There are 8 exclusives from Onyxmeths list that are still to come this year and heres the challenge - can you pick their metacritic score before they arrive?
These are my picks for the ratings for each game.
90%+ AAA games:
- Gears of War 2 (I would think 96% like the last game)
- Banjo Kazooie, looks like fun and critics reward innovative games ( 92% most likely for me)
- Left 4 Dead - So long as they treat it nicely with regards to graphics I would have to give it a good shot at 92% metacritic.
-
Fable 2 - Looks pretty awesome, its ironic that this is really the first game of this type this generation aside from Oblivion. Should be reviewed - 93% as well based on feedback from E3.
85%+ AA Games:
-
Last Remnant - Looks like the best JRPG to come this generation so far, it seems like quite a lot of fun. 87%
80%+ Great games
- Infinite Undiscovery - looks pretty good, it strikes me as quite a fun JRPG but doesn't show quite the same feel and polish as Last Remnant. 81%
-
Too Human - Its going to be loved by some, hated by some but I think it should manage a respectable 80% showing.
70%+ Still good but falls to the lovers of the genre/series a lot.
- Tales of Vesperia, probably 78% like Lost Odyssey
So do you think you can do better than me? Lets predict how the 8 major exclusives left for the year perform huh? Lets keep score - if you're spot on get 5 points, if you're within 1% either way get 2 points and if you're within 2% either way get 1 point.
Entry closes August 9th - A week before the release of Too Human and Tales of Vesperia.

Decently high score. Will dock points for VA & Story |

80.9% |
Great score for a Tales game. |
| The Last Remnant |
78.9% |
Won't be as good as some think |
| Too Human |
74.9% |
Hated by critics, but will do we in terms of user reviews |
|
Fable 2 will also deliver on the hype unlike Fable 1. Infinite Undiscovery might have a point or two docked down for VA but not so sure about the story since reviewers probably don't have very high standards for stories in JRPGs since 90% of them are cliched. The Last Remnant could do atleast 85% if S-E puts enough polish in to it. I am not expecting the scores for TpV to be that high though, maybe late 70s, early 80s
