Your wrong. It's usually done with games that have problems. 

I was right but you obviously missed the point with your eagerness to try to prove me wrong (better luck next time).  All three of those games had embargoes that were lifted.

Those of you waiting to find out just how awesome Super Mario Galaxy 2 is gonna be can find out on Monday as the review embargo is lifted at 6am BST. All initial previews have been positive and it's due for release in Europe on June 11th.

The review embargo has officially been lifted for those websites that received early copies of Mass Effect 2 (not GameBanshee), so it comes as no surprise that a couple of critiques are already online.

Uncharted 2 review embargo lifts...

The difference is that those are embargoes that had been lifted before the game was released, the reviewer got the game and as with Uncharted 2 and Mario Galaxy 2, they could have released a review two weeks in advance. The reviewers in the Kinect case don't even get to put out a review until the day of release or after. When that happens it means the game (Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions, Fallout New Vegas, Medal of Honor)  has  problems and the publisher usually doesn't want the bad rep to build before the game is released.
