Well certainly Naughty Dog have finished the game with a month to spare, and they seem to be nicer on the embargos... I guess that is it, and I am sure that they do have some deal with IGN, who always seem to get early reviews, but I am not suggesting that it is simply the score that matters, more likely some advertising thing, and frankly, everyone has been talking about Uncharted 2 recently, so it is obviously working....
I what you want is for people to be talking about your games for as long as possible, and if early reviews achieves that, then it also allows me to play a little bit ahead of the normal review window of a week before release
