If I hadnt to practice ESPgaluda tonight I would start it, I will maybe create a thread later when my eyes are red enough and able to see random bullet patterns in my bedroom's wall.

Papasotirioy?These bookstores sell the mag for 6,30 euro, great deal considering you can find EDGE in Omonoia for 10 euro.

Exactly, thats why I continue buying EDGE in an age where every 2D title is a weird pornography B movie..Oh well this is getting old.I quit.

I disagree.If you know where to look, which search bars to type your key words, internet is information-heaven.Spend some nights checking and reviewing forums and sites for yourself.Dont expect everything out there is correct and original.Of course they are not, but familiriazing yourself with portals for fast and good information is not that much difficult.If I want Castlevania news, opinions and stuff Ill check 3-4 forums and 2 sites, same can be told for my import needs.Shmups in the other hand is a different story and one or two sites can make me happy.When i want to find more information Im beeing more
open-minded browsing sites I do not trust.And yes thats risky but also a rewarding experience.

I would really love to see more detailed information about Mushi Futari, EDGE has the obligation to consume its pages in hardware sales, industry future and plans, developer interviews and many dev houses advertisement. This magazine's main target is the late 20s early 30s year old seasoned English gamer / game industry professional. That's why they don't have the coverage people in this forum would like. I'm still bying it for some great industry coverage, interesting inbox section and some monthly sections.
This is a good EDGE review, very accurate.
