Edge (magazine)

"The world’s most respected multiformat videogame magazine"

- Edge, describing itself with characteristic modesty.

Edge is a UK-based multiformat "videogame culture" magazine from Future Publishing (who also publish the official UK magazines for Xbox 360, PlayStation, and Nintendo).

Its sophisticated writing style and art direction have earned it respect among developers as well as gamers. To that end, it has regular features on game development tools (e.g. Codeshop) and has a section dedicated to recruitment ads from game companies. It also publishes an annual "Get into Games" supplement, for those wishing to join the industry.

It is also well known for its strict scoring policy: an "Edge 10" is highly sought after, with Super Mario 64 being the first game to receive this honor. 8.8 is common with these guys, since for most titles getting a 6 or 7 is a grand honor. It is also famous for not having bylines on any of its articles (except those written by columnists).

Its official website is http://www.next-gen.biz.

An American version was published from 1995 through 2002 as Next Generation.
