Basically I don't agree with the whole policy of review embargos. Be it films, games, or whatever. It simply defeats the whole purpose of reviews and giving the consumer visibility to information on what they are considering purchasing.
But hey, joe public has basically accepted it's okay for companies to have a say in when their offering gets reviewed and decide initial purchasers should buy 'blind' so I guess this will just be yet another instance furthering the practice.
BTW I'm pretty sure Kinect works, and this seems more about avoiding low scores for launch titles in the vein of Wii titles and the Move launch titles, which I doubly think is out of line. The whole point of the system is reviews that exist ahead of the release - it's a bit pointless otherwise.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
