On The Edge - FINAL ROUND (Apr)

Here we go then. The final round of this season of On The Edge is here, and four competitors are withing touching distance of the title. Who can push those final few yards and claim the prize? Only time wil tell.

On The Edge is a competition based on predicting the scores from next months Edge magazine. I'll give you a list of games that you have to rate, and you score points based on how accurate those guesses are when the mag is released. It's 5 points for being bang on target, 3 for one point away, and 1 for two points away.

Also, once per month, you get to use your EDGEBREAKER. You do this by bolding or colouring one of your selections. For this choice only, you will score double points, so a maximum 10 for bang on. Use it wisely!

I'll tot up the scores each month and run a leaderboard, so make sure you play every month. I'll let the leaderboard run for six months before we declare an overall winner.

Good luck everyone, this time next month we will have our champion. Exciting, no?

I'm going to study these scores. The Edgebreaker is SO important for this round.

Indeed. I've gone for Resi 5, which is a surefire review, but a difficult score to predict. If I knew for a fact Empire: Total War was going to be reviewed I'd go with that, as that's a definite 8/9.

Yeah, my Edgebreaker could yet change (as it did last month). I'm certain Resi 5 will feature, but the score's tough to predict. I'm confident of Riddick's score, but then I'm not sure it'll be reviewed.

I know, I meant in terms of timescale, ie are they reviewing it this issue or the next one.

The game is due out on the 4th of March, way before a lot of the others you've listed.
