I don't see Captain Toad getting in the 90s, more like low-mid 80s. And I wouldn't underestimate LBP, hasn't had a game score under 87 on Metacritic yet (aside from the Karting game).

I say Toad because its been a dark horse at every showing where gamer-press has had a hands on with it. We know very little about it as a whole, so I am basing my opinion on this fact and, as per consequence, the fact that it was even made into a game based on fan request/reception.These sorts of games tend to have more than their fair share of developer love poured into them as they wouldn't generally exist otherwise.

As for LBP, there's been a definite drop in quality since the first (which was great) and this next version really feels like a bit of a throw-together on the old engines that still support the PS3. It'll be a good game, <85 is not a bad score, but it feels like it lacks the spirit of the first and may involve many of the utterly stupid mechanics of the second. For reasons of contrast, E3 set the comparison itself when you saw LBP3 and YoshiWW.

I don't agree, but don't feel like discussing this, let's just leave it at that. LBP3 is to me just as much a candidate for a 90+ score as Toads Treasure Tracker (not extremely likely, but possible, remember I bet that Dark Souls 2 wouldn't be beat by another game this year) is and the Yoshi WW comparison seems rather pointless unless you want to discuss grahpics/visual design.
