If it were any other game, it would be reviewed by about May 10th, but I thinkt hey'll have it within a few days after release.hillelslovak
You can actually judge by what score they will give games by if the reviews are late or not... If it's late, that means GS is giving it a low score. Somewhere I read that it's the agreement GS has with game studios, so that game will still be sold before the bad review effect hits...

Yeah, sometime's there's an agreement to put up the review after a certain date.
The reason the GS review is taking so long is because ign paid to have there embargo lifted early so that they could get extra hits on there site. For instance kotaku's embargo lifts at 10:00 AM sharp. So I'm guessing that's when all of the other sites will post there reviews as well. So we could see the GS review by midday.

Thats true, I always see that. A quick example, Uncharted took ages to get reviewed.
Monday, very likely. Gamespot doesn't pay for exclusive reviews, so they have to wait in line for the sites who did pony up to get done first. I expect a 9.5. though.
[QUOTE="sean_c223"]i think theyll follow suit and give it a 10dangerd0g24
i doubt it. i bet you it will be 9.5.
of course you do because you already said it, why are you saying that when you kind of asked what you thought anyways. but with the history of GS giving high scores to GTA i think they will give it a 10 this time.
and to Sunni_Phono they only give out scores now with .5 increments so either a 9.5 or a 10
I'm hoping Aaron Thomas won't review the game :?aaron6581230
I have to agree (AT shouldn't be allowed to review anything but sports), though who is left anyway? Kevin VanOrd is the only one I can think of whose name I even know, and I can't say I agree with all of his reviews (Assassin's Creed has been gathering dust since I finished it, certainly isn't a 9.0 game). Gamespot reviews are utterly meaningless now. They aren't coming from Greg, Jeff or Rich anymore, so what does it matter? It's not like just being a staff member at Gamespot makes your opinion a good opinion. Greg/Jeff/Rich were just awesome reviewers. "Reviewed by Matt Genericman" just doesn't carry the same weight as Jeff Gerstmann or Greg Kasavin.
No matter when it comes out. It'll be sure to be way different than other reviews. I'd say 9 for 360 and 9.5 for PS3. That is if we're lucky. Given thier history of 360 version is better than PS3 reviews, I'd say the other way around. Either way, It won't be a 10.
