ssj12 was the VGC reviewer; you could try asking him.

Will do.

@papflesje: I know that is standard practice this day (and I'm not criticising reviewers, rather procedures) but don't you think it woulk make sense to review the copy that is going out to retail rather than a review copy? I think it ends up being false advertising otherwise.

On games with online: MAG scores for example are interesting. I'm sure reviews were based on beta rather than game play given that scores came out before the release of the game - I suppose even this is unfair :(

It's a choice between reviewing a free copy of the game received ~1 week early, and paying £40/$60 for the game on release day.

I think that reviewing websites should hold responsibility for their reviews and try to provide as a realistic a picture as possible. I know that there is a rush to come out early but it only hinders the reputation of the reviewing site in the end.

Send the reviewer the money to buy the game and the means to get it early, and he'll get it.

A company sends out review copies. If the review copies are inferior to the final game, it's their problem.
