Fable 2 - 89
Banjo Kazooie - 84
Left 4 Dead - 85...though I think it will deserve a 90+
Saint's Row 2 - Who cares, jk....I couldnt tell ya!

Noone has faith in L4D and SR2.

With the exceptions of Banjo and L4D which I think will score a little lower , I think Starcraft is spot on.

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.

although im against aggregated scores to measure how good a game is, reason being game A could get 87 base on 47 reviews and game B could get 90 based on 30 reviews, if the number of reviewers were the same total then it would be more of a measurement.

but on topic your prediction scores seem to be ok, but i would put bajo at 89 and gears 2 at 94, not 100% sure about L4D its more of an online co-op game so it could go either way

 



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

I think Fable 2 will reach 90, for Left 4 Dead, I doubt.

im not sure about L4D but saints row 2 could be a sleeper hit this fall, now gta4 hype has died down imo gta4 wasnt the 10/10 everyone said it was but saints row 2 looks fresh

Around the Network

1. Left 4 Dead 95% (More like 95.5% and a couple more 10's than gears overall)
2.Gears of war 2 95%
3. Fable 2 88% (Not having online co-op from the start could hit review scores)
4. Banjo: Nuts and bolts 84%
5. Saints row 2 88% (The 1st game really was underrated)



Saints Row 2 is not another GTA4 for sure... it goes more into the San Andreas direction which will be fine for lots of people... the graphics and gameplay are fine and the charakter custumizations are pretty sweet... to bad you only get three voices... and why are there next to a black anf latino getto voice a british accent for white people ??? We don´t sound like that... still kinda funny... my charakter is this black dude with white dreadlocks who speaks with a british accent but dresses like a bum... from what I have played from the game so far I hope it ends up having mid 80s scores... its nowhere near the last GTA but its still a pretty damn good game for people who like this kind of stuff...

Remember Left 4 dead is a valve game. It'll probably get extra points for that. I reckon 90 at the minimum (Unless its only great not amazing, but since when has valve failed us?)
