ANyway, Edge just wants to be different unless it's key Nintendo franchises. They are definitely checking out meta before they place their own scores while everyone else just scores how they feel about the game. And when it comes to Nintendo, everyone just treats them like they no their stuff simply because they were the first in the business. I know for a fact that is the reason. They DO make great games, but honestly they are no different to some of the great games other companies make now.

The problem with reviews (speaking very generally here) is that damn near all reviewers score games within a tiny range.  In other words, 95% of reviewers agree that X game is great, mediocre, average, or whatever.  But, since reviews are conducted by humans, and humans have varied tastes and opinions, it is unrealistic to think that 95% of people could agree on such a subjective thing as the quality of a given piece of art. 

So, IMO, it is likely that Edge is conducting more fair reviews than many other organizations, as evidenced by the fact that they don't always agree with everyone else.
