Scores are irrelevant. They seem to back up their views with reasonable support. Just cover up the numbers and read the words and you'll be fine.

Nope didn't work, comparing Uncharted 2 with COD still doesn't make any sense.

 

 

 

Sure it does.  We all compare games cross-genres, evaluating what we value in one over another.  We all have limited time and cash and need to make decisions about what to buy and play.  Do I play Mass Effect or Bayonetta?  I only have time and cash for one?  Do I buy Heavy Rain or Bioshock 2?  Can't afford both.  

We always compare and contrast games.  It's human nature.  

What you guys forget is that "Edge" saying something is a 6 while metacritic says 75 is A:  not a huge difference.   B:  the opinion of a couple people whose job it is to sell magazines, just as websites are designed to drive click-through traffic and page views.  It amuses me when people get so worked up about scores.  They are meaningless.
