Deus Ex: Human Revolution review. When will it arrive? :)
Reply by Chief Editor:
It will not, at all, actually. Sorry. Square Enix has made unreasonable demands for a possible Review session which meant that we declined and simply not going to review Human Revolution. Sucks, of course, but we can not accept that kind of requirement that Square made . It would damage our credibility and is nothing we will ever agree to.

What were the requirements that Square put on you?
Reply by Chief Editor:
We have decided to not share that. Square put the same demands on all gaming magazines. Some accepted the requirements, others did not. We were one of the papers that said no right away. Simple as that.

It has been said by a few magazines like CVG that Square Enix wants the reviewers to ATLEAST give it a 90/100. Can't bother to find the sources for that, just google "Square Enix 90 Deus Ex Requirements/Demands" <- Or something like that xD.
PEACE.
EDIT: Don't know if anyone already wrote this, I might just be WAY late XD! Sorry in that case!
