Metacritic put up the review of GOW3 from POM UK weeks ago and it is still the only review up.  There isn't even one from POM US.  So what gives?  It's kind of worrying me that maybe the reviews aren't as great as expected and they're holding onto them til the last minute.  GOW releases in a couple of weeks so there should be several up by now at least. 

It shouldnt be where are the gow3 reviews, hell bfbc2 barely has any and its out today, which is beyond weird. Publications and sites must be slammed with games they need to review, we probably wont start seeing anymore gow 3 reviews until its just about released.

This is a pretty huge month. FFXIII, Gow3, BFBC2, Heavy Rain, and pokemon gold and silver. They are fucking swaaaaamped.

Yeah but for playstation magazines at least, this is one of the biggest games of the year if not the biggest. Doesn't make any sense.

why ?

just one day ago, they said (destructoid ?) that we will have review in 1 week
I mean, the game is coming in the middle of march right ? it is not that late for review, REALLY.

destructoid "preview sample" :

Basically, the first 30 minutes I played were perfect. Absolutely perfect. The graphics were jaw-dropping; the gameplay was solid and already addictive; and there were more “holy sh*t!” moments in the opening sequence than some games have in their entireties.

Obviously I recommend God of War III to anyone who owns a PlayStation 3. If you own a PS3, there is no excuse to not pick this up when it is released on March 16th. Heck, even if you don’t own a PS3, get the game anyway! I bet even holding the box would be a cool experience.

and bad review ? nah, IMO, it is +90% guaranted at this point ...

and since, I do believe Sony will market this game with the money they are not investing in FFXIII marketing/bundle, I m expecting something pretty big for the sales.

I know sony usually doesnt do this but there could also be an embargo in place, with the exception of the exclusive first interview with opm

review embargo ends on monday (next week)

I do believe they have sent the copy to american reviewer VERY lately

I m pretty sure that my best french videogames website dont have their one ...

Ah so. I didn't know there was an embargo. That makes sense then.

No need to review a game that is already widely accepted as a perfect 10
