Source: EDGE – Issue Number 181 – November 2007
Edge was is a magazine that was published in the U.K. that was sort of the sister magazine to Next Generation in the states. At least, they shared some of the same content. If you liked one, you would probably like the other and I really liked Next Generation. Now 2007 really isn’t all that retro to me. Games like Halo 3 and RockBand just seem a little old. However, 13 years is a long time and if you were playing these games when you were 13 there is no doubt they will be retro to you. The November 2007 issue of Edge includes:
