The biggest benefit is they stop sites rushing through games the moment they get them so they can get their review up first. This way everyone has time to play through it properly, and everyone's review gooes up simultaneously (which can also make for a good marketing push). How they decide when an embargo ends is a completely different story though. Often seems completely random, but there are occasions where it's abused (such as ACU).
