DISCLAIMER: This is not flaming war thread. If I come across anyone who attempts to make it into one, I will immediately report that member to a MOD. Insulting and personally attacking other members will not be tolerated.
The goal of this thread will be to provide gamers with a clear breakdown of the best that the XBox 360 and PS3 have to offer in terms of overall quality. It'll also help those, who are on the fence, decide which console has what they're looking for. Remember, consoles are only as good as their games.
NOTE: I will be working hard to consistently update this thread as quality games (78% and above) are released. Let's make this a constructive experience for real gamers, not one for closed-minded and ignorant fanboys. Thank you and enjoy!

Guidelines:
Exclusions - Games that average below 78% on MetaCritic are not included. Expansion Packs/DLC, XBLA, PSN, and PC games don't count. A game is still considered exclusive between the XBox 360 and PS3 even if it has a PC, Wii, or any other console counterpart.
Exclusives - Red
Overall Averages Restriction - If one multi-platform game scores above 77% and the other scores below 78%, the game below 78% will not be included in the overall average; it will only count towards the multi-platform average.
Excluded from Overall Avg.
