No doubt.

Could very well be Infamous.



  

I dont think Infamous will be AAA.

Heavy Rain, Alan Wake, Uncharted 2, R&C, Forza 3 all have a good shot this year though. (If they get released of course.)



 

I think anyone who says a game has to get 90+ on Metacritic to qualify as a AAA title is an idiot.

The term has been around in video games for several decades now. Long before there was a metacritic. All that makes a AAA game is a highly polished, big budget game that gets some level of critical acclaim and sells well.

I mean, seriously, are you going to tell me that games like Burnout Paradise, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Fable II, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction and Dead Space aren't AAA titles because a few reviewers got sand in their vaginas and dragged down the metarating? Hell, Metacritic takes a B- and assigns a rating of 67! How the fuck does that make any sense? Metaratings are useful but they're sure as hell not the be-all, end-all that some people seem to think they are.

This whole idea of AAA games being those that are rated 90+ on Metacritic didn't even start gaining any sort of circulation until the last couple of years.

I would really like it to have a clearcut definition. Since noone shares the same definition, the term is practically useless. That bothers me.

Well, we don't always get what we want, do we? I suppose that's why the 90+ bullshit has gained so much traction, however.
