The Made2Game Instant Review Page

The Made2Game Instant Review is where we unfairly predict a game’s average review score based on nothing more than a trailer, a press release, a screenshot or even just a logo…

A game gets announced. Perhaps there’s a trailer to go with the reveal, or perhaps there’s just a press release or a piece of concept art. Whatever, drawing on our many years of experience playing and writing about games, we then award this game a predicted score and a few lines of ‘sample’ verdict. Once it’s been published it’ll be collected here and after the game is released we’ll update this page to show you how brilliant we are. Or how stupid. Either way it’ll be here for all to see.

Dead Island

Instant Review score: 64% Sample quote prediction: “Dead Island was always going to struggle to match the almighty hype caused by thattrailer but this is inferior survival horror blighted by repetitive action and a stodgy narrative.” Dead Island release date: Second half of 2011

Actual Metacritic score: 71%

Verdict: Not that far off. 

Amy

Instant Review score: 76% Sample quote prediction:“The best survival horror game on a Sony console that features two young girls as playable characters since Project Zero 2: Crimson Butterfly. It’s nowhere near as good as that, but then what is? Not bad for a full-fat PSN adventure, though.” Amy release date: Sometime in 2011

Saint’s Row: The Third

Instant Review score: 84% Sample quote prediction: “Like GTA’s dumb step brother who has more fun and gets laid more, Saint’s Row The Third is plain and simple fun and we wouldn’t have it any other way.” Saint’s Row: The Third release date: Winter 2011

Actual Metacritic score: 85%/83%

Verdict: Spot on!

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City

Instant review score: 62% Sample quote prediction:  “Not quite as good as Gears Of War. They should have made a new, full-fat single player game instead of getting in on the online multiplayer act.” Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City release date: Winter 2011

Max Payne 3

Instant review score: 74% Sample quote prediction: “Like Max himself, this threequel feels old and tired and is stuck in a different, simpler time, but still shows occasional glimpses of its former greatness.” Max Payne 3 release date: Second half of 2011
