That's the producer side of things, and I agree that's also heavily manipulated. Right now I'm discussing the consumer side, though. In film criticism, any attempts like these are viewed as hackery: Roger Friedman's name is now anathema in the industry, more or less. By comparison, we encourage game critics to engage in this sort of behavior. Give us the review a month before the game comes out: fight over exclusive reviews; feed us a constant stream of rumors and leaks that may or may not be authorized and may or may not have a reliable source.

True... but i mean it's slightly different isn't it? The Early reviews are approved of rather then stolen...
because they're promised good reviews.
It's bothersome that people don't call out these people but at the same time... if some movie guy got to see a movie early adn wrote a review on it authorized i think people would be happy.
