Edge #188

[Professor Rob]

Got the email today, got the mag yesterday.

Ditto. Perhaps we'll get another copy next week.

[Mr Do 71]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[mushashi]

Best thing about this issue is the return of decent quality paper

Mario Kart Wii, at least the online sounds like it'll be a laugh.

It's a bit too shiny now. Better than Izal still, but not as good as Andrex.

[Zathras]

I think they must have changed paper half way through printing my issue.

This. The 25 page advertorial must have paid for the super glossy stuff and there was a bit left over afterwards..

[Monkeyboy]

The Metal Gear Solid article was a bit rubbish. Pages and pages of nothing.

Didn't you want to know in great depth what Konami's office furniture looked like?

ha

I thought the same... skimmed the entire article and there's barely anything in it other than Kojima says he'll never make a WiiFit. Erm.. go him. He's over-rated anyway.

[RadgyAdgy]

Is the May issue on sale in the shops yet? I couldnt see it in Tesco but i'll go check WH Smiths if it is out now.

[Miner Willy]

Contrasting with last month, there's almost nothing in this issue that I'm interested in reading. The only thing that has me excited is Lure of the Temptress - I loved that game so much. Such a great opening.

[Eighthours]

The Metal Gear Solid article was a bit rubbish. Pages and pages of nothing.

I thought it was interesting. Certainly made the game sound like a pretty flawed piece of self-indulgence, with occasional brilliance. So, much like MGS2 onwards, then.

Weren't exactly gushing over it, were they? Seven or eight is my guess.

In the cutscenes you can follow a little girl around a house with a camera, so it should do well with a certain segment of the market.

[Teeohbee.]

Hmmm Fable 2 Hype and Time Extend Freedom Fighters...

Any good?

my smiths and GS had it

The Fable 2 preview makes me want to play the game right now.

Shannon Matthews' stepdad must be praying they've got a telly that can manage 1080p in there.

It's actually Otacon's flying fortress (a converted C-6 Galaxy I think?), but yes, they've given the kid shorts instead of a skirt for a reason. I'd love to go to the Konami Super Campus though, it sounds awesome.

The article sounded positive, I thought. They admitted it had issues (what game doesn't?) but seemed genuinely impressed that they could spend four years making a game with 150 people and still make it seem like the work of a single mind.

[Rex Grossman]

Got the email today, got the mag yesterday.

Same here.

[scottcr]

this is actually one of the most dull Edge's I've read in ages.

dull dull dull.

[angel]

so was it our alex w in the letters page winning a DS?

[scottcr]

that's what I thought...

and his letter was rubbish.

[divine visitor]

The front of this month's Edge looks better than the actual Euro MGS4 boxart. For shame, Konami.

[Super Craig]

that's what I thought...

and his letter was rubbish.

I don't know why you've included the winky. It was.

[scottcr]

It was

[angel]

it was fine

[Spacehost]

It won me a DS, so obviously it was brilliant.

[angel]

you?

[Alex W.]

PlayStation Boy there needed some proper games hardware, so I obliged him.
