About 1 hour and eight minutes to go.

It's 7: 52 A.M. here, so I'll be up.

Uh, 9.7 methinks :3
No, too high... 9.4. Yup.

I think it will be a solid 9.
Or a 9.2

Basically in-line with what other publications have stated. I'd be very surprised of a sub 9 score.

If GTAIV got a 10, it is impossible for Fable2 to get below a 9 and if it does, then IGN reviewer should be shot.

It isn't hard to differentiate when a game is being favored or not. Clearly, IGN has a relationship with GTA. If Fable2 and other few games worthy of a decent score opened their legs to, I'm sure they would be blessed with a decent rating too.

P.S. I don't mean to say they do it all the time, but their have been instances.

Aren't you downplaying fable 2 a bit too much now?

You've been raving about this game, and when a review is coming, you are downplaying it... You've been watching McCain too often :p

It will be up at 2pm forum time, but I will be gone to the dentist by then.....

Thirty-seven minutes.

I'm a sucker for countdowns.

Actually, if you glance at my posting history, you will find I have always maintained Fable 2 will get around 85....

can you really not see what he's doing.

Starcraft was all hyped about Fable 2 saying it was the RPG of the year in each thread and so on

then when it comes close to release he suddenly starts saying he expects an"8.5" from reviewers.

He's just pulling a SONY....making sure there are low expectations so there is no way hopes can be shattered & so helping to make sure Vg Chartz doesn't see Fable 2 as a game that comparatively "got bad reviews" compared to LBP which releases at the same time.

I think its a smart game he is playing actually.....as if the case arises where Fable 2 does get below a 9 he can say I told you so Vg Chartz....why are you all disappointed

If the case arrises where the reviews are LOWER than LBP....then he can say....oh I expected an 8.5....so Vg chartz you shouldn't be surprised LBP won.

After seeing previews of Fable 2 and so on...only a fool would predict it would get below a 9....the game looks fantastic.

Yep, I remember several instances awhile ago where he said it will average about 8.5 on MC.

Use the site search if you doubt it.
