Edge is nice, very professional. But i don't agree with their ranking system. They act as if all consoles have the same version of the game, when in fact, there are going to be differences with framerates and such. They really need to explore each console seperately.
A good example is Splinter Cell, which in most PS2 mags scored higher than similar Xbox mags gave it. This doesn't mean it's a better game, just better in comparison to what the particular console can do (if they score games properly).
I only really buy mags for the demo disks (which, since i've had broadband, is now just xbox mags) and the occasional copy of edge. Whilst i can get pretty much everything i need off gamespot, having a hard copy to read is much better, so i don't need to be on my computer all the time. Mags tend to spoil the game too. I've been avoiding everything Halo 2 related to keep it nice and special when i play it (much like it was when playing Halo, although from different methods). So far, I just looked at Gamespots score, to check it didn't do a Daikatana and saw a bit of a TV commerial.
I do like to read reviews after i've played the game though, to see if my views agree with the reviewers and because i tend to forget everything.
