Do not judge a review on its score, but by its content. If you judge reviews based on their scores, you're basically ranking video games according to their title screens and ignoring everything else about them.

What reviewers need to realize is that they are the gaming media. The score is just as important as the written review. The score affects how the readers look at the game, and their scores are bogus most of the time. I am not ranking video games according to score, rather saying that the score is a part of the review and should be just as good.

Scores are nont anywhere close to as important as the content of a review, that notion does not make sense.
And their scores are not bogus: they are internally consistent, consistent in method, and consistent in their criteria. They're among the best in the industry, regardless of whether or not I agree with them on a given score.
Score is not as important as content. Score is not as important as content. Score is not as important as content.

Whether you like it or not, the score is still a part of the review. So, they are not consistent at all. They gave WKC and Final Fantasy 13 a review score of 5. That makes absolutely no sense. WKC had choppy graphics, and terrible dialog. Final Fantasy 13 should of been ahead of WKC with graphics alone. I could bring way more examples, i see nothing but inconsistency.
Score is a part of the content. Score is a part of the content. Score is a part of the content.

Edge's review scores are different from how you know them from other outlets, for Edge 5/10 is average not 7/10 as it's a perfect balance in the middle of a scale of 10 (equal number of ratings for good and bad), this is why you see a lot of 7/10s and 8/10s in Edge as that's what they class as a good/great game, tripple As normally come in at 8s/9s while those that innovate to a point of being impressive with little to no flaws come in at 10. FFXIII had points docked because it was linear and had very little else to do in the whole package.
