Edge magazine usually gives everything a terrible score. Every single game that gets a 90 metacritic score gets a 62-77 from Edge. 

I know and rightly so. As per craig above, a 9 is a 10 anywhere else. Although they have given out 10s more often recently but the idea of a 10 is it's meant to be perfect, no faults and rarely is that truely the case.

Edge doesn't have higher standards than other critics. They've given Skyward Sword, Bayonetta, and Little Big Planet perfect scores. None of those games deserve a ten. They've also given Fallout 3, Metroid Prime 3, and God of War II a 70. Edge is just a bad site that hands out low scores left and right. For some reason metacritic weights the reviews from Edge heavily. In the long run, this means that if Edge reviews a game it will usually drop a point or two on the metascore.
