No doubt Origional N64 Version of banjo on xbla will make it 14.... Left 4 Dead will make it 15, Gears of war 2 will make it 16 and perhaps portal: still alive will make it 17.... bottom line is the 360 is the daddy when it comes to AAA titles and will remain so for the rest of this generation

 If Starcraft starts counting games like Banjo-Kazoie then technically he should also count the VC games for the Wii in his signature.

Edot: Why did I say entire the first time? What a ludicrous assertion!

 Lets see if he will start doing it then. Currently he clearly doesn't so I am betting he won't. I don't think it will stop him from counting Banjo-Kazooie though.

I'm surprised anyone would be counting xbla games, afterall they are reviewed on a completely different curve to regular games. It's like comparing apples to oranges, you cannot just add them together and get a meaningful number.

89.9% for game rankings... shucks.

My predictions for 90+ Metacritic score games...

100% Guaranteed:
Gears of War 2
Rock Band 2

Most likely:
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Castle Crashers
Left 4 Dead

Some chance:
Guitar Hero: World Tour
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Far Cry 2
Prince of Persia
World in Conflict: Soviet Assault
Mirror's Edge
Braid
Bionic Commando Rearmed
maybe one of the JRPGs

Not impossible:
Mercenaries 2
Saints Row 2
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Dead Space
Banjo-Kazooie XBLA

 

I'm going to guess 10 new games join the 90+ list by the end of 2008.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

This is Metacritic's judgment, not Starcraft's. Currently, there aren't any Virtual Console games that have a 90 average on Metacritic.
