they don't give out 10s everywhere like most other reviewers
No, but they gave the first a ten as well.

First one also got a 10.
Because people love to bitch about lists here's their top 10 games of the generation:
1 Dark Souls
A lot of people enjoy a lot of things.
However this is about a supposedly objective review of a game that had many shortcomings yet the reviewer was careful enough to "forget" writing about any of them and generously reward the game with an 8.As an Uncharted clone or a new IP it may have been a shallow but fun game but as a game that dares to have Tomb Raider on its title it was abysmally bad.
And no Uncharted didn't start trying to be Tomb Raider unless the only TR game you have played was TRLegend.
And as i said the Tomb Raider 2013 review was just the cherry on top for me regarding the credibility of Edge.In recent years they have wrote many bad reviews that failed to criticize the games objectively.
Edge reviews are the biggest load of bollocks ever, so inconsistent.
Nintendo should buy Platinum.
Super hyped over Bayo.
What a great year for Wii U owners.
Edge is not one person but a team of writers with different opinions. I don't agree with every Edge review either, but that doesn't make the reviews themselves less valid. As long as the writer does a good job of explaining why he or she awarded a certain score it's fine by me, whether I agree with it or not. Opinions and all that.
Yet they all had behind their anonymity so we can only judge the quality of their reviews as a whole.

Yeah that sounds great! Lets limit Platnium games to the few dozen that owns a Wii U.
Yep so as with all gaming media you need to take all reviews at face value. I have a few friends that i normally agree with on everything but occasionally we will have a difference of opinion. Does this mean i will never respect that friends opinionagain? Course it doesnt. Now you are saying you will never trust another Edge review after 1 reviewer disagreed with your opinion on 1 game.Yet they all hide behind their anonymity so we can only judge the quality of their reviews as a whole.
Change LBP for LBP2, Street Fighter for Demon's Souls and Red Dead for Left 4 Dead and this list is getting somewhere.
Well if people really wanted the Platinum games then what console it is on wouldnt really matter

You're off your rocker. Left 4 Dead doesn't deserve to be anywhere near that list.

2 games, the phenomenal Wonderful 101 is on it too you filthy casual.Alright you got me, I guess I don't REALLY want a Platnium game since I don't feel like spending the money to buy a console for one game. Man I'm such a filthy casual.

No, not this again God dammit.
Let Platinum live. Don't restrict them to 1 console, for all we know Nintendo could make them burp 3ds titles forever. Stop this.
Holy crap edge gave Bayo 2 a 10? Have I read this right?
did not deserve
Fair enough, my point still kind of stands though. If you think Edge arent objective enough are you not fairly close to rejecting all reviews? In my experience Edge tend to be overly critical of games as opposed to sweeping stuff under the carpets just to bump up the score. Dont get me wrong Im not the kind of person who will base a purchase on a review score, i tend to go by gameplay videos, demos and forum impressions, but id never completely reject a respectable outlet based on a couple of oversights.That's not what i said at all. I said that there were many other Edge reviews in recent years that i didn't agree with and they failed to criticize the games objectively enough.
Tomb Raider 2013 was just the final blow (for me).
That's actually an excellent Top 10.
Edit: I got Edge and Eurogamer mixed upLets face it, they only gave it a 10 because it has British voice acting.

10 equal to the number of copies it'll sell (;o
Yup, just like Resident Evil 4.Very good top 10 list.
Should have included something else instead of The Last of Us, that game won't have staying power. People will burn that phase in the next years.

Ehh...I remember when Edge used to be harsh...7 for Sims 4...uhh..
LittleBigPlanet has no business being anywhere near that list. Other than that, solid.
That's a list! Haven't played Bayo yet.. Didn't want the subpar ps3 experience. I'll be jumping right in now (Asuming the WII U port holds up)
It's almost as if they have more then one person writing reviews
