And it begins. I'll get perfect 10's from most of major gaming media, Metacritic score will be 99 and Skyrim will be the GOTY.

I doubt it. Skyrim is going to get very high scores, just like SMG2 did, probably lower anyway; but the most monumental game of this year is going to be Skyward Sword from the looks of the things.

 

[Gravijah]

so the edge review was real? huh.

 

[Diprosalic]

As I said, 10 from Edge is no surprise. They gave both Mario Galaxys 10s, so why wouldn't this gens Zelda be of the same standard?

i think they only gave the first one a ten and what's your point? if there ever was a game that deserves a 10 it's SMG.

 

[jonno394]

I'm glad to see EDGE giving it the perfect 10. EDGE is the ultimate bible for western game reviews imo thanks to actually utilising a system where 5 actually represents an average game, and not a 7/8 as every other media outlet seems to think.

I wonder who will be teh first to give the game an 8.x score while everyone else gives it 9.5+ to draw in thousands of hits to their website

 

[Gravijah]

nah, both SMG games got a 10.

 

[ASIS]

my SS copy.

How and why are you getting it so soon?

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is that EDGE on sell now?

 

[Diprosalic]

still wil not get GOTY from any major US site.

How and why are you getting it so soon?

basically just knowing someone. can't say much more.

 

[spekkeh]

That cover is great, am getting that.

1) this isn't made by EAD Tokyo, but EAD 3, which created six previous Zelda games, none of which received a 10
2) in fact, only ocarina of time, which is considered the best game ever, received a 10 by edge
3) Mario lends itself more to inventive gameplay and ingenious level designs, something Edge (rightfully) values very highly. Conversely, you can always criticize Zelda's story.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Sigh...oh how I do miss EDGE..

 

[BY2K]

Sigh...oh how I do miss EDGE..

Meaning... ?

 

[Gravijah]

it's funny how edge works (not really calling anyone out here)

edge gives game a good score: EDGE ARE THE BEST GAMING MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD

edge gives game a bad score: man edge are so horrible and overrated, they just randomly give scores out.

I don't know, I think Zelda usually has inventive gameplay and ingenious level design.

Game of the forever confirmed.

@petermolydeux
Edge magazine has given Zelda a 10? Even EDGE don't care about refreshing and innovative games anymore. Very sad day for gaming.

fake account but expect comments like this

 

[RPGCrazied]

So is this next months issue? Or can I go out and buy it now?

 

[zoukka]

10 from EDGE...

:3

 

[BY2K]

October 25th.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I used to live in the UK, so I could buy EDGE easily. Now, I'd have to order it online which would work out too expensive.

that twitter account is comedy gold.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Oh, is EDGE a UK magazine? ;/

 

[EatChildren]

Wee, op updated. I wonder who will be next.

 

[Gravijah]

Wee, op updated. I wonder who will be next.

game informer with a 6.75

 

[mentalfloss]

So if this becomes the next 10 out of 10 game, does that mean Wii has the hardcorest game of them all this gen?

It would be better rated than Uncharted, Killzonez, Gears of War, Mass Effect 2, Dark Souls..

This has some really good potential for tears.

 

[Diprosalic]

ign 8.5

 

[Michan]

Oh, is EDGE a UK magazine? ;/

How would the answer impact anything?

 

[Tadale]

A 10 from Edge puts me in full on hype mode.

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's one awesome looking cover......seems like a ton of good stuff in this issue!

 

[RPGCrazied]

How would the answer impact anything?

I want it?

 

[Yoshichan]

OH MY FUCKING G... 10 FROM EDGE?!

OIWSAHOIISAHDOIA HYPE

 

[radioheadrule83]

Relieved I wasn't lied to!

 

[Michan]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a nice cover.

Out of interest, what did SM3DL get? Please be 9, please be 9.

 

[ASIS]

still wil not get GOTY from any major US site.



basically just knowing someone. can't say much more.

If you manage to get me one in the same date as you I'm willing to pay twice as much.

 

[Michan]

I want it?

I think they sell to everywhere, but it might be a little more expensive. It's worth it, though.

 

[mclem]

Man I hope not. He usually seems to have a pessimistic tone when he talks about Nintendo franchises, as if they are in some sort of never ending, doomed to be horrible slump.

BurntPork!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Oh. I'll check Barnes & Noble sometime. The most expensive magazine is like $9.99.

 

[cws]

Never doubted Skyward Sword - cant wait to get my Limited Edition.

 

[BY2K]

I used to live in the UK, so I could buy EDGE easily. Now, I'd have to order it online which would work out too expensive.

Okay, you cool. I thought you could mean, something else...

 

[krYlon]

That's a nice cover.

Out of interest, what did SM3DL get? Please be 9, please be 9.

I don't think they've revealed the other scores, except Dark Souls.

I'd be interested to know the other scores, it could be a very high scoring issue.

Edit: Oh wait, they gave Arkham City a 9 and Rage a 7

 

[-WindYoshi-]

A 10 from Edge isn't what it used to be but still... media blackout goes into hyper mode now!

 

[JonCha]

Never seen the magazines in the UK. Who stocks it?

And Edge give out scores that mean what they are. Games should have to want high ratings, which is why I value Edge over everyone. GiantBomb are good, but their ratings put too many average-to-good games together.

 

[Cow Mengde]

Only a 10/10? Pre-order cancelled. I expected a 15/10 for Zelda.

 

[Leonsito]

Nice.

 

[Michan]

Oh. I'll check Barnes & Noble sometime. The most expensive magazine is like $9.99.

Oh, Edge is also available on the Newsstand if you have an iDevice.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Okay, you cool. I thought you could mean, something else...

Do I look like a troll to you? :/

 

[TheOddOne]

Day One.

Day One.

Day One.

 

[JacksUsername]

Wow at the Edge score. Hype increased.

Back to the media blackout - have been good so far; haven't watched any video since the Romance Trailer.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

A 10 from Edge, now that gets my attention.

 

[BY2K]

Do I look like a troll to you? :/

No, but you never know.

I'm sorry, alright!? *Runs*

 

[RPGCrazied]

Oh, Edge is also available on the Newsstand if you have an iDevice.

Nope. I have a PC. No way to get digital magazines on the PC?
