I'll only do the 90%+

Gears of War 2- unfortunately but considering its shaping up better than the first it would mean better reviews than the first. Which is just bad considering GoW shouldn't have had a cirtical rating higher than 85%. Predicting 95% because mainstream media game sites just love to piss me off.

Left 4 Dead- because its Valve haha. No doubts for this one. 93%


Yea that's it for me now haha. These 2 titles are the only ones so far that I think can do it. Whether deserved or not.

Anyone putting Fable 2 at less than 85% is risking my contributor wrath.

*reaches for banhammer*

Wait, WHAT!?! NO BANHAMMER!?!? This job sucks.

 

Most of the PS3 fans take marks off the X360 exclusive games because they are not on the PS3.

 

Or the letdown they remember from fable being way overhyped and not delivering like it was preached out about. Not saying fable was a bad game by any means but linear good/evil choices, COMBAT MULTIPLIER, and bloom as far as the eye can see really wasn't what I thought of when it was being touted as create your story type adventure.

There are 8 exclusives from Onyxmeths list that are still to come this year and heres the challenge - can you pick their metacritic score before they arrive?

These are my picks for the ratings for each game.

90%+ AAA games:

  1. Gears of War 2 (I would think 96% like the last game)
  2. Banjo Kazooie, looks like fun and critics reward innovative games ( 92% most likely for me)
  3. Left 4 Dead - So long as they treat it nicely with regards to graphics I would have to give it a good shot at 92% metacritic.

  4. Fable 2 - Looks pretty awesome, its ironic that this is really the first game of this type this generation aside from Oblivion. Should be reviewed - 93% as well based on feedback from E3.

85%+ AA Games:

  1. Last Remnant - Looks like the best JRPG to come this generation so far, it seems like quite a lot of fun. 87%

80%+ Great games

  1. Infinite Undiscovery - looks pretty good, it strikes me as quite a fun JRPG but doesn't show quite the same feel and polish as Last Remnant. 81%

  2. Too Human - Its going to be loved by some, hated by some but I think it should manage a respectable 80% showing.

70%+ Still good but falls to the lovers of the genre/series a lot.

  1. Tales of Vesperia, probably 78% like Lost Odyssey

So do you think you can do better than me? Lets predict how the 8 major exclusives left for the year perform huh? Lets keep score - if you're spot on get 5 points, if you're within 1% either way get 2 points and if you're within 2% either way get 1 point.

Entry closes August 9th - A week before the release of Too Human and Tales of Vesperia.

Interesting.

Game  Score Notes
Gears of War 2 93.5% Similar score to GoW1
Left 4 Dead 92.0% Very very high score for Co-Op
Fable 89.9% Better reviewed than 1st one due to Multiplayer
Banjo-Kazooie 87.5% Points docked for focus on vehicles
Infinite Undiscovery 82.0% Decently high score. Will dock points for VA & Story
Tales of Vesperia 80.9% Great score for a Tales game.
The Last Remnant 78.9% Won't be as good as some think
Too Human 74.9% Hated by critics, but will do we in terms of user reviews

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
