I'm going to say Bioshock 2, or maybe God of War if it manages to come out this year (I don't think this game will suffer the same faith as DMC and Ninja Gaiden since GOW has always more acclaimed and just plain better than the last two).

 

edit:

Why are you all answering GTA: CW ? Street Fighter 4 has the exact same score, so it should definitely be a tie.

The highs of each individual series, God of War, Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden Black all peak at 94 on metacritic.

 

How about the average then ?

Ninja Gaiden: 91 94 88 83 81

Devil May Cry: 94 84 68 84

God of War: 93 94 91

 

As you can see, God of War is a lot more consistent and just plain better than the other two franchises.

 

 

As for Street fighter being lucky, maybe, but it's still sporting the 94 rating which is the same as Chinatown wars. They also have about the same amount of reviews listed (50 for chinatown, 58 for street fighter). As far as I know, the OP is using the metacritic standard so you can't really count those intengibles.

 

 

I'm not disagreeing with the quality of God of War. Out of the three series, it's the only one I absolutely love. The other two could go away and I wouldn't bat an eyelash. However, by Metacritic standards they have all peaked at exactly the same number. GOW is more consisitent, but you said "GOW was always more acclaimed" which just isn't true. There was a time in each series lifetimes when they each shared a similiar amount of praise.

Regarding SFIV, I was merely saying I believe the PS3 version is going to soon follow the 360 version down to a 93. It's reviews are trending lower, and I feel someone soon will give it a quick stab with another 80 or so and drop the average.
