On the Edge

Dear Future Gamer

The comments about Edge being anti-Sega biased in FG35 are, in my opinion, unjustified. I'm not keen on Sony or Sega, but have to admit that they do produce good consoles. Sega Rally 2 is a good game but is nothing special. 8/10 seems like a good mark for a game that's overshadowed by lots of racers from Codemasters and Europress and it's not a good showcase for the Dreamcast.

Sony, on the other hand, tried to market the PlayStation on hype, and while Edge were slightly affected by this, the quality of games released at launch and after was easily better than anything the Saturn had to offer. Sony are now trying to claw their way back against the Dreamcast by taking excellent products off the market, like Bleem!.

Edge, with Future Gamer, have now returned to excellent industry-related coverage with little bias and are treating gaming as a serious hobby.

FG: I'm sure everyone on Edge will be pleased to hear that. Edge, and Future Gamer, don't give two hoots who make a game - if it's great we'll both tell you about it, and if it's absolute dross, we'll both let you know that too.
