As i often say, Edge is the only magazine that actually rates games on a scale of 1-10, unlike all other outlets which seem to use the 5-10 scale.
That being said, havent played the conduit yet so i dont know whether or not to have a meltdown about this review :P
Basically, kudos to edge for making a point score mean a damn! |
As I often say, this is bullshit!
Every single videogame site uses the 1-10 scale, but EDGE fans/fanboys are bringing this up every time EDGE underrates a game, because they want to justify their fanboyism.
IGN recently gave Damnation and Cross Edge 2.5/10 and 3.5/10 respectively, so what exactly is that 5-10 scale you are talking about?

Ok maybe i didnt explain it in the best way possible...
The mean score for edge reviews is around 5, with a normal distribution around that.
And just because people only expect to see games in the 5-10 range across the board doesnt mean edge has to go along with it, its a massive issue in the review world and at some point, due to score inflation, only games that get 90+ will be seen as worthwhilie.
Again im not agreeing with their review, i havent read it, i just agree with the scoring system edge uses!
