EDGE hated the character modelling, the dialogue, and the cliche story in Dragon Age, all of which are much better in Mass Effect 2.

of the games I have played (Dante's, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2), the scores seems surprisingly in line with my own opinion.
I guess I like Edge this month.

Compare GoW to NG or DMC. Notice the difference. GoW is easy to play. GoW is about evoking that emotion you are strong, eventhough the game is easy as hell so it doesn't mean you are good. Rather then deriving fun from being skilled in a game, you derive fun from feeling cool for doing brutal stuff.daxter01 said:
Pointing out people like QTE's in GoW, for me no matter how cool they are it just means I can't play the game. Other people like it though since it looks cool. Rather than a QTE, I'd like to destroy the stronger enemies by doing an awesome combo.

Cool, genuinely wasn't sure if it was directed at me or not.
Regarding reviewing Bioshock 2 SP and MP separately, the two are really wildly different experiences so I can almost see it from that perspective as well but it's still kind of weird. It just doesn't seem like a game someone would buy only for the MP.
If it means they spent more time trying out all the MP has to offer, though, that's great. Maybe even more interested in reading what they have to say about that than the SP review. Most outlets have mentioned MP so far but clearly haven't paid a lot of attention to it.
EDGE threads never disappoint. Selective memory FTW.
Sony fanboys quickly forget that EDGE 2008 GOTY was LittleBigPlanet and think EDGE is biased against Sony.
Microsoft fanboys agree with a 7 to any PS3 exclusive (because a 7 is clearly a low score...) and quickly forget the reviews that the same game got in other magazines/websites.

Anyway, while I really like their articles their scores rarely match my own opinions, I recall they gave Ouendan 2 a 7. EDIT: An 8 it seems, after visiting the database link below.
Speaking of Edge and Edgeworth, where's Tim Langdell? Is he afraid of ace attorneys?

Huh. Well, guess one can disregard their AAI:ME score then.
Those are all 9-10s to me.Sammy Samusu said:
I suspect what might be the EDGE score for FF XIII. :lol That should be a good one with plenty of rage.I wouldn't be surprised if we see a list of most jrpg score from EDGE over the years.
This one isn't really spectacular and Heavy rain is too niche of a title to incite much rage.There was a lot of rage for Dragon age
rigins getting a 5. :lolStumpokapow
listen to the mad man
If people are going to piss and moan about how frequently EDGE is wrong, they could at least look up some historical scores. At least then the thread is list wars, which is better than just totally unfounded bitching.

To be fair they reviewed the 360 version of DAO.

EDGE gave FF XII a 9/10: "A work of progressive genius that hauls its staid genre up by the bootstraps and takes its place alongside the WOWs and Oblivions of this world".

Any text on this?
Traditionally Edge cares more about gameplay and mechanics than they do about story.
sounds like this might be why.....also....

Dante's Inferno is about 3 points too high, but whatever.

I swear Edge are just rolling dice to decide on review scores.

I'd say that it's finally official then.
Mass Effect 2 is fucking awesome.
Not to say that reviews were necessary to confirm that, but this was probably the last big review for it.

I'd wager the main reason for the difference in graphics is due to the difference in scale, I don't think there's a huge difference in the quality of dialogue (as a matter of fact given the only time you hear from your team in ME2 is on the Normandy and on character specific missions I'd say the way in which DA implements dialogue is far superior), and clichéd space is better than clichéd fantasy? Or did they feel Bioware resolved the issue by not really including much of a plot at all?
Needless to say I don't think there's any way you can call Mass Effect 2 almost twice as good as Dragon Age unless you despise WRPG mechanics and adore polished but simple pop-in pop-out of cover based gameplay in repetitive, poorly designed levels. In which case I think you doing your readers a disservice by letting somebody who enjoys a genre review a game in it whilst having somebody who hates another genre review a game in it.
