why is Gamespot so slow with reviews.

they are almost always last amongst the major review sites. Please don't give me the excuse that their reviews are just that much more in detail than the others. That's simply not true as Gamespots reviews usually consist of no more than two pages. Where is the darn MW2 review!?

Well I think it is pretty simple. They have to play the game thoroughly on Multiplayer and the campaign. Now I'm notsure if they do it on all difficulties, but you have to take the time into account on all of those things I just mentioned. On top of that it also depends on when Gamespot receives the game. There is a lot of things that come into account.

edit: Also what the guy above me stated.

There are no good reasons. Gamespot is just becoming more and more irrelevant. I'm here for the forums :)

They want to have the last word.

Their mottos for reviews is accurate, not timely. Who cares, to be honest, your going to get MW2 no matter what. Can you not infer it will be like MW1? I mean this is a pretty consistent developer here, it would be shocking if they put out a broken product.

Lack of reviewers. Kevin V in the past month has reviewed about 10+ games. (sheer guess on the number) aaronmullan

They're quite slow with reviews but I thought they'd get the MW2 review out on time.

I wonder how long it'll take for the NSMBWii Review.

EDIT: Im gonna take a guess and say the review is "late" because theyre testing the online with the inflow of people that bought the game and are playing it online today.

I figured they wanted to test the online when it would be at its "Weakest" in terms of connection and stuff. Today and tomorrow I'd say are going to be amongst the two biggest server days for Infinity Wardrahul_batta

They want to have the last word.

If you notice, they never seem to be late with reviews on movie based games.

For example, there was no delay for Astroboy, and yet I can't imagine anyone here pining for it...

And the thing is, we all know movie games are usually garbage.

Yeah! who cares about accuracy and quality in a review? What's the point on delaying a review a little to test if a game's biggest selling-point actually works when you can get an early review that lacks vital information instead. That's just lame stuff.

Far as i remember, Gamespot usually only reviews the retail versions, they don't get that many review copies sent their way. But hey, at least their credibillity isn't on sale to the highest bidder as of IGN's
