in before the "oh no, my favourite exclusive only got a seven" followed by "an EDGE seven is a GOOD SCORE" followed by "EDGE and Eurogamer should just stick to the fucking Metacritic scale, FFS" followed by "EDGE and EG are the only ones doing it right, they're using the full scale" followed by "it's not like EG or EDGE are credible in any way. EDGE are biased toward English games, and Eurogamer don't even play the games before the review" followed by "its hardly fair to judge a publication over the actions of one writer" followed by "they don't use bylines, they are asking for it. they chose to publish it" followed by "b-b-b-but the Sims 3 scored higher and 50 Cent got a 7 too!" followed by "GO SUCK A FUCKING DICK"

Wait, ZENO CLASH got an eight!? I take everything back. Edge is declared credible, no one disagrees, thread prospers, sun shines, virgins are deflowered etc etc

 

[obaidr]

Fuel got a 4.5 from german PSM3, on of the best selling PS3 magazines over here. Something is really really wrong with edge.

Wait, I thought you guys said Excitebots was good?

Now where is my copy >: D

... perhaps they liked the game?

Or something is wrong with ze germans.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

4 for ExciteBots? Can't wait to hear this.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Oh dear

The Sims 3 > Infamous confirmed.

I think you can get banned for that dude

 

[Gagaman]

Punch-Out - 8

Boom Blox: Bash Party - 8

Good, good.

Excitebots: Trick Racing - 4

What the fuckakankxbnjkgasdcalf.

Edge lacks the Excite.

 

[Jonnyram]

Muramasa: The Demon Blade - 6

Sounds about right. A real aural and visual treat, but insanely repetitive and once you get over the wow factor, there's not a lot left.

 

[SovanJedi]

Uh-oh all round. At least they liked Punch-Out!!

I wonder what they have to say about Excitebots?

 

[Darkflight]

TIME EXTEND

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory

YES YES YES YES YES!

 

[Forkball]

The Muramusa scores upset me. I was really looking forward to that game.

What, they had a different opinion?

Infamous - 7

I mean, really....

The Sims 3 - 8

I forgot this even existed. I look forward to the iPhone version. Could be fun.

I'd just like to read the review. Can't wait to find this stateside in like a month.

 

[acm2000]

the only surprising score there is FUEL getting an 8, i wish there was a demo, really need one

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Did anyone else notice that their Wii scores go up in increments of 2 this month?

If another Wii game came out, it would have either been perfect or absolutely terrible.

 

[Jinfash]

inFamous is fuck awesome, but after playing it and completing, I think a 7 from EDGE is really appropriate. In my book it's an 8.5 game, though that's the highest score I can give a sandbox game.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I forgot this even existed. I look forward to the iPhone version. Could be fun.

I am intrigued.

 

[gottalovetheglove]

Oh dear

Meh, I'm too lazy to edit anyway. I'll take a ban for that.

 

[Salazar]

Do Gamecock really need to make a decent game soon ?

 

[TheGreatDave]

Well, I'd say Punch Out!! is twice as good as ExciteBots...

Ghostbusters seems to be falling where I'd expect. Based on what I've seen of the cutscenes (hate them) the license alone isn't going to make the game a purchase for me.

 

[Jinfash]

Meh, I'm too lazy to edit anyway. I'll take a ban for that.

Hardcore.

smh.

 

[Yes Boss!]

I'd personally switch the Infamous and Excitebots scores but everything else seems about right. If Muramasa is anything like Odin Sphere I can understand the score.

Gamecock got bought by Southpeak, so technically their lineup already caught up with them.

 

[Yes Boss!]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Oh noes! Somebody doesn't like InFamous.

Didn't like Killzone 2 either. So ha!

 

[GDGF]

Has the Wii version of Ghostbusters been reviewed yet?

 

[Keikoku]

Fair scores.

 

[El-Suave]

I suppose the score for Ghostbusters is PS3/360 only because the Wii version won't be out in Europe immediately?

 

[Dabookerman]

Next issue page.

Let's read this excitebots review shall we.

Well yeah. SIMS ROCKS !

Anyway good score for Infamous and too good score for punch out. Sims 3 deserved 9 but I guess 8 is fine too. Also nice to see Zeno Clash getting such a high score.


Muramasa: The Demon Blade - 6 is it out already ?

 

[Thrakier]

This 7 for Infamous was as clear as the 7 from EG.

 

[8-Bit Soul]

Punch-Out - 8

Excitebots: Trick Racing - 4

what?

 

[gottalovetheglove]

Hardcore.

smh.

Why would you be shaking your head? I wasn't trying to be hardcore in any respect, I wasn't trying to stick it to the man. If I broke the rules I want to be punished for it.

Also looking through your previous posts, I see no reason whatsoever for there to be bias in your comments towards my sarcastic remark to the Edge scores, none at all.

 

[deepbrown]

Oh noes! Somebody doesn't like InFamous.

Didn't like Killzone 2 either. So ha!

Yeah not liking it means it deserves a 4/10! Yay!

 

[Jinfash]

I was just trying to think of the most outrageous things anyone would say if they saw the inFAMOUS score, but this topped them all. I honestly don't care that much, but it was funny.

 

[randomwab]

Next issue page.

That's No More Heroes 2, without a doubt.

You're now my favourite poster on GAF, <3 Rez!

 

[Twix]

Infamous - 7

They could have given it 9 only if Sucker Punch was a British developer

:lol @ Excitebots, bad games deserve bad scores.

REVIEW SCORES

Fuel - 8

Well that came as a surprise. Thought this could be safely considered as mediocrity one would pass by and scoff at. There needs to be a demo of this.

 

[GhaleonQ]

If Muramasa is anything like Odin Sphere I can understand the score.

Uh, it's not, which is why it's a silly score. Apparently, Edge gave Odin Sphere a 6, too. So, they made the game system much simpler and offered 2 styles for hardcore and casual gamers, beefed up the art and music, and...got a 6. Vanillaware screwed up again! (Or M:TDB wasn't made in Brighton[it's true, Rez!].)

I can understand people not liking the obtuseness of Knights In The Nightmare (or maybe it just isn't that good), but Edge's taste in games is peculiar and they aren't often willing to take games on their own terms.

 

[El-Suave]

Next issue -> Cursed Mountain (Wii)?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Yeah not liking it means it deserves a 4/10! Yay!

Yeah, seems about right. I'd rate it a little below average. Not Assasin's Creed bad but not that much fun. Camera is far too close behind Cole which gives me a headache. I know a lot of folks here like the game but for others it falls completely flat.

I'm picking it up in any case. I did stop Odin at twenty-five hours so I'm hoping Muramasa is shorter.

 

[Truant]

Good score for inFamous, seems about right.
