Seems like an opportune moment to summarise where we are whilst waiting on Ironhide's next pic

No takers in Action/Adventure yet which seems sensible given the breadth in the field. Still two metacritic 90 picks to take and that field is thinning somewhat especially with XC, FIFA and Walking Dead being taken in other categories. Maybe some tactical thinking by Tomous and Drumstick?

Ah yes, I saw you on their Discord!

I've been paying passing attention to this. Bad to vote for Drumstick solely on the grounds of Xenobl... Hang on.

XC released in Europe in 2011!

Stewards enquiry in progress....

Ah Drummy has been done by Metacritic there.

If I recall, it's a slightly unusual case where NoA werent even going to bother releasing it until they saw it doing well in Europe.

Edit: Operation Rainfall

If I need to select a replacement, I'll take The Witcher 2, the 360 version was released in April 2012.

Does everyone accept Drummy replacement? I'd rather not wind it all back to when he picked XC but if there is a strong opinion then we can.

I'll also try and cross reference everyone's picks so please leave a little time before dropping your next one each time.

Looks good, fits the adventure genre I guess (could maybe have also qualified as puzzle)

Can I swap it into the Puzzle category?

Sure as long as Tomous hasn't gone yet.

What happens if all metacritic 90+ picks are gone in a year (whether in that category or others) and someone has yet to fill that category? Do they just miss out and end up with a blank in their lineup?

My guess is he knows there's more than 4 metacritic 90's this year so he's picked the catagory. Maybe on a different year it wouldn't be this.
