Well Fire Emblem Awakening already has.

For Home Consoles, Bit Trip RUNNER 2 already has.

And for actual released games, Bioshock has a chance

PC version has the most reviews with 9 and it's at 87.
WiiU version is at 5 and has 91.
360 version is at 4 and has 88.

As a few more reviews come in I'm sure it will be slightly lower than 90.

I'm worried that reviewers have overhyped themselves with Bioshock: Infinite and The Last of Us. They've developed expectations and when those expectations aren't met, they're going to take it out on the game. Since both are story-driven, I expect to see points taken away because quite a few reviewers now seem to be anti-story. I just feel like they're both going to be judged very harshly.

GTAV, on the other hand, is a GTA game, which reviewers seem to absolutely adore. I've never seen a series where reviewers are so willing to ignore flaws. So, yeah, that gets my vote.

With Bioshock Infinite develpment history I'm expecting a stealth turkey.


Yeah Im worried about that too.  Usually when a game is delayed this much and the development team changes so much its a very bad sign

GameReactor Swedens editorial staff accidentally revealed that they were playing the game and removed it but I and afew others were able to read short impressions :P. Well actually it was two posts.

 

First was the chief editor who said: One of our guys is playing Infinite and hes been playing it for a sweaty 13 hours.

Second was the guy who was playing it who wrote: I am playing a game right now, have been going at it for 6 hours straight now and oh my god is this game good. I cant tell you what game it is though yet ;).

 

The first one was removed, but it is very very obvious that it was infinite.

 

I think the game will rock :P


Oh Im sure itll be great Ive been hyped for Bioshock since it was announced

But there are some sign to leave me a tad bit worried.  Hopefully all the delays and staff changes have been for the better and have improved the game

Whilst true, it doesn't change the fact that it's the first console game of the year to score over 90 on Metacritic. We just need to see if it can hold itself there.

pointless topic. all games are great, and probably will get over 90 but bioshock will be out way before the others

Hopefully, BioShock Infinite. Unfortunately, with all the development hell it's gone through, I'm not going to hold my breath.
