Bloody hell the score for MOH is one of the lowest i have ever seen Edge give a big franchise game for a long time Good scores for Wii U games, be interesting to see what they say about ZombiU though.

[rmoxon]

Zombi u not that good then? Is it too gimmicky or what?

[Judge]

They claim that ZombiU falls apart a bit towards the end, with backtracking and some poor/cheap design decisions. The earlier sections are much stronger.

[teddymeow]

7/10 is a strong score.

Enough to warrant giving ZombiU a go.

[EvilBoris]

Highest Scoring game is Hotline Miami. nice.

[Family Fry]

Not that anyone gives a toss about a Hotline in Miami.

[EvilBoris]

No, let's all argue about our desperate Wii-U Preorders.

Surely the real scandal here is Halo 4... Edge scoring it the lowest in the series (bar Wars) and less than 9/10... I mean... Edge!

[chopemon]

Hotline Miami might be the best game released this year.

[JU!]

Cheers for the info NoelEdwards. Hmm expected ZombiU to get higher than a 7 watching it on You Tube. Thought it would be an 8. Gonna pick up a copy tmrw. Wow someone did not like War fighter a 3!

Also wonder about what they say about this. I heard A) It's the best Halo since Halo 1 and B) They gave one of the others a 10, which I thought Halo 4 was supposed to be better than.

Halo 4 is fantastic, I'm quite a long way into it & having a blast. For really keen Halo fans I think there is discussion that whilsts its a great game, it's missing some of the Bungee magic. For me personally it's the first Halo game that actually has been caring about the Master Chief and his A.I friend. Also I just can't believe how bloody great it looks. I think there are plenty of recent PC games that look worse on ?500 mid-range rigs.

I don't play MP, so that might also be a reason for dropping the score. (assuming the COD points/upgrades change was considered a backwards step.)

I'll look forward to reading the review to hear what the Edge had to say about it.
