The funny thing is, if this game is getting 9's and 9.5's and is a one-year developed game, IMAGINE Halo: Reach, which has been in development for 2 years ALREADY and will have an entirely new engine, graphics, multiplayer and the best story as far as the novels go.

10's out the ass? O_o

I disagree. Also review should take every possible aspect of the game into consideration. They are simply inconsistent. Regards K2 all gaming world stands behind me. Fear 2 is simply in the different league. Not with Conflict Denied Ops or Haze but with stuff like Turok etc. Killzone 2 is polished in every aspect. Single player isn't an exception.

^This.

I am a huge Sony fan and I also feel that Edge has unfairly reviewed past stellar exclusives on the PS3. As such I have little respect for Edge.

However if they do choose to give ODST a high rating, there's no reason to be upset about it. At the end its their prerogative.

I played Halo and liked it and ODST for sure deserves the high rating that it got.

The question that does come to the mind is why other great games were treated differently all of which are exclusives of a different platform.

However to be honest there is very little we can do about it. Complaining about this only leads to trolls bad mouthing about our favorite games which IMO is even more heart breaking.

EDGE lost their editor Margaret Robinson some time ago and since then the reviews have been all over the place.

Basically innovation if well implemented will ensure a high mark.

The current EDGE team seem to quite like 360 , tolerate PS3 and detest anything Wii.

I'd be a fool though if I thought they were the only ones, and that sites are only biased against the PS3. The 360 and Wii have received their fair share of author/site bias. End of the day, let your play time determine what a game's score should be.

CGI you have a great perspective on these things, and you don't really ever seem to get caught up in the bull. I agree with what you say in this post 100%.

Thats why alot of people want him to be Mod

Another review, someone might have posted before, I dont know:

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2009/09/the-60-expansion-pack-halo-3-odst-underwhelms.ars

So, lets put it straight. I dont know the Halo franchise that well. I am not a fan of shooters, so I dont really care. For what its good, ODST seens fun enough for the ones who like it. BUT, taking this from the article:

The Ugly
•The fanboys' reaction to a panned Halo game, on both sides of the fence
•Microsoft learning it can get away with charging $60 for $30 worth of new content

This line made me think the most....and interesting enough, this is a kind of sad truth right there.

I second this.

I was actually hoping for a 7-8 from them. No, not because I dislike ODST or even believe that it deserves lower then a 9. It's just that in comparison to the Harsh reviews they tend to have for a lot of ps3 games it would have made sense. I don't understand why they give the same complaints for two games and that the games are so simular in their review and yet one gets a 7 and the other gets a 9 (I'm talking about killzone 2 and Gears 2 reviews here as they say the same things about both game that they don't do anything new but they do it with great polish and that they are both beautiful games with awful non existant story.) And they are always giving great games low scores because they are more of the same but when they say this game is mostly more of the same it's like it doesn't count against them. I guess my hopes of bringing balance to the force won't be happening. It's fine if they wan't to be harsh when reviewing games, but at least be as harsh when reviewing all games. I think it's pretty funny how with the exception of LBP they are consistantly at the bottom average of reviews for ps3 exclusives and consistantly at the top for any real 360 exclusive.

Which is wrong cause the map packs alone are worth $25.
