Feb. 10 - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Feb. 17 - Street Fighter IV
Feb. 19 - Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II
Feb. 20 - The Sims 3
Feb. 24 - Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop
Feb. 25 - Killzone 2
Feb. 26 - Halo Wars
March 3 - Empire: Total War

Which will be the first game to get an +90% average?

Street Fighter IV and F.E.A.R. 2 both have good shots at it, but I am not sure. Should neither of them get 90+, then it will be Killzone 2 for sure.

None of the above games will be AAA titles.

Burnout: The Ultimate Box

Feb. 05 - Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box (just to ruin it)

The original scored ~88%. A cheap price and a lot of added content could push it to a 90%



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

SF IV, KZ2, SO4.

Street Fighter 4 has already recieved very good scores, so I think that could be the first game

2nd should be Killzone 2

I expect the other games to fall short of 90 or do significantly less (Dead Rising, Halo Wars, maybe Deadly Creatures - all of them 70-85)

Technically, Killzone 2 is already there (http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps3/killzone2)

So, Killzone 2.

If we're going by release date, Street Fighter IV.

March 3 - Empire: Total War

Why are people even predicting those last two? Is Killzone 2 going to drop from a 97 to an 89?
Ultimate Box should be high 80s, Deadly Creatures...no idea. FEAR 2 high 80s, SFIV low 90s, Dawn of War II high 80s, Sims 3 high 80s, Dead Rising...no comment, Killzone 2 mid 90s, Halo Wars high 80s, Total War low 90s.

FEAR 2 or SF4

I've played sf4 in the arcades in japan, and so long as they don't mess up the controls on the transition to a controller, this game is awesome.

FEAR 2. even if they used the same tech for everything and touched up the graphics, it'd still be rated highly
