Magazines don't have the same embargos on them due to release schedule otherwise they'd lose business to further blow up how silly this notion is are you also saying Sony had a deal with Edge over TLOU because that got a 10 in an issue (Issue 255) that released 2 weeks before the game did?

Yes. I think Sony made a deal with EDGE over that. Nothing illegal, but giving them the ok because they gave it a 10. I do think EDGE are truthful in their reviews, but if TLOU got a 7, I dont think they would have gotten the ok from Sony to release it early. It happens alot and I find it unfair to other reviwers.

They don't release their reviews early they release on the magazine's scheduled date this is very common for big outlets that had magazines CVG for one also had this for years before the magazine side of things went bust and how is it unfair to other reviewers that part makes no logical sense because their reviews are going to be out before the game's launch and another review isn't going to have any bearing on them. It doesn't happen a lot you'll need to provide evidence of that happening a lot to make that claim.

The are a number of 10s given out after release as well like Bayonetta 2 and Rockband 3's 10s came after release.
