Splinter Cell is a good bet for game of the year after the cheers and inception at E3. Best graphics of 2009 goes to Forza 3. And Halo ODST. It's gotta be 360 this year. And I think Metacritic will show this to. Forza 3 has the possibilty to score meta 96+ and Splinter Cell looks to go above 90+ as WILL Halo ODST. Regardless of what some lame Left 4 Dead PC fans say Left 4 Dead 2 will also be amazing. Bright year for 360. Sony has some good games to. Uncharted 2 and KZ2 being he only ones that will get metacritic above 90%. Oh and Ninja Gaiden 2 is not exclusive.

ROFL!

Are you serious? Do you know how many games score 96+?

GTA IV, The Orange Box, Super Mario Galaxy, BioShock. Four games this gen.

The first one got it on brand name alone, the second got it from outstanding value (and excellent quality of each component), and the last two got it by being absolutely phenomenal. They were the games that pretty much everybody loved. Classics, and leaders of their genre and console.

And you think that Forza 3 has a chance of joining that elite class. 90+, certainly, but not 96.

Anyway, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Crack in Time (Tools of Destruction was 89. Tools of Destruction. This game will be better in every way.) and MAG will all be 90+ games (perhaps not the last one, but it will be 85+ for sure).

I still wouldn't say Conviction has a shot at GoTY. Yes, there was a good showing, but even at its peak, Splinter Cell was never that amazing. And it's got really tough competition- Killzone 2, Uncharted 2, Alan Wake, Forza 3, Street Fighter IV, Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed 2, BioShock 2...

Halo ODST will be 90+ even if it sucks (it won't suck), Conviction is a definite possibility, but might just miss the mark.

Well if we're going by the infamous 90 AAA, 360 stands a higher chance with its titles.

360

For starters Forza 3 is doing nothing but impressing, with every other game in the franchise being 90+ then this stands the highest chance of clinching AAA.

Halo ODST, Its Halo FPS, by Bungie, need I say more? AAA Confirmed.

Left 4 Dead 2, now the first scored 89, the sequel promises (and by previews looks much MUCH better) to deliver more. I don't know if the backlash of releasing it so soon will be taken into account, it really shouldn't as thats nothing to do with how the game is itself but you know what these reviewers are like, expect the 360 version to get 88 - 93 and the PC version to get a considerably lower score

Splinter Cell Conviction, The game looks great and I think this can easily make AAA but there is no solid guarantee it will. So this is up in the air.

 

PS3

Uncharted 2, really don't know much about this game but liek Left 4 Dead if it gets enough tweaks and irons out the problems with the first then it should no doubt make AAA as the 1st got 88

Ratchet & Clank, the same COULD go for this but all previous R&C games havn't exactly set a AAA trend (and there have been a fair few of them) Its really hit and miss as to whether this can make AAA but the last scored 89 so who knows?

MAG, New IP don't know much about it so can't comment. You really have to wait for reviews to judge what this will do ...
