Ok, now that we've got a taste of the new review system....I'm pretty sure we can squash all chances of a 10 coming this year (and some people thought there were multiple 10s coming). So....... what games seriously have a realistic shot at AAA for the rest of this year....?

Please don't put anything like Lair or Battalion Wars or Blue Dragon, because they aren't getting AAA. Make an actual list of serious contenders

360

  • Halo 3
  • Mass Effect

PS3

  • Ratchet
  • Uncharted

Wii

  • SSBB
  • SMG

PC

  • Crysis
  • Hellgate: London
  • Witcher
  • World in Conflict

Multi

  • CoD4
  • Rock Band and/or Guitar Hero III
  • Half Life 2: OB
  • Assassin's Creed (possibly yes, possibly no.....not sure on this one)
  • Unreal Tournament III

I'd take down World in Conflict and replace it with CoH: Opposing Fronts. I'm also not sold on Uncharted just yet, but R&C looks great.

Mercanaries 2. The first one was 8.8 on PS2, so Being that they fixed almost every problem, and that you can blow up sky scrapers, and that Xbox versions tend to be better, So I'd say Mercs 2 on 360.

I'll give you Blue Dragon because that game just plain doesn't seem very good to me, however Heavenly Sword has a great shot at it. If God of War can get AAA + constantly I see no reason why this wouldn't.

Ahh....yes, If I had included handhelds that game would be up there. Honestly, if any game has a chance at a 10 this year I think it would be this game.

to me it looks like plain ol' hackn'slash. On the other hand I think Haze isn't getting enough attention.

Super Mario Galaxy and Halo 3 are my choices. Super Mario Galaxy should get a 9.5. The game's gonna add something to the platform genre.

I don't think you guys realize how hard it is for a game to get a 10 here.

Do you guys really think folklore could score AAA? I played the demo and loved it but it seemed 7.5-8 range. It would be great if it did though.

Mass Effect, Crysis and World in Conflict. Thats it. I want to add SMG, SSBB, Halo 3, CoD 4 and Hellgate:London but I think those games are going to be too similar to their predecessors to score AAA under the new system. I hope I'm wrong though.

With the way GS has been reviewing games lately, honestly, Halo 3 is the only console exclusive I see most likely getting AAA.

Mass Effect looks great Story wise and graphically, but the gameplay looks kind of dull...

The last two Rachets got high AA and I don't think they round the scores up (or do they?) so it'll probably be a solid 8.5. Uncharted I really don't know about...

SMB was never an AAA series and if SMG is anything like Sunshine then you can forget it...

I see lots of multiplats doing well though...

UT3

COD4

AC (MAYBE)

Rock Band

World in Conflict

I think that we all need to reevaluate our look at a 9.0. Judging on recent scores, a 9.0 is like the new 9.4+. I think that AAA's will be much rarer than they were even before the new rating system. On that note, I can see UT3 getting 9.0 and I'm praying Mass Effect 9.5. But with the crazy reviews that have been coming out, who really knows?

You have to remember that Mass Effect is an RPG first, and the gameplay is a hell of a lot more exciting than the old Bioware "click the attack button and hope to god those behind the scenes dice rolls work out" system.

Ill go with an 8.5 or an 8. A great game, but nothing to write home about.

Ill be getting it either way.

Huh? Its made by a bunch of guys from Poland, they translated a Bioware game or two into Polish, but I'd hardly call that closely related. I think you'r confusing CD Project with Obsidian.

Halo 3 and Super Mario Galaxy are the only ones I can think of that have a chance. I think by Gamespot's pickiness with games that SSBB will be 8.5ed

It could be, we'll see by the end of 2007 but if GS games are consistently rated under the industry average (like Bioshock, and possibly MP3) it might turn out that way.
