I’m not sure one outlet provides much insight as to where the game will land. For instance, I’m pretty sure games like Sonic ‘06 even received in the 80s by an outlet or two. (Or rather, pick any game that was either super acclaimed or very poorly recieved, I’m sure you can find a low or high score (resp.) for each.) You run the risk of placing too much or too little faith in a single review. It’s gamble, not much of an unfair advantage.
I’d say up until the embargo is lifted. Famitsu, for instance, releases reviews earlier than all other publications, yet we are still able to adjust scores even after the fact.
