Hey Destructoid Wanna Bet?

Recently our beloved friends over at Destructoid posted an article on how the upcoming Civil War FPS is going to flop. Well I feel like I must defend the honor of those brave men and women who gave their time to create the game. So I put forward a bet that the game will receive an average score of 7.5 or higher. Up for grabs in this bet will be a brand spanking new copy of any next gen game Destructoid wants. Will you accept the bet Destructoid? Just consider it a bet between friends and our readers of course.

    Go Aeropause, I can't stand Destructoid. I mean their page takes like 30 seconds to load, and it looks like a robot vomited! altyhough Kotaku is the worst looking blog!
  • It has to be an average based on metacritic.com score, otherwise it's easy to pick the one's you (or they) like.
  • Yeah, that's what I assumed we'd be doing.
  • We will take reviews from the following sites and then average them out. If the games rates 7.5 or higher we win, if lower we lose. Is that agreeable D'toid?

    GameSpot
    IGN
    Game Informer
    Electronic Gaming Monthly
    1UP
  • Never having heard this game before, judging from the image Destructoid has up in the article, it doesn't look too bad. Sounds like a good little bet and looking forward to see the conclusion of it (when is Civil War coming out?)

    Anyways, the average score for the game will determine who wins and who loses but how exactly will you calculate the average score? A gathering of review scores from corporation websites? Reader average scores?

    Wow Nerds fighting, sweet!

    The astronauts will leak trillions of gallons of deadly Co2 into the atmosphere creating a hole that will let in cosmic radiation that will fry your circuits.
  • WE SHALL USE OUR SUPERIOR ROBOT TECHNOLOGY TO RAISE AN ARMY OF UNDEAD CIVIL WAR SOLDIERS.
  • Just you wait...I'll bribe every review site on the web if I have to.
  • You bitches is going down!
  • Shane
    Little do they know, we paid IGN and Gamespot big bucks to give it an 8...muuhahaha..oops did I just say that?
  • lol awesome, attack their space station for massive damage! I give it a predictive 6.9
  • Dan The Man
    Oh yeah baby stick it to those Retoids!!!!!! God I love a friendly blog bash.
  • hahahaah awesome. I'm thinking 5.0/7.5/6.5 ish ratings so 7.0 average at best - can't wait to see the outcome!
  • Ha ha! Awesome. I hope you're right and it does end up being a good game, but I keep getting flashes of that horrible "Gods and Generals" video game. That thing was a real stinker.
