ahhhhhhhhh, so that's why there have been hardly any reviews so far. I hadn't heard about the embargo.

 

What do they mean when they say 'online embargo', I can't wait a day and a half to read reviews for this.

why'd the review get taken down???



Torillian on 20 October 2008

Weird that they would forget a thing like that. I mean c'mon, starcraft remembers and he is just a fan.

Any ideas when tommorrow (or today for you crazy people that don't live where I do) we will see the reviews being put up?

So fable 2 is the first 360 super exclusive which live up its hype and seems to be an AAA title. Gears 2 can follow???

 

Gears 1 and Halo 3 also lived up to that hype, and to an extent so did Mass Effect. I think all of those games were 360 exclusive for a time.

It means the day that they are allowed to review the game, set by the publisher I believe. It only applies before a game is released.

The embargo is monday morning. It's up right now I believe, but it might be 12AM pacific time, in which case it is up at 2AM central. The IGN review will be up at 8am central today.

Still not up yet.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

That's annoying, however, if it gets 9.5 the contents of the review is not exactly going to be negative
