By the end of this year...yeesh. I assume we're going with the Metascore with the most critics.

1. Far Cry 4 - 88
T-2. TitanFall - 86
T-2. Forza Horizon 2 - 86
T-4. Battlefield 4 - 85
T-4. Shadow of Mordor - 85
T-4. Walking Dead: Season 2 - 85
7. Little Big Planet 3 - 84
8. Assassin's Creed Unity - 81
T-9. Project Spark - 80
T-9. Watchdogs - 80
T-9. InFamous: Second Son - 80
T-9. Alien Isolation: 80

Off Topic: Am I wrong in saying I don't expect a single game announced so far to be in the Top 10 at the end of the gen with the exception of FC4?

Far Cry 4 in the top 10 at the end of this gen? That would be pretty sad in comparision to last gen! PS3/360 game 10 in the top 10 was a 95/10 game :P

None of the games so far this gen and the remaining this year will make it to the top 10 when it's all said and done for the gen. Not even the WiiU games released.

I'd argue an 88 will definitely have a shot; reviewers genuinely seem to be giving out harsher scores, or Metacritic is allowing harsher review sites, or something. For comparison, there were 9 original (non port/remake) games in 2013 that got a score of 90 or above (going by console with most reviews). This year, there's been a grand total of two console/PC original releases with 90s or above: Bayonetta 2 and Dark Souls 2. For some reason or another, reviews are getting progressively harsher; I wouldn't be too surprised if an 88 has a realistic chance at being in the Top 10 PS4/XBOne titles at the end of the gen.
