I'm sure we've seen the stuff on the EGM review of Lair. Somebody from a 1up club directed me to a gametrailers.com forum thread that looks like it has some review scores from a couple of other reviewers as well as the head of Factor 5 chiming in on the reviews.

"I'm aware of the reviews, of course. Some are very positive, some are not. The common complaint in those bad reviews seem to be the controls - putting the dragon streering on the motion-sensitive SIXAXIS controller doesn't sit well with some of the experienced gamers. First of all: try it out yourself, give it a chance!
And if you want my side of the story, I will share a simple anecdote: Victoria's family, lead by my 83-year old grandfather in law, was able to pick up Lair in less than 5 inutes, to fly around with the dragon and to play the first mission of the game.That experience right there beats anything that the reviewers can say. Because let's face it: the hardcore crowd is an important part of the market, and I sincerely hope that everybody who reads my page and/or hangs out on NeoGAF, IGN, 1UP on a daily basis will buy Lair and enjoy it. Your guys' opinions are important, and they matter."
Take that as damage control or whatever you will, but the thread also has some scores as well.
Apparently these are the current reviews on Lair so far,
" LAIR has got multiple reviews till date
EGM ---5.5 (6 ,5.5 ,5.0)
PLAY UK --9.0
GAMEZONE --9.0
EDGE ---9.0 (LEAKED . the papaerback magazine would be out in a few days)
GAMEPRO --7.5 (praised everything except the controls)"
Now, I can't confirm all of these scores on my own here, but perhaps if others want to look around and check different sources out for themselves.
The thread says that EGM will discuss their rating with Julian Eggebrecht himself in their EGM podcast on August 13th?
What do you think?
