No More Heroes 2 should be added to Wii listing, pending more reviews of course, it's currently sitting at 90 on Metacritic.

On this same subject, I was pondering earlier how many AAA on metacritic titles we'll have this year.

X360 should end with 7 AAA titles this year (Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, Alan Wake, B2: Bad Company, Halo: Reach and Call of Duty 7).
PS3 should end with 5 AAA titles this year (Bioshock 2, B2: Bad Company, God of War III, Gran Turismo 5 and Call of Duty 7).
Wii should end with 2 AAA titles this year (Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Zelda Wii).

Needless to mention the list is flawed hehe. I do not take into account games unsure to release this year (MGS: Rising, The Last Guardian, The Agency) nor unnanounced titles for obvious reasons.

Wild cards IMO:

  • Fallout: New Vegas
  • Dead Space 2
  • ModNation Racers
  • Dead Rising 2
  • Red Dead Redemption
  • Lost Planet 2
  • White Knight Chronicles
  • Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom
  • Metroid: Other M


I think your list is a pretty accurate estimate. No more heroes 2 has a chance as well as your odball title that no one expects.  Also, I don't think COD7 will fare too well with the critics.

Im just having a hunch about Alien VS predator. It probably won't be AAA on Meta but I sense 85+ from the footage I've seen...

Aside from a few that I have mentioned all of these games have issues, but they seemed to have been given a free pass for some reason. Now I am not saying that these games are bad because they aren't. Except for maybe the CoD games. Too me it seems reviewers are now leaning towards the favoritism for a specific genre, series, or a specific console style of reviewing.

Seriously MW2 does NOT and is no way in the firey pits of hell a 94/100 game. Am sorry just no WAY.

lol, see you are basing things on your personal opinion in games. A reviewer tends to be opinion neutral and needs to look at the game and what it offers from a critical perspective. Not all reviewers do this...but they really should. Its their job.

I for one did not like Fallout 3, but that is a AAA game if I've ever seen one. Production, innovation, visuals, sound...everything was pretty much top of the line for that genre in 2008. I am not the fan of the genre, but I see the games quailities.

Game like Halo 3 and Orange Box...these games offer more quality fun gameplay than 95% of other titles on the market. While it may not be your type of gameplay...for the gamers that like that type of game, there really was no better value for their dollar.

So you don't believe being riddled with bugs is a detractor?  Fallout 3 has a huge list of glicthes, and not just random freezes or odd graphic output but also physics-breaking issues that can cause stuff to fly that shouldn't or that can get your character stuck for no reason.  Fallout 3 is a very poor example of game programming, and if that's not call to knock it down a peg then you're basically saying whether or not it actually works as it's supposed to is irrelevant to the quality of the game.

Now I'm not saying a game should get bonus points for not having glitches, but a game shouldn't be treated as one of the best ever if it's relatively likely that a player will have their game interrupted multiple times by multiple different programming errors.

I alwayts laugh when people say a game has huge game breaking glitches....

I played fallout3, beginning to end... not one glitch... not one...  not a single one.

what did you play it on? pc/360/ps3?

I'm with chi on Fallout 3 having glitches, it's forever freezing (the only game to ever freeze on my xbox, original and goty edition, I get stuck in the landscape/rubble, the pip boy glows bright green to the point where it's unseeable, the DLC was so bad I had to reinstall it several times just to progress the main story mission.

Did you have the game installed to your hard drive?

The same thing is fucking up your games like mine did, The 120 gigs are a piece of shit.. Delete some stuff so you get at least 55 gigs free or even 60 then your game will run fine.

 

For some reason when i get below 50 gigs my games decide to fuck up, fable 2 for instance, i was supposed to talk to that old bat but she never appeared.
