Gamespot reviewers, and not finishing games.

I thought it was quite normal that reviewers didn't finished all their games.

Most of the time when they get a game to review they have two days to play it and put up a review (deadline) for games like GEOW, Halo, COD4 it is quite easy to do but for games like GTA IV, Saints Row, Oblivion, JRPG's it is just impossible;..

 

 It pretty much has been that way, since the days of the PS1 and N64. Before that, most games could be beaten in non-ridicoulous amounts of time, so it was likely less of an issue up through the days of the SNES, Genesis, and Neo Geo.

 

We all know this happens a lot, it's just unfortunate. And I can't help but feel that this story is there to try and cushion Gamespot on their downward spiral. (We're all familiar with their trustworthy reviews of late!)
