As an aside, I'm happy that Rhythm Doctor is becoming a full game - I S-ranked everything in the web version and enjoyed it enough to throw a donation at the maker  

 

I was expecting a Labo cover story and exclusive blowout considering their luxury of monthly issues, but I'm guessing they need time to get facts and publish a good story rather than the mad hype that's going around the internet?

Blockchains? Seriously?

Ooh, that's a nice advance review they've got there. With that, the articles on Underworld Ascendant, Fe, Pyre, Dishonored, and the Minds and Bodies feature I'm looking forward to my copy of Edge falling through the door!

Sorry, I meant that they gave Yakuza 6 eight out of ten, not that they've received the next two games as well.

[Wiper]

I know, it's just that that's the first Western review I've seen of Y6, and a few months in advance of release.

Loving that cover.

Yeah. Spot varnish*, foils, text reversed out of the image; that's the stuff of yer classic Edge design. N-i-i-i-ce.

 

The skull design itself is pretty clever, too. Props to the cover designer for this one.

*I'm not saying this has been spot varnished, just that that's the kind of finishing you get in classic Edge,

I'm still irritated we have to wait until April for Yakuza 6, cooooooooooome on Sega!

Time Extend looks back on Dishonored. Excellent. 

[Jamie John]

Pleased with the MH score. That's gone straight to the top of my list. I'm a little disappointed they didn't bother with a SotC remaster review, although I understand why they haven't done one.

 

Is Sea of Thieves a timed exclusive, or an exclusive exclusive?

Blockchains are going to be huge for gaming, just you wait.

It's first party MS so Xbox/Windows exclusive.

[womblingfree]

I still have Yakuaza 4, 5 and 0 to finish. So obviously day 1 for 6.

Been using them for a while now in the FG scene. Rather old hat now, dear boy.

Am I the only one who hasn’t got a clue what a blockchain is?

That's Rare's own art

[smac]

Props to Rare's artists, then!

I cancelled my edge subscription last night. I'd had it about 20 years, but the last couple of months are still bagged. It was clearly time.

[SeanR]

at least with the nonsub cover you can see what it is...
