Yep, saw that too. I think they do have an early copy they probably just aren't allowed to say anything due to the embargo. "

There are reviews out already. No embargo. Got my copy of GI today and it was there. There have been reviews (I think on gamesTM magazine and somewhere else) and other stuff.I just think it's more likely that they don't do stuff until right before the game is out, since they generally don't do previews (other than QL road shows, news articles, and trailers). I didn't even know Alan Wake was coming out/out until I saw the QL cause I haven't been following that game. "

 No, there is still obviously an embargo. Magazine reviews are different. The embargo applies more to website reviews. Look at IGN, Gamespot, and GiantBomb. They all have the game and have been playing it. I'm sure they even all have reviews written already. But they haven't published them because they're not allowed to yet. Magazine's are different. R* has to go easier on those embargos because magazines have to have all their articles written by an earlier date in order to get the articles into the publisher who actually prints all the magazines and mails them out. A lot less control is possible with those. And the game comes out this month so if prevented by the embargo the only other option for magazines would be to publish their reviews next month. R* obviously doesn't want that, they want tons of publicity, so they allow magazines to publish their reviews this month, even if it means they come out before the games release. However you do not see a single website with a review do you? That is definitely because of an embargo.I don't even know why we're arguing about this. If you listen to any GiantBomb podcasts you'll hear Brad and the others talk constantly about embargos and not being able to talk about certain games until a certain date. It's not like this is a conspiracy. It's completely known to happen. And the game websites follow along because if they don't, they piss off the publishers and developers and then they no longer get special access to games. That would in turn hurt their websites popularity and therefore their business. It all makes perfect sense when you think about it. Nothing to argue about. Rockstar has definitely put an embargo on website reviews and that's that. "

Jeez louise, reviews are really what matters in the end. They'll review it, and that'll be it.
