When Are We Going To Start Seeing Game Reviews?
« on: November 10, 2005, 05:33:00 PM »

Kameo is out, and some people already have 360s, or in one thread someone said a store manager put the retail Kameo disc in the kiosk... so... just surprised there isn't a review out yet, or at least a preview of the retail build...

Is there a restriction by MS when reviews can come out?

no games are "out", and maybe no reviewers have been gived a copy to review, or maybe it just sucks so much that MS have stopped people reviewing it

appologies, it seems u can buy kameo in the shops in america. but since the average pud, or a games reviewer cant buy a 360 to review it with, my point is still pretty valid

most the "reviewers" are gewtting there kits today and soon as this next week. As for the reviews well it takes time to play through what games they have on hand now and very few titles probably. And also their are usually aggreements by the most major players "ign, gamespot, etc." as to when and wherethe reviews are to be released. Not what their reviews include but when hey may present their review as everyone knows once a eview is offered out many flock to read it so publicity comes into play and the advertisers on those said sitesstart paying the royalties for each hit. Thus exclusivity rights apply. I imagine many of htese reviews are dying to spill their guts but contracts wont allow them, this is why sometimes what you read in forums is true, when some say "ohh your full of shit how do you know" that person saying this or this may actually be somone of importance that indeed works for a "game site" and just wants to let something out without getting in trouble. Theres lots of of rules to everything in the game world..money money money....
