I agree it's a worrisome development. Often it means there's something worth obscuring from consumers until all those pre-orders have been locked in.
Who knows what's delaying the NMS reviews, however. Could be that critics want to take enough time to do the game justice, or that publications received copies late, or that there's a strict embargo. Who knows.
In any case, as consumers, we should demand reviews early and often so we can make more informed decisions.
