberry float about, like everyone else.

It's like when bands say they expected the music industry to be full of creatives and get signed realise how business-led it is. Or something. And those booklets and pages and pages of, say, some developer who creates a 2-D version Splinter Cell for mobile phones kind of lets everyone else into this incredibly dull world, that if you love videogames, actually kills your passion for it.

Anyway, what I mean is I don't buy edge anymore because they put the odd feature onto their website. Now I don't have to wade through the previews section, which, honestly, causes me great unhappines. It's no exaggeration.

Not true. It is fun and you don't lose your love of games.

Yeck, I didn't like that chunky NGC. I remember the pages kept falling out and how are you supposed to fit it in your bag?
