Edge 177

The July edition of Edge is on sale now. Behind its cover’s golden Wii Remote, you’ll find reports on DICE’s latest Battlefield game, Bad Company, which sees the series step into morally contentious territory, and Pandemic’s Saboteur, which puts you into the shoes of an Allied operative working to take down Nazi forces via subversion.

This issue’s cover feature looks at the Nintendo story, and traces its home console history from 1983 to the present day, examining the company’s hardware and software initiatives and highlighting its most successful, and not so successful, ventures to date.

Another stalwart of videogaming is explored in Final Frontiers, which takes an in-depth look at Square Enix and its sprawling Final Fantasy series. And from big games to small, we also assess the Flash gaming scene, picking out some bite-sized highlights from the countless examples out there on the internet.

Finally, in regulars, Time Extend takes on Space Channel 5 Part Two, while The Making Of… tells the story behind unreleased Saturn title Sonic X-treme.
