With just one phailed issue.

Mario Galaxy 10
Uncharted - 8
Assassins Creed - 7
Crysis - 9
Mass Effect - 7
Call of Duty 4 - 9
Kane and Lynch - 6
Tony Hawk: Proving Ground - 6
The Simpsons Game - 5
Zack and Wiki - 8
The Witcher - 5
Bladestorm - 8
Castlevania Dracula X - 7
Silent Hill 0rigins - 7
Hellgate: London - 6
Timeshift - 6
Mutant Storm Empire - 8
Guitar Hero III - 6
Beowulf - 5
Need For Speed: Prostreet - 6

www.rllmukforum.com

Bladestorm >>> Mass Effect? :|

Mutant Storm Empire >>> Mass Effect? :|

Beowulf = The Witcher? :|

Keep in mind, Bladestorm has not been reviewed here but is averaging 63% at GameRankings.com and Mutant Storm is averaging a 77%... while Mass Effect floats around 93% and of course a 8.5 here.

Is it just me, or does Edge Magazine need to no longer be quoted around these parts?

Lemmings = Owned with Mass Effect

I can see why someone would give it a 7.

The game was obviously rushed and unfinished, and it's combat system is bad.

I stopped trusting Edge's scores when they gave Odin Sphere and Phoenix Wright III a 6 and Prime 3 a 7.

You're acting as if review scores actually determine game quality instead of appeal.

No it hasn't been vaporized. Maybe they just didn't like it. And you can't really compare Bladstorm to Mass Effect. They're totally different games.

They also gave Witcher a 5 which is complete insanity. Crysis got a 9, which is nice (and deserving), but they definitely underrated Mass Effect and especially The Witcher.

The average score of an EDGE review is like a 5. That means Mass Effect is above average. There isnt much else to say, so stop freaking out.

Nevertheless, it's one issue. Out of many they have issued in the past. They may go back to normal next month. You're not going to pin down their credibility on one freak issue are you?

Every reviewer body have anomalies - GS have their share and so do Edge.

If everybody was scrutinised in the same way, then credibility has been vaporised totally, totally, in total.

Still, I'd like to read these reviews. Edge gives odd scores but they write very good reviews, and they usually back up their scores. I just seriously have to question the 5/10 for The Witcher. I wanna see their rationale for that.

giving mass effect a 9.5 would be sending out a wrong message to the develeoprs. it's kie saying it's okay torelease games that are full of problems.

7 seems abit too hasrch however.

As far as i'm concerned their credibility was vaporized when they gave Metroid Prime 3 7/10 and then gave Halo 3 10/10.

Dude dont mind him, he always bashes anything 360.

I myself am growing on the combat. Its not great but neither was KOTOR's combat and this game is basically KOTOR but different combat so far

And I love the film like look to it. If u play the game u know what I mean. It looks film like with a little grainyness to it, beautiful. I just wish they did KOTOR 3 cause I love the Star Wars universe... in terms of what is already in place etc..
