I'm an Edge subscriber, and I really like the magazine. There's great content in there, and the reviews are usually very well written and reasonable, even if I don't always agree with exactly what they say.
Also, I don't attach much importance to the number at the end of a review. It's the actual review that's important. The text explaining their analysis of the game is much more informative than whatever number is at the bottom of the review and put up on Metacritic. But Kantor has it right with regards to people only caring about the number attached to the review, which as far as I'm concerned, is very stupid. Shouldn't we be able to talk more intelligently about how good or bad a game is, rather than arguing about what numerical value it deserves? Surely we should be able to talk about pros and cons for any given game we play, analyse games clearly and constructively, rather than kick up a fuss because our favourite game didn't get the number we want to see.
