I'm not sure how safe reproducing the review scores is on legal grounds, but personally I'd put a lot more faith in the actual review than on the score anyway.

Yeah, me too, I rarely consider a review score to be important. I figured that if someone's interested enough, they can google the game and read lots of reviews. alternatively if a game considered to be a turkey gets a surprise high score, I'd look it up.

No mention of S.T.A.L.K.E.R at all though, odd I thought.

I think it's a great idea, and would like to see this as a regular feature.

What do you think Fatherjack & Spoodie?

Trackmania would perhaps deserve an 8 without StarForce. With it, it is a bulging sack full of Fail.

Edit: It's a nice idea, if you buy it anyway. Gives us something to discuss.

Seems like a good idea. Edge were doing this on their own website a while ago but seem to have stopped now. This hasn't been updated for many months.

I tried that Ratchet and Clank PSP game and was thoroughly unimpressed. Nothing particularly broken just not that fun.

Ooh, my first sticky

*5punks*

I'm subscribed to Edge, personally I find it to be the least biased of the mags, plus it's good for what's going on in the games industry, as well as its reviews. Anyway, I'll keep doing an at a glance post of the scores along with anything else I reckon may be of interest to 5punk when the new issues roll around. Only drawback is that it can become a wee bit dull at times

I was considering doing a scan of the feature on The Crossing but I know that'd be less than acceptable from a copyright POV. It's worth reading if you come across a copy though. If, however, you don't get Edge, I'll make a separate post somewhere summarising the article.

If everyone else is happy with this we could sticky each month's scores like we do with the game releases.

I agree. It's harsh but fair in most cases as far as reviews are concerned but can be hard to read.

I suspect it's not a good idea.
