I wouldn't worry the explanation is simple, Microsoft have delivered better games.
Not in my opinion they haven't, some of them are just plain overrated. Didn't Edge say something like they expect PS3 games to be beyond Xbox 360 games which is why they are reviewed more harshly?
So, you're saying there's a conspiracy against the PS3 and that Edge reviewers are making a point of marking down PS3 games, because they're on the PS3.
Bastards!!!
There ought to be a government enquiry launched. I think your onto something.
Killzone 2 ONLY getting a '7'
God of War III getting a '6'
And now Final Fantasy 13 getting a '5'
You don't have a choice anymore.YOU HAVE TO GO PUBLIC WITH THIS INFORMATION. They would have killed you already but you got a lot of light on you. Instead they're trying to destroy your credibility. Look at what's happening in GR, with Edge agents undermining your every post. Do something, anything. Make more incendiary posts, stir the gooseberry fool storm, hope to reach a point of critical mass that'll start a chain reaction of people coming forward, then Future will crack. Remember, fundamentally, people are suckers for the truth - and the truth is on your side, Bubba. I just hope you get a break.

Okay, well how many of you thing Halo 2 is a 9 and Halo 3 a 10, honestly?
What does Metacritic say?
Halo 2 = 95
Halo 3 = 94
Where does this leave your arguament?
Don't talk about Metacritic.

If you genuinely think resistence 2 is an 87/100 (metcritic score) game then I wouldn't worry too much about Edge reviews if I were you . I don't think you are their target audience?

You brought it up, by mentioning the comparison between the scores that Edge gave games compared to the scores Metacritic has for the same game.

My post
was fact-based.
Venom's contribution was so horribly ill-informed and rubbish that it really, really pissed me off. I was standing up for my journo friends. But regardless of the ire the original post caused me, I'm sorry for swearing at you, Venom. I should have grown a bigger vocabulary to explain exactly why the post was so wrong.
But then he dealt me a far bigger blow by casually claiming that I was in my 40s. The bastard. He wins the confrontation for that line alone.
Consolegaming, can you please give your keyboard away to charity or something?

No, they never said that. Perhaps in your imagination they did, but not in real life.

But they did say something about expecting more from PS3 thus reviewing their games accordingly.

I am pretty sure they said they expect more from PS3 games, I am not sure if I have the copy as I only recently resubscribed and it was a while ago.

I don't know the issue number, but it was in a feature, something about them reviewing each game on their expectations for the platform.

Firstly I'm sorry If I said you are in your 40s when your not. I based that on some video of somebody sticking their thumbs in the air and saying something like "Here's Bernie!" But I'm guessing that must have been Bernie.
Eighthours, when you say you were standing up for your journo friends are you saying that the reviewer of the FFXIII review is your friend? Because loyalty to your mates is a great quality. But why continue with your last post with your rudeness towards me? Why not let it go?! I mean I'm big enough to see that unless we are talking numbers, neither your post or my post are 'fact-based.' They are just opinion.
GRcade forums are a fun accompaniment to our shared passion of videogames. I've had friends stabbed, and shot at. Depending on where you grew up, London can be an unavoidably menacing place. I've been to the funeral of one of my best mates. Real people are what is important to me. So when it comes to the GRcade forums I can't think of something that somebody could say that would make me so angry, and rude as you got about a post which was not referencing you or anyone apart from some nameless reviewer. In fact Im dumbfounded by that irrational anger when there is real gooseberry fool going on.
In fact I remember on the old Gamesradar forums, somebody, wrote a similar angry and rude post about me because I wasn't spelling correctly and hadn't abbreviated correctly! From out of nowhere they started being rude, I cant remember the exact words but they called me 'an affront to the English language!' Disagreeing is fine, but I never sought to have a real argument with anyone so its strange that this person came out of the woodwork to go on a rant at me.
The point I'm trying to make is there are so much more important things to worry about. Take me for instance. Just because of a forum post I wrote I have suffered a torrent of abuse from a pompous lower middle-class pedant who delights in boasting of his superiority because of his 'journo' contacts within the video game industry in order to hide the inner self-doubt he has always felt because his obnoxious manner has unavoidably created barriers between himself and the rest of mankind. -But I'm not gonna let that bother me!
Peace bruv.
