This statement is very misleading.

Look, you don't have to have the reviews posted a week before. If you have the reviews posted 2-3 days before, you generate a lot of hype. You are acting like reviews must be posted rediculously long times before the release date.

There is no excusing release date embargos. All it shows is the publisher's fear of the reviews negatively impacting game sales.

Right. I forgot how poorly Metal Gear Solid IV scored. Oh wait no, it got a 94 on Metacritic. Yeah I'm sure Konami was terrified of the reviews for the game. Why else would they not lift the embargo until the day of release? There can't be any other reason right? 

Oh yeah, because one game completely overshadows the majority that turn out to be mediocre when given embargos. Look at Destiny, Batman Arkham Origins, Ryse: Son of Rome, Sims 4, etc.

There's hundreds of examples out there. But you can believe what you want to believe. It really doesn't matter. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
