Why are people bad mouthing Edge. They are one of the most reputable European reviewers in the business. They mark video games tough as they should. Why should 9's and 10's be given out to every friggin exclusive game?

I would be questioning review sites who give high scores to games which do not deserve them.

Edge gave Halo: ODST a 9.  That's a joke.

That said, I don't think I'd describe Edge scores as necessarily biased.  They gave Demon's Souls a 9, and LittleBigPlanet a 10.  On the other hand, they gave Killzone 2 a 7.  "All over the place" is a better description.  They say it's because they "use the entire scale", but really their scores are best described a random.

Back on topic - I don't know what Edge will give them.  I can't even guess, due to the previously mentioned randomness.  They might give it a 6, they might give it a 9.  Depends if the reviewer is on his period that day or not.

This.

Edge reviews are like random numbers with a 360 bias. One of the last strongly 360 biased reviewers remaining now. Only Eurogamer was sometimes more stupidly biased before they calmed down.

It was proven long ago, somebody made all the statistical calculations. They basically remove more than 1 point if the game is a PS3 exclusive, then it's a random number generator. ODST 9 and MGS4 8 is comical. But there are a lot of examples. PS3 exclusives used to get 7 when they were 90 % on meta. Pathetic green monkeys actually.
