Could someone explain to me the concept of "exclusive reviews"? They just seemed to pop up out of no where all of a sudden.

Let's see if you work for IGN

you secure exclusive rights to review a game before anybody else get... in term, the developers probably demands a few things... likely , for example "the game should not get a score lower than 6"

So you go back, you play the game.... and if you think the game is a 5.... You go back and say "yeah, we give the game more than that"...

or, if you think it's good, then you say "okay, we have a deal"

you publish your review 2 weeks before anybody else does... it gains you hits on your website.

That's all.
