TC, now I understand what you're saying... and I think that anyone who just looks at the score and leaves is being ridiculous anyways. if OXM's online scores are really bothering you this much then I'm worried for you, best of luck.
They are begining to make me angry. My complaint? Putting out game reviews for titles that won't come out for another week or two. Who are they to do that (don't say Microsoft... I already know that)...
I don't care if they get the game early, I hate looking at a score and not being able to see why... it's like they're teasing me. Rubbing the games in my face because they got to play them first.
This shouldn't be allowed, all critics should be able to review the game early if they so choose, but they shouldn't be able to release the review unto the public until the game comes out on that specific day!
I know I am getting pissed, anyone else feel the same?

Do you understand the point of reviews? Reviews are intended to help people to decide if they should or shouldn't buy a game. If you've already bought the game why would you need to read the review?
[QUOTE="ISuperGamerI"]I should also mention that you are lucky that OXM is nice enough to put their reviews online for free, when they have the ability and right to charge for that as well, similar to their magazine. Stop bashing something so simple and get used to reality. They are doing you a favour and trying to help you - it's a privilege, not a right.x-2tha-z
Really, I wish more reviews would come out ahead of time when a new game is released. If they wait to come out until the date of release, it's often too late for me to make a decision based on them if I have a pre-order in place or something. Seems a bit silly to get worked up about a reviewer having a copy before you do.
TheDanwich- I stopped listening to your defense completely (not that I was paying that much before) when you said OXM reviewed Little Big Planet (LBP is for the PS3). OXM is for Xbox while PSM is for Playstation. The day they swap jobs and review cross-platform games, I will put down my controller. I agree with everyone else. Either unplug your computer and just wait in your room until the game comes out, then turn it back on when the games finally comes out. Or just look for the magazine a week before the game comes out. There you just did yourself, and the world a favor. Now, if you find something realistic to argue about, we will be here, no bashing. But until then, just hold in your complaints.
