EDGE is on of the UK’s most popular gaming magazines, offering information on up-and-coming games on every gaming platform. The magazine is also highly respected with its ratings, and is considered to be the ‘who’s who’ guide for the British gaming world.
The site itself displays important information about the latest issue on the home page, informing surfers of the main articles, game reviews featured and front cover, as well as screen shots from games featured in the issue. The job vacancy bar is unusual for a magazine site and is located to the right of the lasted news feed displaying job offers from game related companies. Above this is the main navigation bar, featuring console, PC and portable in which game reviews are listed. There is also an ‘out there’ tab featuring special interest stories. Surfer’s can also subscribe to the magazine via the website or apply for jobs with the actual magazine (not gaming developers – as previously mentioned). There is also a noticeably large discussion forum, which can be edited by subscribers (interactivity and consumer contribution) allowing surfers to discuss particular games i.e. sharing information about difficulties with game play or opinions on specific game attributes. It should also be noted that the website has posted a FAQ list of every question published in past issues of the magazine.
