Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo: Reach Reviews Embargo

When is the offical date/time for the review embargo to be lifted? VG27 claims it is Sunday, but Neogaf claims September 11th, tomorrow. So are the reviews going up tonight at midnight or tomorrow at midnight? Anyone have an official link to details?



Around the Network

After further research it seems it is going to be Saturday night, Sunday morning for some. There really isn't an exact time. IGN says 9 PM for their review and Eurogamer claims Sunday morning for theirs. I guess expect reviews coming in tomorrow night, Sunday morning then.



I asked this question here about a week ago....didn't get any definitive answers but the general consensus seems to think the embargo lifts on September 11th. 



Wow even the game reviews are getting announcments of announcements ? o_O;

Oooh I hope my issue of Gameinformer arrives soon!

Hmmmm but a 95 seems pretty low...does Gameinformer give out 10's very ofter?

Wow I just looked and they rated Halo 3 better.....thats so stupid that they think Halo 3 is better then Halo Reach.  I guess it looks like Halo Reach will score lower on metacritic and gamerankings then Halo 3 did (so probably a 91-94)

I don't know, but based on scores they gave other recent shooters 95 ranks better then the 94 the gave MW2 and just under the 96 they gave Uncharted 2.

Please tell me you aren't complaining about a 9.5/10 score.
