Do you go out of your way to be a downer, or does it come naturally? XD I've lurked for a few weeks, and every time I see your avatar, I know the text next to it will be the most pessimistic possible thing a human being is capable of thinking.

vivster and Rolstoppable are represented perfectly in this cartoon I made. They both will whisper in your ear, trying to sway your opinion. Even though they may appear opposite the fact is they are two sides of the same coin. You will get used to them in time and eventually find their opinions entertaining.

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

I view Edge as one of the most reliable reviewers

they usually don't exaggerate on how good/bad a game is, this is good news for Zelda

don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

They apparently also tested the Wii U version and I need to know everything about it.

Not only did they give Skyward Sword a perfect score,but they also gave Twilight Princess a 90. I'm starting to believe their score.

What?! You say this based on what exactly? EDGE is one of the most highly appraised, credible and knowledgeable magazines around and has been so for a very long time. A 10/10 in EDGE is reserved for the absolutely best games -- they don't hand them around lightly, and if you check at their history of 10/10s, they have always been spot on with their decisions.

EDGE is one of the few whose journalistic integrity I trust and take into account. They also happen to be very strict, 82% of their reviews are lower than the average critic review so you know they are not one of those places that publishers can buy a positive review from. Their average mark is 6.4.

For 2,808 reviews, this publication has graded:

15%higher than the average critic
3%same as the average critic
82%lower than the average critic

Out of 2808 reviews, they have only ever given 16 10/10s (including BoTW).

Their 10/10s:

Bangai-o Spirits

Grand Theft Auto IV

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Bloodborne

The Orange Box

Super Mario Galaxy

Halo 3

Skyward Sword

Half-Life 2

LittleBigPlanet

Bayonetta

Bayonetta 2

Rock Band 3

Grand Theft Auto V

The Last of Us

10 from Edge is actually pretty good, no?

Yeah, Edge is known for being harsh on reviews. They rarely give 10s.
