Because they use a scale that makes sense when nobody else's does. So, an Edge 7 is seen as "This game sucks, don't buy it", while it's actually more of a "this is very good, give it a try if it interests you".
They also have some very controversial opinions. Halo 3 is a 10, but BioShock is a 7?
Their text reviews are very good. But they just pick the number out of nowhere. This being the internet, people only care about the number. So, people hate them.
