Both halo wars and killzone got a 7/10...heh.
Could it be possible that a magazine out there doesnt review production values of games...but the gameplay only?
I mean, lets tap looks like ass but it sure looks fun and innovative.
Fear 2, house of dead(other 8's on the list)....all these games(should) have great gameplay. But no one is making animated gifs with their graphics so they can't be better than killzone 2 right...

This is EXACTLY why I respect EDGE. They go by entertainment value, not if it has particle effects or not.
And look how they did; years later Halo 3 is still being played and enjoyed even more then it was the first year out, has had over a few thousand years worth of time spent playing it, and it got a 10. Damn if Edge cn't call 'em.
Left 4 Dead got a nine if I remember right; and its still fun to play 100+ hours into it.
EDGE goes by value and fun factor, not by how much the things cost. At least, what I've seen of them points directly to this idea.

They gave Fallout 3 a 7 even though I've enjoyed it 100+ hours into it and the fact that it beat out more overhyped games for a majority of GOTY 08 winners. What's your point?
|
Fact is, just as many people can't stand crap aiming and yellow terrain and didn't enjoy that game that much as people who did. I don't care how many GOTY awards it gets; I, like them apparently, did NOT find the fun in it that much. Doesn't mean everybody won't obviously, but they didn't.

Yea, and I thought The Dark Knight was the best movie of the past year and didn't care for Slumdog Millionare. At the same time I couldn't take a Critic serious who rated The Dark Knight as the best movie of the year when all the other's were heralding Slumdog Millionare with that spot. If anything, that critic heralding The Dark Knight as the best movie of the year is Edge. And even if I personally agreed with their view, I can still see they are awful critics.

I thought just about everyone knew by now that the game reviewing system, while it isn't nearly as corrupt as some people want to think, has its standards set in the wrong place. I have yet to hear that about the movie industry, so your point doesn't exactly make sense when talking about the critics of an entirely different genre of entertainment. And Fallout 3 didn't have good gunplay at all, and they apparently didn't find VATS the most amazing thing since sliced bread either. So this only builds up the idea that 1) EDGE goes by gameplay and coherencey in gameplay above all else.
I think we should be impressed by MGS4; for not having a whole lot of gameplay to movie ratio, it scored high. And if you 2) go play the FEAR 2 demo and are looking at it for gameplay mainly, you'll see why it scored higher then KZ of Halo Wars. Having played demos of all 3, it seems the best, since I wasnt too impressed with HW and Killzone 2 had awful control.

1. Again. That point is pointless as the review for K2 claims the controls and gameplay are both great. It's just not innovative enough. Either way you slice that pie, it's inconsistent to other reviews.
2. I have played both the demos to Fear 2 and KZ2. And from a GAMEPLAY aspect, Fear 2 was the one that felt like a generic shooter to me. Seriously, it both controlled and felt exactly like Timeshift to me and I both own and have beaten that pos as it was given to me last x-mas. That being said, Fear 2 was an amazing demo but not because of the gameplay but rather for the atmosphere. It is absolutely creepy which was amazing. Awful example.
