Edge magazine is notoriously parsimonious when it comes to handing out 10 out of 10 review scores for video games but in the past three issues there have been three of them.
Halo 3, The Orange Box and Super Mario Galaxy have all been awarded one of the highest accolades in gaming - a perfect score from Edge. And plenty of other games have been given near perfect scores also - from Bioshock to Crysis, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Call of Duty 4.
The Edge scores are just one of a number of signs that reinforce a growing feeling that videogames are enjoying a golden age.
