Perhaps Treyarch hasn't giving out any copies to game reviewers and they'll jsut have to wait like everyone else.

I'm guessing one might pop out tomorrow from IGN and the rest from other reviewers the day of release or later.

I searched bit and found that the Official Playstation Magazine apparently gave it a 9.4 and I found that Game Informer gave it a 9 and somebody on GameFAQS was nice enough to type it up here.

regardless it was suppose to been up I would assumed by now...whats the point in releasing the review after the game releases, people are gonna buy it anyway.. If I dont see a review before the game comes out just gonna get it anyway prob..maybe this was activision's doing since they get more money out of that plan anyway.

Because it is Activison and they are a gigantic publicly owned company. The risk/reward doesn't make sense for them. It's nothing new to Activison games, their reviews are rarely published earlier, and it is pretty damn hard for most (non ign/gamespot/gameinformer/etc) websites to even get review copies. I have Jeff Gersteman of Giantbomb on my friends list, and he reviews most of the FPS for them, and has not played one minute of Black Ops yet.

Like reviews with Starcraft 2, either they dont give them any copys to review untill everyone else or they sign something saying they wont put a review out untill the game is out.

Haha nice one mate that's true :D

Gameinformer : http://www.gamingeverything.com/2010/11/game_informers_call_of_duty_black_ops_review

"Treyarch's much hyped huge budget entry in the franchise feels like Modern Warfare 2.5"

"Concept – Remember Modern Warfare? Yeah, like that but in 1968"

"but that's one dance I'm more than happy to repeat."

I think I will stay away from this one

They have just ruined the whole series after Call of Duty 4 , CoD4 is one of the best games I've played online but after that they've ruined it

They're making it worse than Sports game every year a new cod game..

I'm sick of that engine that's being used in CoD games..
