    I am picking this up on Monday afternoon and am really curious when I can read and watch some reviews.

    I know there is one European review so far but am wondering when the bulk of sites will be posting theirs.

    Anyone know?

    GB is sited to have said that their review will be up by tuesday. But you will already have the game so I would hope for your sake that there are some others rolling in before then.

    I'm guessing tuesday, that's when jeff said the GB review is going up, and its rare for reviewers to specify a date unless that's when the embargo lifts.

    I'm betting everyone that is deciding to actually pick this up will be in for some disappointment.

    Well, I am betting that people who are a fan of all the CoD games and liked the Beta will not be disappointed.

    Embargoes :(

    The one European review was probably a broken embargo review.

    Who needs an embargo!? We all know what WaW is.

    • Add 1 cup of CoD4.
    • Take out 5 cups of fun.
    • Recycle 9 teaspoons of the material.
    • Add a dash of crappy development team, e.g. Treyarch.
    • Throw in a zombie mode and vehicles for desperation.
    • Blend well.
    • Sell piece of trash for $60.
    • Profit from people who overlook what trash the game is.

    Um, Vinchenzo, you must've forgotten one tiny thing:  zombies automatically make games cool and awesome.  Sorry, bro.
