 So Eidos are blocking reviews for tombraider under 8/10

Does this indicate a bad game. I find this really bad and some reports of possible legal action is rather  embarrassing for Eidos.On a seperate notice why is copy and paste banned on gamespot.

Classy, Eidos, real classy. First Kane and Lynch, now this. I was thinking about picking up this game as I liked the demo, now I'm not. Eidos needs to learn to take the bad reviews with the good ones. If they don't like the bad reviews, make a better game.

They weren't blocking, they simply asked firms to hold the poorer reviews for a few days. That article suggests they are sitting on that cusp anyway, so I doubt it will make too much of a difference. They don't actually have the power to stop reviews from coming out. They are asking for a favor.

Too bad they have to resort to these kinds of tactics. The game isn't really all that bad, one of the best in the series actually, it's just the camera that's pretty crappy.

Nothing wrong with a 7/10 really. I liked the demo.
