Are you assuming it's the same reviewer that reviewed all three games? Or assuming that all reviewers share the same opinions?

AstroLad said:Has Edge ever announced if they round up or down from .5? Because for a few of those games, yeah if it's a 6.8 rounded down to 6, that makes a lot more sense to me, but if they do round up, there is no F*CKING way that some of their 6s are below 6.5.
I thought gaming publications were supposed to be all about "transparency" nowadays . . . why does it still have to be such a mysterious guessing game with these morons?
British developed game. British press looooooves to fellate British devs -- it's what they do.Mar_ said:This real? Deserves its own thread. The LBP fans will be ecstatic.

Kabuki Waq said:wtf @ the Price of Persia score.
Its almost as if Edge Values Gameplay over pretty pictures and sounds! WTF!
Jeff-DSA said:Hmmm, I think reviewers can be flat out wrong. In what world is it correct to give Sonic Unleashed the same score as Order of Ecclesia?
NOT MY WORLD!
Oh come on Edge, really?acm2000 said:Prince of Persia (360, PC, PS3) 5

acm2000 said:you do realise different reviewers review different games? not one poor guy playing every single game frantically to get a review done, everyones opinions are different, not right or wrong, deal with it
Jeff-DSA said:So they're just wildly inconsistent. Got it.
Duodenum said:Ask anyone here how they'd score any particular game and you'd get a lot of variability. Why do you expect everyone employed by a particular publication to have similar gaming tastes?
PepsimanVsJoe said:Honestly if Edge agreed with me 100% of the time there wouldn't be any issues.
Jeff-DSA said:I'm not looking for a magazine to agree with me, I just want some level of consistency so I know how to better understand their scale. Right now, it's just a crap shoot. It makes the reviews worthless from a scoring standpoint.
I thought Edge still didn't publish the reviewers.TheGreatDave said:HOW DARE ONE PERSON THINK POP IS A 5 AND ANOTHER PERSON THINK SONIC IS A 6.

Nah, I wasn't saying that. I just don't get how they said that an awesome game is totally average and a terrible game is above average.TheGreatDave said:They don't, but it's safe to say the games probably weren't reviewed by the same person...
I get disagreeing with reviews (They gave GTA4 a 10, they're obviously wrong on occasion) but this whole "they gave x an 8, so their review of y is invalid!" is still as old now as it's always been.
ItsInMyVeins said:Both DQVIII and TP are good, yeah. Although the latter definitely is reusing OoT's formula and because of that simply isn't as memorable as Wind Waker, OoT or A Link to the Past.

Well you like Katy Perry, so your opinions are questionable anyhow.TheGreatDave said:I don't think POP is awesome. Weird how that works!
freethought said:The award was best hardware, not best platform. Change the name of the award or change the winner.
lsslave said:With 1 score they managed to show they should not review games ever and stop pretending to be worth the wasted ink they make
First half of the review states that it is essentially the same game again. Then in the later half they say that the additions are largely damaging to the formula (a tank Patapon), an "undercooked multiplayer mode". Though the levelling system is more flexible, other more powerful Rarepons make the game super easy with the same old boss strategies and some harsh sounding repetition of stages.Danne-Danger said:So what did they say about Patapon 2?
Duodenum said:I'm guessing they meant best platform. Why would anyone care about an award for best physical hardware?
