I am very surprised by this... I always thought Bayonetta looked cheap and tasteless, just seemed like another DMC clone.

Edge are very critical with they're reviews in general, even if it is a game they favour, they still tend to pull it apart. This might just warrant a purchase from me now!

Bold statement... Granted, it has always looked interesting and good, but I've been sat on the fence about it, and do fancy trying a demo before purchasing...Time will tell, I guess.

I almost don't believe it. Edge have the most critical reviews i've seen. That's not a bad thing by any means but go on Metacritic and look at some of the top rated games. Most often you'll see edge down the bottom with one of the lowest scores even if the game's been praised elsewhere. This game really must be something. Either that or it's been reviewed by someone on their first day of work who doesn't know yet that Edge don't do high scores

Lol, it must be good, but I can tell y just from the trailer that it's not flawless. There is only one flaw I noticed, but it's pretty major: the voice acting. My god(s), Bayonetta's voice is awful. I'm sure the voice actress is ok, but why would they choose such a cod English accent? At least if you're going to do that then get an English voiceover artist.

The rest of the characters are ok, not amazing, but it's just a trailer afterall, but having a main character with a voice that grates so badly is just unacceptable. I wonder what rating Edge would've given Awesome Possum (look it up, it's awesomely bad)?

Why on earth are OXM recommending Edge - least of all providing a link where people can have it delivered?

Same reason you get Edge adverts in the OXM magazine.

Sweet, sweet cash!

Because they are both published by Future Publishing Ltd.
