All high quality games, but:

Killzone 2: It has a lot to make up for and I dont have much faith in it. After the hype for the orginal, the game was mediocre. This one strikes me as similar, sadly.

Mario Galaxy: I will be very surprised if it isnt the top rated game of that lot.

Smash Bros: It will be good (damn, it will be awesome) but no reviewer will give it above Galaxy by default.

So, lemme get this straight... You think Mass Effect will be the worst game BioWare has ever made?

If they even reference EA anywhere on the box then it automaticly drops %10.

My picks for surprises:

I think Call of Duty 4 is going to impress a lot of reviewers. All the early hands on talk about how much fun they've had, and I think that's going to translate to abnormally high scores for a sequel.

---

I really think Rock Band is going to get some glowing reviews. The price is a buzzkill for some people, but the gameplay looks great (as you'd expect from the makers of the original Guitar Hero as well as Karaoke Revolution). I fully expect it to shine above the competition (Guitar Hero 3 and SingStar).

Only titles I missed by much on were GH3 (didn't believe in Red Octane's ability to hold the series up), Uncharted (game improved a LOT in the last month or so of development) and SMG (figured someone somewhere wouldn't like it, but I was wrong ).

Methinks you used the score for Guitar Hero 2, rather than Guitar Hero 3, which actually has an 85.
