I think Edge might be the only publication on earth that treats games like interpretive expressions of art and not pieces of software. I love having these scores pop up and somebody is always having a hissy fit about something. Good for Edge for being the only publication to put the critical eye on gaming and treating it seriously. Everyone else treats games like they're reviewing anti-virus software or Windows 7.

LOL

LOL you agree, or LOL Onyxmeth is crazy?

erm, agree I guess, bolded part made me

Oh. Yeah I can't help but monitor these threads. There's always at least one title that gets singled out as the shafted game, and everyone goes on and on about it for five pages about how Edge is worthless. Rinse and repeat next month.

I have to say I expected more "UNCHARTED 2 ONLY GOT A 9!!!"

What did the give the DS version?

A 8, so they just down a point for lack of originality or something. Anyway I'm really surprised at the Might and Magic DS score, here we have a small game that is getting high scores almost evyerwere and few people know about it, so check it out.

I think is Mario didn't get a 7 that might have been a good angle for everyone to take the thread.

Borderlands 6. Yikes. I can see why they'd score it that way based of their tastes though.

Edge also Gave Metroid Prime 3 a 7. So that means NSMB will be AMAZING.

Ouch at NSMB Wii score...

Well, Edge are the hardest reviewers, so let's see how it goes at the rest of the big guys.

Yep that's how Edge has always been so hard to complain. Especially hard to question considering NOBODY in here has played the Mario game to even justify a counter attack or agreement.

I'll reserve my judgement after I've played it just like I'll do for Bordelrands and Uncharted 2. Until then they are living up to their reputation and they still have the right to their opinion.

Remember I only get flustered when a Zelda game is reviewed anything other than amazing haha. Bias... well more than likely but hey it is Zelda.

I've had Might and Magic on my radar since e3. I love puzzle hybrid genre games. This looks like it could be among the best.

NSMB Wii got what it deserves. I'm still adamant in my belief that it could've been much, much, more and is overall unimpressive.

A 6 for Borderlands, though? why?
