In recent years Edge's review scores have been very bizzare, but the content and the quality of writing is still very good and they do make some good points when talking about games. Anyway, the scores above do show how odd Edge's scoring system can be, especially compared to their older scores. There seems to be no real consensus with the publication on how to score games anymore. In defence of Edge on the Metroid Prime Trilogy pack though, all 3 had already been released so fans were likely to already have all 3 games or at least played 1. An 8 for 3 old games is actually a good (and well deserved) score. Orange box on the other hand had HL2:Episode 2, Portal and Team Fortress on top of 2 older titles which is why it probably scored so highly. |
so these were 'new' titles at the time? if so then that gos some way to explaining it. maybe i should have done a bit of homework first on that 
anyway im happy to say i own both MP Trilogy and Orange Box, both fantastic packages, anyone with access to them should def check them out. Id give them both 9/10 if anyone cares, lol.
Portal is amazing!
