Bioshock Infinite. If not, it'll probably be Pikmin 3, assuming that launches before TLOU. They're both June, right?

Bioshock infinite most probably...others from the list may make it too but the question in the ot is which game will be first.
I'm fairly certain bioshock infinite will live up to the hype and given its release date it's a no brainer. ( I think LAST OF US, GTAV and PIKMIN 3 might do it as well, will at least be in high 80s but won't be first cos of their release schedules obviously!)

I don't know based on GoW Ascension barely getting an 80 I think the chances of The Last of Us getting above a 90 dropped. I know they're separate games and not related so why would their scores be, I get that I'm just saying I'm sure everyone thought GoW Ascension would score a lot better so I'm not holding my breath on anything getting above a 90 until GTA 5.

yeah I dont know why i feel it wont get 90.  I mean I am going to play it 84+ regardless. If it does get higher even better for me lol

Bioshock 2 was sub-90 so this series is 1 for 2 so far. I suspect B:I will return to form but it's no certainty. The only certainty is that critics will drool over GTA V. It is basically an auto 90+.

I think TLOU will end up in the high 80s, just because it will fall short of some reviewer's expectations.

You missed Xenoblade Chronicles, 92 on Metacritic. I hate when people forget about Wii games. One or 2 games had the Wii last year, and one of them was critically acclaimed. That should speak something good.

The Last of Us genre makes harder for it to get above 90, but not impossoble of course. Bioshock 2 wasn't that good compared with the original one, so it is hard to predict. Pikmin 3: The Return of an Army, will be the first true HD game from an internal Nintendo's development team, because of that it will probably not be as polished as it can be, hurting some reviews.,

xenoblade came out 2012 bro,

Bioshock 2 was made by a different team I believe. The team making Infinite is the same team that made Bioshock 1. (I think lol). Either way hopefully it does well, really looking forward to it.

The Last of Us certainly has a chance. we've seen gameplay and so far it looks great. It's really hyped too. Hopefully the multiplayer doesn't hurt it (we have no info regarding that). I expect, and hope for good things.

Never been interested in GTA, but yeah it's massively hyped.

yes, i know, i got it at launch. Are we on 2014 already? he said last year were two game above 90, missing Xenoblade. 

If you want to argue that Xenoblade is a 2010 title, that is another story.  But I guess because it was released on 2012 on the west, it should couns as one.

100% chance Bioshock.

Then again Tomb Raider deserved it and did not get it so who knows.
