| I'm surprised nothing else physical for EMEA hasn't been delayed if it's down to drivers, like my Sonic can't get here, but my Life is Strange can. |

A lot of loopholes to get through, plus Life is Strange has time on its side. |

Life is Strange: True Colours
Sonic Colours: Ultimate
Deathloop
Warioware: Get it Together! Ok with these too although I'm a bit late saying as I believe there might be some Sonic reviews live already. |

| Sorry about the delay for Augusts scores, but I've totted them up now so here we go. No More Heroes IIIAs of today, NMH:3 weighs in with an open critic score of 76. A lot of us were in the right ballpark with this one, but Mas and Cappa both predicted the perfect scores. Psychonauts 2 has wowed critics this month, clocking in an almighty 89. Most of us predicted mid-80s for this one, but it's Mas and Rum who were closest, 1 and 2 points adrift respectively. 12 Minutes scored a respectable total of 75 despite a thoroughly mixed set of scores amongst professional critics. Most of us went for the safety of low to middling 80s except Smurf, who went close to perfect with a prediction of 77. Aliens: Firestrike The runt of the litter scored an average of 68 amongst critics. This one saw a smattering of guesses from high 70s to low 60s amongst most players. Cappa was the only one to venture into the middle with a guess of 70 dead. So what does that mean for the leader board this month, and how did I score Buska's football scores? - Augusts Scores:
1. The Cappuccino Kid - 15 (0-5-8-2)*
2. Treesmurf - 17 - (4 - 5 - 2 - 6)
3. Rum Rapture - 18 (3 - 2 - 6 - 7)
4. Masofdas - 19 (0 - 1 - 11 - 7)
5. Balladeer - 23 (5 - 5 - 5 - 8 )
=6. The Jaster 26 (4 - 4 - 8 - 10)
=6. Muss - 26 (2 - 8 - 8 - 8 )
8. Gjones - 31 (3 - 9 - 10 - 9)
9. Jimbob - 38 (6 - 4 - UNSCORED 28)
10. Crumpy Andy - 41 (7 - 14 - 12 - 8 )
11. Buskalilly - 416 (46 - 68 - 237 - 65)
*(NMH:3, P2, 12M, Aliens)
Really close at the top again, but our resident mystic meg is pipped to the post by the lovely jubbly Cappuccino Kid, whose perfect prediction on No More Heroes 3 made all the difference. Mas and Rum were only a couple of points adrift too, both undone by Aliens and 12 Minutes.
At the other end of the table I should probably come up with some sort of punishment for incorrectly predicting an unscored, but he only beat Andy and Buska this month, one of whom won't care and the other would be crumpy either way. Buska's football scorelines were interpreted as his predictions, including a beautiful 312 for 12 Minutes.
And now for the overall leaderboards - Spoiler:
=1 Treesmurf & The Cappuccino Kid (10.5)
3. Masofdas - 13
4. Rum Rapture - 13.5
5. Balladeer - 16
6. gjones - 18
7. Muss - 19.5
=8 Jimbob & Crumpy Andy - 24.5
10. The Jaster - 26
11. Buskalilly - 218
These are all our average scores. This month was definitely tougher to predict than last month, where all the games were pretty safe 8/10s, so poor Jas is down near the bottom. I might take each player's best 3 scores or something like that once we get enough predictions in the bag. It's still pretty tight up and down the field though.
And here's a look at which players have predicted the most games perfectly - Spoiler:
1.Treesmurf - 2
=2. The Cappucino Kid - 1
=2. Masofdas - 1
And now for the games of September - As it seems like Sonic Colours - Ultimate, reviews are already dropping, I'll drop that in favour of Kena: Bridge of Spirits So our 4 games are: Life is Strange: True Colours Deathloop Kena: Bridge of Spirits Warioware: Get it Together! Try and get your predictions in by the 10th as that's when Warioware and Life is Strange drop.

| I'm pleased I was close about Psychonauts 2 anyway! And it's not my fault people can't give games a proper shoeing any more. - Blert:
Life is Strange: True Colours - 85. Pretty good, but people are tired of it now
Deathloop - 78. I bet it's not as clever as it claims
Kena: Bridge of Spirits - 88. Please, can we have a nice big charming game
Warioware: Get it Together! - 80. Sort of fun, but a bit watered down because of the mechanics

| Twas a good prediction, and hopefully you enjoy it whenever you get around to it. I've downloaded it onto our xbox but I'm not sure if I should play the original first. - Mah scurs:
Life is Strange - 86 - I'm sure it'll be good but not magic
Kena Bridge of Spirits - 82 - hope its better than this prediction. I might edit this one tomorrow once I've looked into it a bit more. Trailer is lovely.
Deathloop - 87 - won't be groundbreaking but it's a shooty banger that looks pretty.
Warioware - 79 - I'll enjoy it, I just feel like critics wont as much

| Enjoyed the league table totting up post Muss! - My scores on the door::
Life is Strange: True Colours - 79 - will be fine but won't match the original
Deathloop - 84 - a really good game that won't sell well
Kena: Bridge of Spirits - 85 - looks incredible but won't quite be an all-timer
Warioware: Get it Together! - 75 - some reason I reckon this will disappoint

| - If I have to share my psychic powers can Cappa share his bargain hunting powers please?:
Kena Bridge of Spirits - 80%
This is so difficult to predict, I'm sure we've all seen their Majora's Mask animation and this looks just as stunning, can they make games though? I'm gonna say it'll be safe, get the basics right and have those graphics boost the scores a little.
Life is Strange: True Colors - 78%
Still need to try this series but I don't think it'll score too high, think the bubble has burst a little bit and the power the main character has sounds really lame and has the potential to completely miss.
Deathloop - 87%
I don't know what it is but I'm not too hot on this, however everyone else is and the developers have a good track record so this should do well. The theme tune alone is at least an 87.
Wario Ware: Get it Together - 82%
I should really play the demo to get my own idea but nevermind, this series usually scores well and impressions on this are good, add in slightly budget price and lack of Switch competition in the last few months and this will review favourably.

| - I think I'm doing pretty well considering my utter Nontendo ignorance:
Life Is Strange: True Colours 82
Deathloop 79
Kena: Bridge of Spirits looks a bit try-hard for me. I think it'll get something fundamentally wrong. 75
WarioWare: Get It Together! will have a lot of fun-free fogeys voting it down. 72

| - Poop poop a doop:
Life is Strange: True Colours
84%. Based on little more than "I think the original was well received...?"
Deathloop
81%. I don't know what this is.
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
80%. I don't know what this is either.
Warioware: Get it Together!
78%. It'll probably deserve a bit more but critics will mark it lower because it's not up there with the pinnacles of the series.

| - My September Predictions:
Kena Bridge of Spirits - 80
"What'd you say, Norm?"
"Any cheap, tawdry thing that will get me a beer."
Life is Strange: True Colors - 85
(Coming in from the rain) "Evening, everybody."
Everybody: "Norm!"
"Still pouring, Norm?"
"That's funny, I was about to ask you the same thing."
Deathloop - 85
"What would you say to a beer, Norm?"
"Hiya, sailor. New in town?"
Wario Ware: Get it Together - 81
"Whatcha up to, Norm?"
"My ideal weight if I were eleven feet tall."
