EDGE made their bed. (sure, they will pick up a few extra sales from sony's mob, but their complete lack of respect for Nintendo, and their sony nut hugging ways will have turned a lot of MS/Ninty fans away from the magazine)

Gotta love the "i ought to mention Nintendo: poor Nintendo, There you go" line too. (what a tosser)

When they go under due to complete bias, they will only have themselves to blame.

Would a Nintendo gamer even read EDGE magazine? (serious question)

Well, you are in the UK like myself, and all 3 consoles did exceptionally well here this gen (as in not much to seperate them sales wise), so yes, i would say there are a lot of Nintendo and Microsoft fans who (or now used to) buy EDGE magazine.

If you are a fan of one over the other two, but still have an interest in the others, its either EDGE or GamesMaster that you turn to for your multiplatform gaming magazine needs right?

Hence GamesMaster all the way for me now.

Yes.

Edge loves Nintendo games... Mario Galaxy 1 &2 and Zelda received perfect score... others Nintendo games received a lot of 8 and 9 too.

Hnece GamesMaster all the way for me now.

Heh, I was mainly talking about the strictly one console owners. Because tbh.. I can't see many picking up the mag for the little part of Nintendo section (or whatever) they have in there. With multiplatform stuff being the bulk of it.. but fair enough, I guess :P

And yeah, they're pretty much the only two decent gaming magazines left in the UK for unbiased views, reviews and multiplatform coverage. Also on GamesMaster.. I've always prefered them to Edge. I find their reviews to be spot on (most of the time).

Edit: Opps. Forgot about GamesTM magazine.

Yeah, i've been a massive fan of GamesMaster magazine since in started in 1993.

Ah nice, that long ago huh? Didn't realise that it's been going since 93! I don't buy the magazine anymore but my brother still does and when I go around his, I usually have a good flick though.

I remember watching the show back then (gotta love the 90's). Loved it so much. Such a shame they stopped filming it.

A shame indeed hinch.

Still, pretty much every episode ever made is up on youtube (for those trips down memory lane).

They managed to snag a fair few decent celebrities for the celebrity vs. no mark kid segment too.

Having an opinion doesn't mean your biased. Edge was harsh towards the PS3 and 1st party games, very harsh in the first 3 years. Now that they like the PS4 they are biased?

They have an opinion just like everyone here and on other sites. Then again anyone who says anything bad about a topic is automatically biased and a fanboy lol


so putting on the front cover of there magiazne  "this is your next console" on top of a ps4 with no sight of the x1 isnt biased?   showing a tank version of the ps4 and a helemt that was shot with the xbox logo on it isnt biased?

Depends. If it were a PS mag then yeah.

Edge hated the PS3. Actually hated and shitted on the PS3 often.

Now they hate the Xbox One. 

Is that biased? Are they getting paid by Sony? Did they get paided by Microsoft last gen or something? They have an opinion and expressed it. No biased just stating their opinion

That article is pure rubbish

''Microsoft does have the USP of its HDMI input. My co-op shooter comrade-in-arms announced sarcastically that he was going to buy an Xbox One just so that he could plug his PS4 into it, and play only PS4 games through the Xbox interface. I’m not quite sure how this would stick it to The Man – after all, Microsoft would still get one more sale out of it – although if a console was capable of feeling humiliation, an Xbone used exclusively in this way would probably want the ground to open up and swallow it up.''

This part is pure gold though.
