[on gaming as punishment] "I once made one of my kids program a game on the TI 99/4a from a book. It was beautiful punishment. He was excited at first to program a game to play, but the look on his face when he came up from the basement after 2 hours of typing was priceless. 'I typed all that for this stupid, crappy bouncing ball game?!' Ha! welcome to 1980, pal!"

[on making the XBLA top 3 slot for Scramble Co op]"...we might have done even better - had my missus not mosied in front of the telly at a fairly crucial moment - and then started writing rude messages on a piece of paper then shoving them under my nose. She just doesn't understand my art."

"I'm genuinely struggling to read FEDGE these days. There was a review of something cute and fun in this months' issue (the PC cover) and it got a 7 so that's fine but I just could not make my way through the copy. It was torture, utter torture. The writer simply could not bring himself to admit that he was having a laugh PLAYING a GAME. He just couldn't say it - so instead seemed to have a mental breakdown of the sort that bloke in a Beautiful Mind was having. Stuff like Total Film, Arena and even the fucking Guardian prove that you can be intelligent, serious, and entertaining, even funny if you want to be, without having to write like you're in the Lower Sixth and have just been sucked off by Karl Marx while simultaneously having your prostate stimulated by the greased finger of fucking Wittgenstein. Honest - it's the closest I have ever come to giving up on Edge. I know I'm an idiot for buying it but right now it's EXACTLY like sleeping with a girl you once loved but now can't stand to be in the same room with, unless that being in the same room consists entirely of shagging and then holding afterwards but with your eyes closed and pretending it was two years before. You do it because you can't let go and because, more honestly, you're frightened that nothing better is going to come along and that if you stop reading Edge you'll die alone and full of regret for the issues you missed when wanking into a copy of Official Playstation Magazine."

Crackdown!

Oh blimey loves it's good, it's very good. Bollocks to the Halo 3 beta invite - you wants to be spending some serious time with this punch to GTA's knackers. Where GTA is all about sparcely populated worlds filled with broadly linear missions, Crackdown is set in a City teeming with life and action under an agenda you, the player, get to set down. The result is an exciting change of direction for the sandbox crime sim - Rockstar take note...

Elsewhere this issue we get time with the legendary Owen Rubin who talks candidly of the Atari coin-op division early days - yep, they had a fucking blast boys and girls. Arcade Nirvana. We also give you a chance to forget the greatest gaming experiences you ever had and we fall down A LOT - just for you.

Dig in dear readers! Dig in! There's Original Spirit in them thar hills!

PS This issue is the first one we've built entirely out of our new in-house content-management system. We call it Snowflake and hope the fucking thing makes it easier for us to get the mag right each month - if you spot any fuck ups, especially browser bollocks and that, please let us know so that we can pretend to want to do something about it. Thanks loves!

Look! Over there! T Shirts!

Haven't you bought one of these yet?.
