Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Predict the Metacritic scores of the Xbox 360's holiday blockbusters!

Predict the final (three months after release or so) Metacritic scores for the Xbox 360's biggest games this holiday season.

Here are mine:

Gears of War 2: 93

Fable 2: 87

Banjo Kazooie 3: 82 (it'll deserve more, but Nintendo fanboy reviewers will screw it to the wall)

Left 4 Dead: 90

Saint's Row 2: 89 (the first one was BRILLIANT)

 

I am aware that most of the titles I listed are exclusives, but don't feel bound by that.  Please list your Metacritic expectations for the above titles and any others you are interested in.

Around the Network

Gears 2 - 95, overhyped mess

Fable 2 - 85, Molyneux will not deliver on something, and will be reprimanded with this score

Banjo 3 - Haven't read the previews on the game, but mixed-good reviews ensure it of more than an 80

Left 4 Dead - 88 People are loving it, but doesn't seem 90+ material to me

Saints Row 2 - I hated the first one, but apparently people did, but in the wake of GTA IV being overrated, this will be underrated, to balance it out. 85

Will you look at that.

We are pretty close.

They're all pretty good games, 80s and 90s all around.

Any seventies for any of the games is blind fanboyism.

Fable 2: 94

Banjo Kazooie 3: 80

Left 4 Dead: 89

Saint's Row 2: 84
