This month’s EDGE review scores are as follows:

Dark Souls II – 9
Thief – 7
Yoshi’s New Island – 4
Earth Defense Force 2025 – 5
Strike Vector – 7
Strider – 7
TxK – 9

About the Yoshi’s New Island review: EDGE criticized a whole lot in its article – the lack of new ideas, the controls, level design, 3D implementation, and music.

EDGE finished its review with the following:

No one part of Yoshi’s New Island is ruinous by itself, but the sum is so much less than the 20-year-old parts from which it’s cobbled together. No one deserves to be duped by the Crayola box art into expecting a true sequel t oa childhood-gulping adventure, which is still counted among the most innovative 16bit games of the mid-’90s. Arzest has laid an egg here, but not of the golden variety.

Thanks to joclo for the tip.
