By the way, Next Gen was EDGE's sister magazine. So if you liked Next Gen and see a copy of Edge, give it a shot. From what I hear, they're similar (although Edge is the original and therefore the best :P )

I REALLY love Edge. MILES better than Games TM and well worth its (mildly extortionate) price. :)

Just about every magazine from the UK costs around $9 in the US. It's the price we pay for import magazines, just like the extra cost for import games.


I believe I've checked out the edge on occasion. Most of the one's at Barnes and Noble are sealed in a plastic bag, so there's been very little chance of looking through it, without purchasing the mag. Maybe next time I see an issue, I'll pick it up. It's always cool to see what's going on in the UK.

I thought the first two issues of GamesTM were ghastly. Issue 5 seems a lot better, so I'll probably continue to buy it in future. I have to agree with red_war_machine tho. Despite all it's problems, Edge is still the better magazine of the two. The things that really makes Edge with buying are its features, and the features in GamesTM so far haven't really been up to much.

Later.

I've been a fan of UK import mags for about nine years now. I don't buy them too often now, but when I do, they never fail to be worth the high price tag.

Have you ever read the official Sega Saturn magazines from the UK? They were beyond excellent. The large screen shots and dedication to import games from Japan were all great. How a market smaller than the US gets better magazines, is beyond me.:bang:

Edge has stoped giving grades btw, I look forward to the next issue.

Yeah, I've read that mag. The chief editor supposedly writes for a PSX mag now.

Gamevet, I loved that mag. I'm also a huge fan of Computer and Video Games mag.

They still grade games, at the end of each review there was a ? symbol, yet the scores can all be found further on in the magazine. Living in the UK Im not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to quality gaming magazines, I have bought Edge since its first issue whilst GamesTM is a not too far off second. There is really nothing else worth bothering with here, too many offical magazines and media aimed at prepubescant kids.

I was at Barnes and Noble this weekend and happened upon the last issue of a magazine called Games (TM) from the UK. Didn't think much of it, but decided to browse through the pages, as the cover reminded me of the first issues of Next Gen. Magazine.

:lol: I could've made the exact same post. I was at B&N too this past weekend and I picked up Games.. well, just re-read your post :).

I also agree w/you on the quality of the mag - it's something I'd subscribe to in an instant if an American version was ever published.

What I ended up picking up that day however was some UK Xbox mag - mainly because it had a naked woman on the cover. And a free DVD and Halo strategy guide.
