League Overview:
Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

League Overview:
Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

How many of those 90 score games have less than 20 reviews? I feel like Turbo Overkill getting a 90 with 11 reviews would have been really cheap to count towards compared to a game with 90+ reviews. It is sooo easy to score really high (or low) with very few reviews. Maybe a minimum of 20 (30? 40?) reviews or something needs to be in place
Games thst don't get a ton of press don't get a ton of reviews. I think 11 reviews is plenty. Apogee has been doing some cool things lately to make themselves relevant again.

11 reviews is definitely not enough in my opinion. You add 5 reviews to that game that are mixed in the 70s or 80s and that drastically changes the overall score

Those games are not games anyone would even have on their list though. So you don't have to worry about that. And there are only 3 games above 90 that have 11 or less that would be eligible for this. And there is no way anyone here knew they existed before their lists were submitted.

So you don't have to worry about that. And there are only 3 games above 90 that have 11 or less that would be eligible for this. And there is no way anyone here knew they existed before their lists were submitted.
Fair point :)

I knew about Turbo Overkill since I'm on Apogee's discord. But my list this year was all games that hadn't even been announced at the time

I'd wager even with you knowing about it, you still wouldn't have put it on your list.

Not this year, this year was for unannounced games that probably wouldn't happen (but surprisingly 3 of them were announced, although 2 of those are 2024 releases).
Missed the boat on Lego (2K drive came out but I had called for Comic book lego game).
Also missed out on Tetris because although MyArcade released a new handheld with a custom version of the game on there, I don't think it got any metacritic reviews.
But I think I did all right with predictions on what would be announced or released, all things considered.

I remember really liking the first game. I think it was free on PS+ at some point on PS4, like 5-6 years ago. I'll have to check the second one out at some point.

Okay guys, OP has been updated with scores for Like a Dragon Gaiden (79 on Metacritic) and WarioWare: Move It! (75 on Metacritic). I think those are the last two games for the year, but I'll go through later on just to confirm that. If those are the last two then I'll do a final tally, add alternates to people's final score, and we can wrap things up for 2023!

Of the mainline WarioWare games (meaning not counting the two low effort spin-offs on DSiWare and WiiWare or Game & Wario which was more of just a tech demo for the Wii U GamePad than anything), this is the lowest rated game in the series now. I almost picked it up on Friday when I was at Walmart but talked myself out of it because I know from the previous game that once I've played all the mini-games I will probably never play it again.

I think part of the problem is that it feels like we just had WarioWare get it together releases not too long ago.
Looking at Wikipedia it was 2 years ago but it's not really a series we need refreshed very often IMO.
Also i was pulling for a new Wario platformer

Okay peeps. I've updated the OP and everything is now final. @Shane12m finished 1st, @Best1989 finished 2nd, and I just held off @PizzaTheHutt for 3rd place. Wild year and congrats to both Shane and Best. I'll send you guys PMs with your prizes in a few minutes.
Such a wild year. Everyone has gotten much better at this game and I think this has to be one of the best years in gaming history, at least as far as review scores are concerned. So many games scored over 90. @TalonJedi87 finished 10th with 863 points but that would have been enough to finish 1st last year!
Tears of the Kingdom and Baldur's Gate III both scored 96 and were the best reviewed games on our lists. Forspoken (64) and Redfall (56) were the two most disappointing high-profile games. Those two definitely killed a few lists.
Thanks for participating everyone! I'll have the 2024 edition up and running sometime in December.

It was a close one for sure. Alan Wake II dropping from 90 to 87 cost me 3rd place.

This was a fun year. Congrats to the top three.
Next year the winner will only have a score of 724, due to it being the worst year on record, lol.

How does this work? It's based off of predictions on what scores/ratings upcoming games will get?
