iPhone game creators Mobigame — the French studio behind retro-future cubist platformer Edge have been locked in an ongoing battle with one Tim Langdell, trademark owner of the word ‘Edge’ since his early 80s home computer publishing house Edge Games was in operation, who has since been vociferously defending the mark at all opportunities, when clear common sense would dictate that there’d be laughably little dilution with his sparse output since the days of the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.
A short list of the companies that have apparently settled with Langdell and licensed the name or otherwise stepped out of his way include UK magazine Edge, Namco — whose Soul Edge game would be released in the west as Soul Blade, 1997 Anthony Hopkins movie The Edge, Malibu comics character Edge and any Marvel comic with the word in the title.
Also after the click: the hilariously tactless logo for probably-vaporware game Mirrors, which I am too lazy to embed here because I am sleepy.
