I've played both Fallout 3 and Fable 2. I love shooters and RPGs the same amount. I haven't noticed many glitches on either, and the only slowdown I've ever had on Fable 2 was during a massive spell with tons of enemies.

To me, Fallout 3 failed miserable as a shooter, and was a decent RPG. The aiming system was a joke, though VATS helped make up for it. Fable 2 was fantastic, as both an adventure game, and as an RPG where you choose your own path. It had problems though, as my review will show in a day or a few.

Still, I'm surprised about the score they gave Resistence 2. I HIGHLY doubt it should be that low. I think EDGE rates a huge amount on the innovation a game has to offer.

 

You're opinion is absolutely fine...just don't use Edge as any sort of justification for it. Let it stand on its own.

Them giving the game a 9/10 is contrary to their reputation as harsh reviewers, at least we can both agree on that point.

 

I've never read/heard of EDGE's reviews before, so the list on the front page is the only of their reviews I've ever seen. Fable 2 getting a 9/10 after they gave Gears 2 and L4D a 9/10 seems too high. By their standards, I'd think it an 8, though a 7 is too low imo(Better then Banjo, worse then Gears 2) So yeah, I do agree with you there.

And I'm glad there are some people here who don't go ballistic because someone disagrees with them.
