http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/bayonetta According to a lnk on a CNET site, metacritic is already hyping this to be the highest rated game this year. Which got me thinking:
1. Isn't this really early to be deciding the best game of 2010? It's been a week now.
2. Okay, yes it's got good scores, but remember: #1 and #3 rated games of all time (GameRankings) are getting squeals this year. One of which (Super Mario Galaxy 2) is a direct squeal. The other is Zelda with Motion+, both are sure to be top-10 contenders for all-time, not just this year.
And... Just remembered that there's a new Metroid Game, which if memory serves correct is also in the top-10
3. It's not even a GotY contendor. Everyone will have forgotten about it by the end of the year, and we'll have new CoD by then, plus all the other games I mentioned that aren't FPSs.
4.It's got a nasty sibling, hard to say Bayonetta(360) is the best game this year when Sega has managed to perfectly mangle the PS3 port. Surre the 360 version is a good game, but the pitiful PS3 port just might overshadow it in the end.
Bonus Rant: Ever notice that CNET has Game FAQs, GameSpot, Game Rankings, and Meta Critic? shouldn't these be like one or two sites max?
