It was an embargo on all review scores for Halo 3.  And it's not like Microsoft and EA are the only ones that do it, Nintendo, Sony, and many others do it as well with their videogames.  And it's not just a videogame thing as it's also done with movies, books, and tv shows.

Even if we pretended that it was done with other mediums as much as it is with videogames (you won't find giant movie ads covering Variety.com), does that make it any less pathetic?

I'm sure Sony, Nintendo, and many others have done it in the past. (Though if they're doing it now, they suck at it.) But with Halo, it's become sort of a joke.

There's no need to pretend, it's done in other mediums just as much as in videogames. 

In the past?  Nintendo did it with Metroid Prime 3, that was released when, in August?  It's done by pretty much everyone so why single it out for Halo 3?
