I thought EDGE had stopped giving review scores or is that just an error on their website?

1. Bayonetta 2

Well deserved.

andymcc · Dec 17, 2014

didn't a lot of people on GAF say Bayo 2 wouldn't make a single #1 year end list? lol

codhand · Dec 17, 2014

This War of Mine OP

Jigolo · Dec 17, 2014

Can't wait to read more info on AK.

NEO0MJ · Dec 17, 2014

Surprised by how high Dark Souls 2 is, and that Ground Zeroes charted.

I wasn't expecting it from most major websites/magazines, but Edge was one of the few I could see it getting #1 from.

Thanks, copy/paste without noticing.

Their website is pretty much dead. Review scores have dissapeared from it. If you want to know the score for a review, go check metacritic.

thequickandthedead · Dec 17, 2014

First major outlet i've seen give ACU such a low score.

CorySchmitz · Dec 17, 2014

I like that cover.

That cover is incredible.

I do agree with this, though.

They loved the first one and i think it got GOTY too right?

Putty · Dec 17, 2014

Got to agree with the Far Cry 4 score, really loving it, moreso that DA which i sold after 30 mins 8(

Raxus · Dec 17, 2014

Wow. Farcry 4 a 9? I liked the game but I am shocked it was so well received by EDGE.

Grats to Bayonetta 2 on a well deserved GotY win.

Visualante2 · Dec 17, 2014

Eager to read the Far Cry 4 review.

Seems like a lot of typos in the awards list. Nidhogg what a curve ball. I was expecting everyone to have forgotten about this game.

Gloam said:

Lazy website error, still not fixed I should add.

They gave Brawl a 9 and Melee a 6 for comparison. The previous Dead Island games got 3s so they've out done themselves this time. These are the two lowest scoring Assassin's Creed games in Edge history.

All the previous (mainline) Far Cry games got 8s.

They gave their 2010 GotY to Mario Galaxy 2, which is very hard to argue against.

Future PhaZe · Dec 17, 2014

I'm having fun with Far Cry 4...but the level of "yea, it's another one of those" is at such a height here that I've left orbit.

Still worthy of a 9 probably but...

SEGAvangelist · Dec 17, 2014

Terrible top 10. No Forza Horizon 2 or Sunset Overdrive.

SSReborn · Dec 17, 2014

Yay! LBP

No, they gave it to Mario Galaxy 2. Only two sites gave it to Bayonetta that year, and both were small.

lilltias · Dec 17, 2014

I though the name was This War _of_ Mine, not _is_?

Majestad · Dec 17, 2014

Edge knows what's good. Go Bayo!

Nidhogg fairly recently released on console

curiosity piqued about This War of Mine..

Platy · Dec 17, 2014

Batman got turned into a metal hero

ViewtifulJC · Dec 17, 2014

I thought Bayo won GotY in 2010 as well, but it was SMG2. The two only 10/10 games of that particular year. Bayonetta 2 was the only 10/10 this year, so this seemed inevitable.

Bayonetta ranked #8 on their list of the ten best games of last generation, so its not surprising they'd be fans.

TomShoe · Dec 17, 2014

Does anyone have the teaser picture for next month's issue?

Bayo 2 GOTY

The rest of that list is pretty weird, though. Ground Zeroes? Ultra? Hmm.

Hmm..

Bayo 1 is better.

Shaanyboi · Dec 17, 2014

damn straight

Jirotrom · Dec 17, 2014

i agree with this top 10 list

Porcile · Dec 17, 2014

Smash 4 went down compared to Brawl? Weird, it's a better game in every way, but EDGE were never big on Smash to begin with, so I suppose more of the same was never going to cut it really.

Volotaire · Dec 17, 2014

I need to buy Bayo 1/Bayo2. I'd like to see the OlliOlli feature.

hodgy100 · Dec 17, 2014

Go LBP!

Lurch666 · Dec 17, 2014

Yep that caught me out as well.

the front cover is the arkham knight not batman.

Savantcore · Dec 17, 2014

Oh man, I need that OlliOlli feature.

Radec · Dec 17, 2014

Assassins Creed Unity : 5

I just saw this now.

#rekt

jimboton · Dec 17, 2014

No Grimrock 2 or Divinity Original Sin is disappointing. But I'm sure both LBP 3 and Far Cry 4 are more deserving of a spot

yeah right

.

Bebpo · Dec 17, 2014

Good to see some Ground Zeroes top10 love. Yes it's short and was $10 overpriced, but the game is absolutely fantastic and the best MGS has ever been.

Good list. Always find Edge reviews are the closest to my own personal tastes so I'll give anything they give a 9 or higher to a shot. The Sailor's Dream was amazing.

What... this is single handed the dumbest posts i have read. Why did you give up after 30 minutes its a huge game that opens up after an hour or so.

MechDX · Dec 17, 2014

Who else saw this image and though CoD: AW?

rakkadakka · Dec 17, 2014

LBP3?

I must be missing something.

EGM1966 · Dec 17, 2014

AC Rogue scored more than Unity (barely)?

Also where's Alien Isolation the riskiest and most challenging AAA level title in their top 10? The fools!

That 5 for Unity though.

Acquiescence · Dec 17, 2014

Looking all the more forward to playing LBP3 on Christmas Day now. Hopefully most of the bugs will have been ironed out by then.

Super Stardust · Dec 17, 2014

An 8 for smash? (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Kevin Shields · Dec 17, 2014

Nice to see the far cry 4 score... My GOTY. So much fun.

Plinko · Dec 17, 2014

LOL at LBP3 being on that top 10 list. I've put multiple hours into it. Not even close to top 10.

Of course, it is Edge, who have always overrated the series to begin with.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
