I'm not as deluded as I make myself out to be
wow Xenoblade got a 9, kinda surprising, JRPGs getting a 9 in this day and age.

What's the story? Track record of being nice to UK devs b/c they're from the UK too?

Pretty good scores all around; almost everyone is pleased. Doesn't feel like an Edge score thread.

I always thought Driver: San Fran looks like a fucking blast in MP. I hope Ubisoft doesn't drop the ball on the PC version.

Who am I kidding...

Apparently the coma storyline in DriverSF is much more meta, with nightmares turning the ingame world crazy.

Driver's gonna get great scores at least in Europe. Having completed it, it really is the Driver-game that Reflections always wanted to make. No horror spikes in mission difficulty, bugs ruining the experience or any sort of technical flaws. The framerate never dropped for me on the PS3. From a coding perspective, the game's superb. It does feel like Crazy Taxi a lot, the side missions and challenges are better than the story missions. There's a huge amount of content from split-screen modes to tons of themed challenges etc with altered graphics. The handlings heavy like it has been, but the more expensive cars are so fucking slippery to drive, like you are on ice that they really arent much fun to use.

I have to say the Driver SF multiplayer demo was surprisingly fun. The way they explain the Shifting in the singleplayer story cutscenes is goddamn ridiculous, but as a gameplay mechanic it's pretty cool.

They did give Driv3r the 3/10 it deserved. And it was also made by Reflections.

Yep, and it's pretty obvious too. Eurogamer/Edge both do this.

When i said the same thing about the Enslaved review i almost got raped by the NT fanboys.Seriously when was the last time Edge gave a bad score (below 5) to a British dev?

Hm, been hearing good things about EYE, but haven't bought it yet. Anyone know what EDGE didn't like about it?

and hard.

and now we get comments like this on an Edge review thread -
"Can someone post EDGE´s complaints about Xenoblade? Wonder what kept the game from getting a 10, not that I care :D" Good lord. I guess they wanted in on the wank fest.

There are no complaints as far as I can tell

And it ends with
Wonders and terrors are equally positioned in 
the world to imbue even the slightest diversion off 
the beaten track with drama and anticipation. When married to one of the strongest battle systems in the genre and a cast of characters and story that twist convention, this world becomes irresistible. It’s a 
potent return to form for Takahashi, then, a glowing comeback for the Japanese RPG, and an injection of creativity for some tired hardware. Xenoblade Chronicles manages to impress, enrich and, best of all, inspire wonder.

Why don't you wait and see how non-UK based sites review the game?.

We had the same complaints about the Edge UK bias when they gave Dirt 3 a 9, even though that's the same score it got from American sites like Gamespot and Joystiq, and only very slightly higher than the game's Metacritic average of 87.
