So does this mean were going to get review copies on a more consistent basis now?

Also are we going to get an actual review team similar to what other sites have like IGN? Because right now it seems like the reviews come out randomly and that all the reviewers are sort of doing their own thing with no talking or sharing of ideas between people.

We've been getting review copies for over a year now.  We get around 15 copies on a month with a healthy number of releases.  I know people who work for every publisher and they all give us video games. There isn't a single one who never gives us games. It's usually a matter of allocation (whether they have enough copies to hand out to all the big sites).

And we do have a dedicated review team. There are a few things that will help us release reviews closer to release date. This is one step closer.

OK for some reason I thought that the larger publishers weren't giving us review copies of games as frequently as the smaller publishers. So I'm assuming were going to be getting review copies of the big 2010 games like GoW3, Splinter Cell, GT5, Fable 3 and Halo Reach ahead of time?

Its also good to hear that were going to be getting reviews released closer to release date. Are there any incentives for reviewers currently besides helping the community? Are we ever going to get to a stage were reviewers are paid?

@Naznatips

I know we have a review team. What I meant to ask is if we would ever have second opinions on game reviews or round-table discussions for big games discussing multiple reviewers opinions of a game like IGN currently does. Also are the review teams split up into consoles teams or is it simply based on what console each reviewer has?

Wow. That is epic. GTA needs to be pushed farther down!

We've affected the top three


Awesome! I really like the scores VGChartz gives.

Also, Nintendo Power gave OOT a 9.5! Holy crapcakes!



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.
