@turbomonkey138: Yep. But we have to understand that it is a small team and there is only so much time to review important releases like Ridge Racers 3D or Pilotwings Resort. This leaves more obscure titles like DA2/RDR without a review :( But that's a harsh reality.
@gormanator: Ditto. I miss Dave's review of non-Eastern bloc games. I heart DA2 and I'm hoping for a full review as well, but I'm not getting those hopes too high.
Listen up, physicists! You need to start bending the space-time continuum so that these 4 guys can review all my games in a timely fashion. This whole "there's only so many hours in a day" bullshit needs to stop. (Oh, and while you're at it, two words: portal gun. It'd be like a two-for-one special.)

The thing is, with the timing of the release of DA2, they would have been unable to get a review up for a long while after the release, at which point the review isn't really relevant, because everyone already knows everything about the game from other sources. The Ridge Racer and Pilotwings reviews were both timely, and thus are relevant. I'm also pretty sure it takes much less time to play and review Ridge Racer and Pilotwings than it does DA2.
@Tennmuerti: Oh well, you can only guess why they don't review some of the bigger titles. I agree that RDR should have been reviewed even weeks after release, but DA2 is no Origins and most people already know that. Just cut them some slack.. that's also kind of a cool thing, don't you think? They can review whatever they want and don't need to review every game like other sites only to get some money out of it.
Dragon Age 2 wasn't hand-delivered to their door by a chain gang of pretty ladies? Also you can review like 5 games nobody gives a shit about in the time it takes to review DA2.
On the other hand, why should they show any more respect for the game than EA showed to Giant Bomb, or in fact to their own game?
A Giant Bomb review of Dragon Age 2 would be one of the following: Dave reflecting on how hollow the experience is, a positive review from an always positive Vinny, or a middling review from a somewhat detached Brad, Ryan, or Jeff.
