| CyberRazorCut said: Having read most of the infomation Edge has printed on God of War III, I'm expecting an 8/10 for that game (possibly even a 7, so fanboys get those fingers ready). They just don't seem particularly taken with it....every other 10 I can think of has pushed its genre forward or innovated in some way, I don't see how a game criticised at preview level for feeling like more of the same is going to get the coveted 10. Using the 'Edge 10' template, Bayonetta has to be a simply stunning game to not stick out like a sore thumb in a list that consists only of (I think): Mario 64 Gran Turismo Zelda: OOT Halo Half Life 2 Halo 3 Orange Box Super Mario Galaxy LitteBigPlanet GTA IV
Personally I'd only rate 5 of those games at 10/10, but at the same time there are very few existing games that I feel should join the list.
I was a bit puzzled this morning when I saw the scores, because the early videos of Bayonetta I've seen have looked, well, sickening, but I'm going to trust Edge and pre-order it. I'm itching to play a third-person brawler that they think is better than Xbox Ninja Gaiden. Hopefully it's pushing the envelope with more than its breasts.

An Edge 8 is nothing to be ashamed of, it's a very impressive score.
I would expect a 9 for GoW3.
Going back to Bayonetta...Edge AND Famitsu? Either:
a) This game is actually really good, or
b) The editors at Famitsu and Edge are wearing a cap fashioned out of banknotes, courtesy of Sega.
