Just to give you the proof Edge is in fact 360 biased, here are the numbers :

Game / Edge rating / Meta (12/02/10) / Difference between Edge and Meta

Main 360 console exclusives :

Fable 2 / 90 / 89 / +1
Forza 2 / 90 / 90 / 0
Forza 3 / 90 / 92 / -2
Gears of War / 80 / 94 / -14
Gears of War 2 / 90 / 93 / -3
Halo 3 / 100 / 94 / +6
Halo 3 ODST / 90 / 83 / +7
Mass Effect / 70 / 91 / -21
Mass Effect 2 / 90 / 96 / -6
Left 4 Dead / 90 / 89 / +1
Left 4 Dead 2 / 90 / 89 / +1

Total (11 games) : -30 points
Average -2.73 / game

Main PS3 exclusives :

MGS4 / 80 / 94 / -14
Ratchet ToD / 80 / 89 / -9
Ratchet ACiT / 70 / 87 / -17
Resistance / 70 / 86 / -16
Resistance 2 / 60 / 87 / -27
Killzone 2 / 70 / 91 / -21
Valkyria Chr. / 70 / 86 / -16
Disgaea 3 / 80 / 78 / +2
Heavy Rain / 70 / 89 / -19
Uncharted / 80 / 88 / -8
Uncharted 2 / 90 / 96 / -6
Demon's Souls / 90 / 89 / +1
LittleBigPlanet / 100 / 95 / +5
Wipeout HD / 80 / 87 / -7
Flower / 70 / 87 / -17
Infamous / 70 / 85 / -15

Total (16 games) : -184 points !!!
Average -11.5 / game

So it's around 10 points difference in AVERAGE between a PS3 exclusive and a PC/360 console exclusive, which is huge and mathematically (statistically) impossible unless they're 360 biased or being 360 fanboys.

The other explanation would be they favor the shooter / FPS genre dominating on 360 (6 on 11 games reviewed), but then again, games like Resistance, Resistance 2, Killzone 2 wouldn't have been rated so much under their Meta then, so this explanation is wrong.

Conclusion : Edge is strongly 360 biased.

Wow, Those are some pretty damning stats.  Who'd of thought what EDGE 360 magazine whould be so biased?  I'm pretty sure you can do the same thing with the Wii scores too (NSMBW and Mario Kart come to mind)
