  Hmmm a bit harsh maybe?   I like to see stuff in development rather than
finished shots maybe a month before its released, thats why I buy edge. I do
think that this "infinite polygon engine" stuff is a bit silly, why not just
be honest and say they are using a scaling technology, but I suppose if
you're writing/promoting/funding a game you want to hype it.

cheers
Matt
