Want To Play a Game? How About Betting on Next Gen Review Scores

OK guys, you’re an awesome community and I want to find a way to give back (while having fun). I also want to empty all of my steam gift games. So, I had this crazy idea for a competition. We’re going to place bets on PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One (Xbox) launch game review scores. You'll tell me in the comments what you think IGN, GameSpot, Polygon, and of course Giant Bomb give these hot new releases, and the most accurate prediction wins.

What you can win:

Civilization V

Civilization IV

Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes – Opposing Fronts

Company of Heroes – Tales of Valor

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Slingshot DLC

XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Elite Soldier Pack DLC

How to play:

Down below you’ll find a list of the upcoming titles for the PS4 and Xbox. You’ll need to guess all of the games and scores from IGN, GameSpot, Polygon and Giant Bomb. FYI, IGN uses a 100 point scale, Polygon uses a 20 point scale, GameSpot now uses a 10 point scale, and Giant Bomb uses a 5 point scale.

When the games are reviewed, I’ll check the average scores and find out who was the closest for each game and the overall accuracy of your predictions to determine the winner.

I will only be examining the PS4 and Xbox scores of the games. I realize that not every site will have a score for every game, and that won’t be counted against you. Reviews of the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 versions of the games will not be counted.

With your entry, tell me which game you would like to own. If there are multiple users who have the exact scores and want the same game, the winner will be the first entry.

I'll post the winners in the comments and I’ll contact the winners via PM for the best way to get you the game.

You must enter by Nov 1.

The cut off for the outlet's review scores will be Nov 20. If you nailed the Knack review, but it posted on Giant Bomb on the 21st, sorry, you're out of luck.

The games list:

Copy and Paste the table into the comment section as your submission. These are broken down by Cross-platform games, Xbox exclusives, and PS4 exclusives. For a chance to win you have to submit them all. As the review scores come in, I'll be filling in the chart with the official review score.

Good Luck, Have Batman.
