This type of scoring points to the problem with metarankings.

An 8 from here means something a lot different than an 8 from another source.

Yet they get counted the same.

Also, did anyone notice the highest scores for consoles games were on the Wii.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

A 6 for Muramasa: The Demon Blade??????????????

EDIT: Wait how did they get to review it? the game isn't out for another 4 months...

And Excitebots: Trick Racing only gets a 4?

OMG EDGE IS CLEARLY BIASED AGAINST Wii GAMES AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED!



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

You people are just spoiled with scores
For example,

Eurogamer Scoring Policy

Eurogamer marks games out of ten. We believe this is specific enough to identify the differences in quality between the majority of games, and that with these guidelines in hand the benefits of the ten-point scale outweigh the potential for inconsistency across a range of writers. Here's what the marks represent:

10/10 - Phenomenal

9/10 - Excellent

8/10 - Very good

7/10 - Good

6/10 - Above average

5/10 - Average

4/10 - Below average

3/10 - Bad

2/10 - Atrocious

1/10 - Bloody atrocious

I won`t be suprised, if EDGE has pretty much same rating system, in other words, they use 1 to 10, instead of 6-10.
Although, most time i see that EG/EDGE are more critical to PS3 exclusives, still usually PS3 games score 7 or above, which means a GOOD game.

Anyway, more and more people having FUN with inFAMOUS, and that`s all what MATTERS. =)

No one said anything negative about inFAMOUS's score.


I think it's a good score...  A seven from EDGE or an 8 from anyone else is about right for inFamous.  Fun, but nothing special.  As the score up there says "good".

He copied and pasted from N4G. Lots of PS3 fanboys are whining over there.

Edge scores do not interest me, but the reviews do. I can seldom find thing to disagree with in an Edge review.

So. Give me the magazine. Now!

I own both punchout and inFamous and if Punchout is an 8 infamous should at the very least be a 8 as well. It's all good though Edge has literally been involved in scandals for taking bribes for review scores in the past. The only people to have reviewed infamous poorly are Edge (big surpirise) Eurogamer (big surprise) and some no name text message service.

Good to see Ghostbusters is as good as inFamous I guess.

Though 4 for Excitebots seems pretty harsh.

So, based on your subjective opinion, their subjective opinion is wrong?

Read the review before complaining about the scores.

Edge giving 7 to a PS3 exclusive is a great score. Coz I don't think they gave high scores to any PS3 exclusive other then LBP and MGS4 as far as I know.

Stop pretending everyone is against the PS3, it's almost as old as saying the PS3 has no games.

From the NeoGaf thread about this issue:


Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty - 8
Siren Blood Curse - 8
Uncharted - 8
Ratchet & Clank Future - 8
Singstar - 8
Warhawk - 8
Super Stardust HD - 8
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - 8
Motorstorm - 8
