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.

They are entitled to have an opinion just like anyone else in this world. Halo:ODST I would of given an 8 (reason: no Master Chief) and Killzone 2 an 8 as well (reason: Killzone 2 was too friggin hard for me). Both good games but could of been much better.

Demon's Souls a 9 seems reasonable. Little Big Planet a 10 is spot on the money.
