As we go live with two major relaunches, this site and our magazine, we thought this might be the perfect time to look back through Edge's history and pick out the landmark game reviews we've published.
In this survey of Edge's first 15 years of reviews, from 1993's issue E1 right up to 2008's E195, you'll find some legendary 10s and the launch games from several new generations of hardware.
As you look through the many highlights among the games we've chosen, you'll notice that not all are perhaps the best games we've ever covered. Indeed, look out for some missteps we've made along our 18 year journey, though, of course, everybody's opinion is different.
But whatever you feel about this list, it tells a story about how videogames - and Edge - have developed since we put our first issue out on September 2, 1993. One about creativity and inspiration, of conservatism and incremental development, of passion and nostalgia.

5I remember this game when i first picked the 360 up on day one ! What a fantastic game the graphics and sound blew me away it would still hold up today.
Enlighten us, please. Perhaps it has to do with me surfing the site on an iPad, but I have no idea which game you are talking about :)
Some amazing reviews in here, bringing back the memories. Any chance of a complete Review Database with all reviews in the near future, with the new website and all?
I second this enquiry. Mostly because I want to see why EDGE gave Severance: Blade of Darkness a [2] when its core game predated Demon's Soul's by a good seven years. Plus, would love to read all those old reviews.
I wish you would review a few more new games. The review section on the website and the magazine is hardly representative of the quantity of games being released.
