Lol at the people acting like this is a new thing.

People generally are pissed at Edge for two reasons:

1.)  Out of every review magazine in existence, they have a the lowest overall average rating for PS3 exclusives.  They don't have this issue with 360 exclusives, if I remember correctly.  In other words, they have the biggest (or one of the biggest) discrepancies between how they rate games on different consoles.  There was a interesting article about this a few months back, which listed a bunch of magazines' review averages for exclusives sorted by which console they're on.  One could use the discrepancy between these different consoles' review averages to make a logical argument that if there is one game magazine or group of reviewers in the entire world which is biased against a particular console, the statistics suggest it would most likely be Edge.  If you don't believe that anyone in the world is biased, good for you.

2.) They're kind of a joke when it comes to reviewing RPGs.  Japanese ones in particular.

If you want to argue about those things, fine, but don't act like people are pissed at a magazine because one game just happened to get an 8.  If you didn't know, now you do.  If you were pretending ignorance... erm... stop being annoying?

 

In other news, 8 is a pretty good score.
