It's time to break out the crystal ball and predict some GS and IGN scores! Why? Because it's fun to do now, and look back on later. How good am I at it? I'm horrible, which makes it all the better. So as July rolls on and August looms on the horizon, some games will be released, and GS & IGN are bound to review them sooner or later, but you don't need to wait for their scores, I already know them:

Paper Mario (Wii)
The N64's only noteworthy RPG hits the Wii's Virtual Console soon, and I expect some major praise. But no re-release, no matter how good they are, will be superb. I'm seeing an 8.5 from GS. Those lightning fast reviewers at IGN already gave it a 9.0, so no prediction from me.

RESULT: GS gave it a 9.0 (+0.5), I'm pretty surprised at this one, I guess a re-release can be superb.

Guitar Hero: Rock the 80s (PS2)
An expansion of last years hit Guitar Hero 2 provides 30 new hits from the colorful 80s. I'm getting a vision of it recieving an 8.0 from GS and an 8.6 from IGN

RESULT: GS gave it a 7.0 (-1.0) and IGN gave it a 7.2 (-1.4)....This is off to a horrible start! Thanks a lot GH...

NASCAR 08 (360 & PS3)
I don't know diddly squat about the most boring of sports, but the previous games seem to have been fairly praised. This is a first attempt at the series on next-gen consoles, so I don't expect the best results. My crystal ball tells me that it'll recieve an 8.0 from GS and an 8.2 from IGN

RESULT: GS gave it a 6.0 (-2.0) IGN gave it a 5.0 (-3.2)...............wtf, I'm cursing these poor games!!!!

Escape from Bug Island (Wii)
Bug island is an island infested with over sized bugs, and the game looks pretty crappy. I have a hunch that this cheesy little game will recieve a 5.5 from GS and a 6.2 from IGN

Alien Syndrome (Wii)
A top down shooter from SEGA pits you against alien bugs and stuff. Doesn't look like the best experience from the 5 minutes I saw On the Spot. It's a horrible assumption based off of 5 minutes of gameplay footage, but it's good enough for me. I'm seeing a 7.0 from GS and a 7.6 from IGN

RESULT: GS gave it a 5.0 (-2.0) IGN gave it a 5.5 (-2.1), I'm suck sooo bad at this

Super Mario Strikers Charged (Wii)
Mario is still playing sports, and the fun little soccer game with some online options looks like it'll recieve an 8.0 from Gamespot and an 8.6 from IGN

RESULT: GS gave it a 7.5 (-0.5) IGN gave it an 8.3 (-0.3), oh thank goodness, something relatively close

I wish I did this a little quicker so I could have added All-Pro Football, NCAA, and Bomberman predictions before they went up, but oh well. Now it's just time to wait and check back to see how poorly I have done.

Overall Results: I'm not cut out for this
