6	Part of the magazine's image is that of positioning itself as a more "sophisticated" alternative to other gaming publications, and it notably aims for an older and more educated demographic than many of its rivals. To that end, it has regular features on game development tools (e.g. ''Codeshop'') and has a section dedicated to recruitment ads from game companies. It also publishes an annual "Get into Games" supplement, for those wishing to join the industry.

8	It is also well known for its strict scoring policy: an "Edge 10" is highly sought after, with ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' being the first game to receive this honor. As with ''Famitsu''[[note]]A famous Japanese video game magazine with a similar reputation for stinginess in its assignment of perfect scores[[/note]], a perfect score from Edge is no longer quite the blue-moon occurrence it once was, with more than a third of the magazine's 10-scoring reviews given within six years (nine perfect-scoring reviews between 2007 and 2012, with 2012 being the only year in which a perfect-scoring game was not released); nevertheless, a high score from Edge is still quite the bragging right for a game. It is also famous for not having bylines on any of its articles (except those written by columnists).
