Pretty sure Edge just gives low scores for the sake of publicity so they don't go out of business. Or maybe their review staff are just retards.

Or maybe they just give fair scores because a 7 is NOT LOW.

COME ON it's 50 cent. >_

Finally a reviewer that knows how to score its games.

Edge, +1

 

well, considering DoW2 deserves a 8-9/10 ... they dont know how to score a game ...



Time to Work !

i honestly wish edge would go bankrupt.they are so useless and inconsistence in their reviews that it's not even funny.

They also gave The Witcher a 5/10, which was in my opinion easily the best RPG of 2007. However EDGE is one of the best magazines, if not the best, because they usually rate the games on a fair scale and do not seem to give favours to publishers.

Being harsh in reviews is fine, nothing wrong with that.  Being inconsistant in reviews is really poor, and shouldn't be reviewing if like that.

Opinions are inconsistent? Who would have known..

more importantly, resistance retribution got a 6.....

Perhaps Spartan will make a thread...

 

Urgh, quit trolling.

With regard to a 7 for both RE5 and 50 Cent, I'm inclined to say "hey, it's Edge, what were you expecting?".

 



Resident Evil will sell regardless. I don't think going to be the AAA game that I hoped it would be, but I bet I'm going to enjoy it a lot.

I think that the gaming media is telling us what we want to hear, lately. If message boards say a game isn't an upper echelon title, then the scores are starting to reflect that. If we hype a game as the second coming of Jesus, Allah, and Buddha, we get scores that reflect that too.

When they come from the same source, in this case Edge, they should not be.

 

So the Edge is ran by one guy? Or multiple people who have some kind of Borg hivemind?

I still don't get why these numbers are that big of a deal.

That's why he said Edge+1. So Dawn of War II got an 8, so did Killzone 2 and RE5, MGS4 got a 9, and LBP got an 11.
