So I guess no Lair review, no surprise really but there went that rumor.

 

[pswii60]

What, no LAIR?

Bummer to Blue Dragon.

 

[The S-Word]

Blue Dragon, Odin Sphere, and Tenchu Z.. all 6? This thread has potential.

 

[saelz8]

I came in here looking for more Bioshock scores

 

[yonder]

I'm so goddamned hyped for Zelda now. Is this the first DS game to get a 9 in Edge?

 

[Eric WK]

So Blue Dragon is on par with Tenchu Z?

Great.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

6 is above average. Blue Dragon is above average, nothing more nothing less.

 

[Cdammen]

What, no LAIR?

Europe doesn't get it till 28th of September

What articles besides those mentioned are in the mag?

 

[pswii60]

Hang on,

Blue Dragon - 6
Tenchu Z - 6
Ghost recon 2 - 6
Odin Sphere - 6

NO F***ING WAY DOES TENCHU Z DESERVE TO BE IN THE SAME CROWD AS THOSE THREE TITLES.

/caps off

Europe doesn't get it till 28th of September

I was referring to the fact that it was claimed that Lair got 9/10 in Edge according to the Official Lair thread.

...did I get them all? Good. Now discuss.

 

[Visualante]

EDGE has Halo 3 singeplayer?

 

[Darji]

so no lair score?^^

anyway I am kind of dissapointed by the Odin score....

 

[Gadfly]

Blue Dragon got the same score as Tencho Z?? There is no justice in review business.

 

[TemplaerDude]

exit 2 for the win ma'fuggaz.

 

[D3MO]

6 is above average. Blue Dragon is above average, nothing more nothing less.

i don't think so....I think 7(A) is average...8 above average.(AA)..9 awesome.(AAA)..10 AAAA...anything below a 7 is pretty much crap by review standards (although due to this thing called personal taste...well u know)

But yea...a 6 is like a D in school....its not a complete failure...

 

[Wollan]

Making Of - Alien Resurrection

Interesting. Was following it since it's announcement through various versions and enjoyed the final PSOne fps (with mouse support no less).

 

[pswii60]

i don't think so....I think 7(A) is average...8 above average.(AA)..9 awesome.(AAA)..10 AAAA...anything below a 7 is pretty much crap by review standards (although due to this thing called personal taste...well u know)

We're talking about EDGE here in case you'd forgotten. But either way, your scoring certainly applies to their Tenchu Z review.

 

[Odrion]

Well, at least Odin Sphere didn't get the 6 before it was released. Christ almighty what a catastrophe that would of been.

 

[LukeSmith]

OOOOOOUUUUUUUENNNNNNNNDAAAAAAAAAAN

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I actually enjoyed Tenchu Z. It looks like ass and actual combat is useless, but they did decent on the stealth aspect of the game. Above average is about right.

 

[AlternativeUlster]

Phantom Hourglass with a 9 means like its pretty much the greatest game ever. I love how Edge won't give a near perfect game a 10 because it doesn't make them go "HOLY F*CKING SHIT" which is what a 10 should do. I would think Edge would sadly only rate me a 7 which is appearently better than Blue Dragon so who knew?

So...

A = Average
AA = Above Average
AAA = Awesomely Above Average
AAAA = Amazingly Awesomely Above Average?

It all makes sense now

The following games got 10 in Edge:

Halo
Zelda: OoT
Super Mario 64


Also worth noting that GTA3 got 6/10 originally. Then after everyone disagreed they pretended it was a printing mistake in the next issue and claimed they meant 8/10. Also MGS2 got 8/10. Final Fantasy X 7/10.

So god of war 2 is only average?^^

[Wollan]

The following games got 10 in Edge:

Halo
Zelda: OoT
Super Mario 64

Gran Turismo as well (twice actually).

 

[Quazar]

BD getting no love it seems. I'm curious to see how it does on GS.

 

[Jonnyram]

The following games got 10 in Edge:

Halo
Zelda: OoT
Super Mario 64

Didn't DOAX also get 10, or is that an urban legend?

 

[MidgarBlowedUp]

Odin Sphere = 6

Wow, good for them. Funny enough, I never really got that much into any of those games.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - 9
Blue Dragon - 6 Not Again
Transformers - 2 :lol
Odin Sphere - 6 WTF(higher)
Ouendan 2 - 8 This is being translated?(no EBA 2?)
Tenchu Z - 6 WTF(lower)

 

[pswii60]

Gran Turismo as well (twice actually).

I think Gran Turismo 1 did (and 2?)

However:

GT3 got 8/10
GT4 got 7/10

EDIT:

No, full scores ahead:

Gran Turismo (JP) 10
Gran Turismo (PAL) 10
Gran Turismo 2 9
Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec 8
Gran Turismo 4 Prologue 5
Gran Turismo 4 7

 

[Graphics Horse]

Oh I remember that

The whole review was a mess, it seemed to be focused around the hand to hand combat controls.

 

[Wollan]

I think Gran Turismo 1 did (and 2?)

They reviewed the first one twice (JPN import and then the EU version).

 

[Giganticus]

The following games got 10 in Edge:

Halo
Zelda: OoT
Super Mario 64
Gran Turismo 1
Half Life 2

Fixed it a bit.

 

[JDSN]

So basically a nongame is bett...nah, too easy.

 

[alistairw]

So god of war 2 is only average?

God of War 2 is only average. It's mutton dressed up as lamb.

 

[painey]

another bad blue dragon review.. whats the deal?!

 

[pswii60]

Fixed it a bit.

Yep, doesn't take masterbrains it seems:

[AlternativeUlster]

I love you

It is sort of annoying how someone posts a thread and like the first 3 pages are people with big pictures of eating popcorn instead of contributing to the so called "megaton" thread. I want to post a picture of a penis coming up out of the popcorn and it maybe it says "Eat a dick or lets actually talk it out." Maybe a better caption but I don't think we can post pictures of penises on NeoGaf so maybe it can be a hot dog coming out of the popcorn with a mushroom on top.

 

[Karma Kramer]

I still love you blue dragon

 

[yilmazz]

Get Anno 1701... NOW!

 

[Raist]

Transformers ! :lol

:lol


Wait...


is it the same transformers that outsells Pokemon Pearl in UK ?


Ha, the power of cartoon/movies franchises

 

[pswii60]

another bad blue dragon review.. whats the deal?!

It's OK, Play will give it 9/10

Spoiler

or not

 

[exarkun]

So 6's all around eh? I guess if you took in each games' flaws and put them accordingly against what the game does right you get those scores. Which is why I love edge. The only game I disagree with (I would say CAC but the game was good but didn't have that much staying power, now if SSHD gets a 6 ill be pissed) is Graw 2. Does anyone know what the original got? I thought Graw 2 improved on most of what Graw 1 did right and some of what it did wrong. I was thinking more of an 8. But what can ya do...


except hug grawpy and tell him its alright.

 

[byproduct]

Why did Transformers get 2 when most sites rate it as average? Was it because of the squandered opportunity to make the best game of all time?

God of War 2 is only average. It's mutton dressed up as lamb.

OUTCH......
