Why are people bad mouthing Edge. They are one of the most reputable European reviewers in the business. They mark video games tough as they should. Why should 9's and 10's be given out to every friggin exclusive game?

I would be questioning review sites who give high scores to games which do not deserve them.

 

They are very inconsistant with their standards.

Yeah it's not like they really had standards. A stupid shooter which brings nothing new can get 9 or 10, then a artsy game from a new genre gets 6 or a universally acknowledged masterpiece like MGS4 gets 8.

Edge gave Halo: ODST a 9.  That's a joke.

That said, I don't think I'd describe Edge scores as necessarily biased.  They gave Demon's Souls a 9, and LittleBigPlanet a 10.  On the other hand, they gave Killzone 2 a 7.  "All over the place" is a better description.  They say it's because they "use the entire scale", but really their scores are best described a random.

Back on topic - I don't know what Edge will give them.  I can't even guess, due to the previously mentioned randomness.  They might give it a 6, they might give it a 9.  Depends if the reviewer is on his period that day or not.

I would give Halo 3 ODST close to a 9 myself. I think that calling other people who disagree with you "a joke" makes you look laughable.


That's a stretch.  Get over yourself.

So we agree, you don't like people disagreeing with you?



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

They are entitled to have an opinion just like anyone else in this world. Halo:ODST I would of given an 8 (reason: no Master Chief) and Killzone 2 an 8 as well (reason: Killzone 2 was too friggin hard for me). Both good games but could of been much better.

Demon's Souls a 9 seems reasonable. Little Big Planet a 10 is spot on the money.
