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. 

It's not a website, it's a magazine in the UK with close ties to the industry in the UK.

And so? Metacritic means nothing, it's stupid. It's just a review, an opinion. No doubt we all have opinions on games, you seem to like Fallout 3, they might not have as much as you. I think Halo series is crap, Edge gave Halo 3 a 10.

I think metacritic is a good way to find good games you wouldn't otherwise have played. It is just an opinion, but I'd rather have the opinion of multiple people, than one person's opinion. But yeah, Edge can do whatever they want. It's not that big of a deal.
