Games not out for a month. how do sony games get these early reviews? Killzone 2 had reviews a month in advance.

Halo ODST is out in 5 ays and we are still waiting for a review...

This game gets a 9.7 on metacritic. Count it as my prediction.

I'd say a more likely score would be 9.0-9.3 crashdown77.

One can always dream though.

PS Did you know you can't post more than once every 30 seconds? Just found that out, that tells me two things. One: I post too much, and two: I need to get to work.

Edit: Double post! Sorry!

Maybe they are reviewing a build based off the betas?? Either way, I doubt the game deserves a 10/10, but to each their own.

Honestly, I scanned over the review and it sounds like a PS3 fanboy review. For example, "PS3 officially has its a killer-app and a million tears are shed by 360 fanboys. "

EDIT: thats what happens when you decide to actually follow the link. You don't get done reading in time for your original post to be pointing at the right person

Because the rumours are ODST extension pack is very disapointing. I dont think alot of gaming sites would dare defy Microsoft though so I dont know why they're wary.

Wow ! Surprising, considering gamesradar is among the worst MS fanboy websites, along with Eurogamer and Edge...

I guess it must be really good.

- preview built can be sent to reviewer, it is not the finished game but it is close so some site use them to make their review

- there is an embargo on Halo ODST review

MS used their money (guess) to not allow people to release their review too early.
One would say it is because the game sucks, or it is not worth the money (too short) but I will not allow my self to say it (it is perhaps good after all ...)

also, u dont want review to break the insane amont of preorder in the USA alone ?

(I know, even if the review are bad, those guys will get the game anyway ...)

I guess since the PS3 is not cracked yet, Sony is not scared to give out early copies?
