8. Edge
URL: edge-online.comPlatform: Multi
Focus: Broadsheet-style industry stories and in-depth reviews.
Best Feature: The legendary yearly awards. With it's first issue printed in 1993, Edge is one of only a handful of gaming magazines that can claim to have survived for over two decades. Famous for its anonymous writing style and industry connections, Edge Magazine is just about the highest standard of games journalism money can buy. Edge's website doesn't hold up
quite as well as the printed magazine (hey, they've got to make money somehow), but it still contains some of the best written reviews and news pieces on the web. Notoriously difficult to please, Edge has awarded only 16 games with its coveted 10/10 score in its 21-year run. If Edge says that a game is worth playing, you can be damned sure that it is. Despite lacking the fast and furious output of many sites on this list, Edge is a classic example of quality over quantity.
