something smells fishy about those review numbers, I don't think i'd be inclined to trust them.

i found 2 different sources citing the same scores.

That's a suprisingly low score for World at War.

Can you give me the main reasons for it getting that low a score from them, please?

i'm sorry, i just got the scores off the net lol

 

 

oh I'm not doubting your sources, I'm sure thats what EDGE gave them, I just think that their numbers seem too erratic to be trusted when weighed against other reviewers.

Sorry if it came across like I was attacking you, that was definately not my intention.

oh cool 800 posts lol

It's Edge. Everything fails.

Edge are just generally complete bullshit-spewing morons.

Oh my god. They gave L4D and Gears 2 9/10, then gave Resistance 2 a 6/10 and VC a 7/10?

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new EuroGamer!

yeah, I wonder why

Perhaps they should see someone about either a few decent therapy sessions, or a course of some anti-depressants.

Edge is outspoken if nothing else. Can't say I agree with everything they put.

Their criteria sometimes is odd and inconsistent. But, at least they are honest about what they think. Glad to see there are no 10's. I don't think any game deserves a 10 yet this generation... MGS4, Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears 2, etc. were great, but not 10's.

WOW,they have given so many low scores,it's not even funny.

Fallout 3 - 7
Call of Duty: World at War - 6
Resistance 2 - 6

I am very surprised at how low the above scores are. All the rest pretty much believable with Edge's schizo reviews, but the above are like in a parallel universe.
