You were saying, Fury?  Cause looking at this they gave one in 2011, zero in 2012, two in 2013, one in 2014, one in 2015, zero in 2016, and so far two in 2017.  Do enlighten us as to when this famously reliable and tough reviewer went soft and started handing out these 10s with such abandon.

It's amazing how Edge's reputation as a hardass was virtually unchallenged...before Breath of the Wild got a 10.
