Obviously, this is a movie review, not a gaming one. However, I considered it relavant as a launching point for gaming related discussion:

In gaming, getting "leaks" or "early reviews" out is not only acceptable, it is praised, as if being the first one to tell us how totally awesome the next big blockbuster is justifies the sacrifice in integrity and authority.

By comparison, the first time a well known, 10 year veteran film reviewer posts an early review, he is fired immediately.

 

Just thought the comparison was stark, and further highlights the distinctions in film and game criticism, and why film criticism is taken so much more seriously than gaming criticism is by journalism at large.
