Their is nothing "elitist" about recognizing them, especially when your own company of choice, Nintendo, readily utilizes those two terms themselves on a daily basis. Ignoring those differences is nothing short of willful ignorance.ViewtifulScott

Well, it seems that Gametrailers was wrong that the platform genre will be revived after Super Mario Galaxy as this Banjo game flopped. It seems to us that Galaxy will be the best platformer this generation, as I do not see any serious contenders next year.

I nominate this game for "Most Disappointing of 2008."

i thought they gave a '9' to super mario sunshine?

Also take note Edge review in whole numbers and have only given 6 or 5 10/10 over 14 years lolsolidgamer

Or maybe that's just a trite way of expecting games to be reviewed. Review scores are, quite possibly, the dumbest thing in the history of video game journalism. I can only venture to guess that the reason they keep them is so they do not offend the illiterate gamers.

I never cared for edge scores. Since they usually suck. After seeing a 6 for resistance their scores are even more laughable. I would have accepted an 8 the lowest. Even the fallout score is ridiculous.

EDGE is harsh but they are mostly very fair. Reading their, usually well written, reviews gives a lot if insight into the scores. Also they use the full scale from 1-10 instead of the more popular 5-10. This means that a 6 from EDGE is still an very good game and shouldn't be compared to a 6 from gamespot.
