Jeff Gerstmann has mentioned mock reviews a couple of times in articles but I specifically remember him talking about it here on the Bombcast, or am I getting this wrong?
In case you don't know, mock reviews are basically internalreviews done by journalists/critics for the publisher so they get an estimated metacritic score and whether that game will be worth funding or something. You get paid a lot so some critics do it, and even Jeff was tempted to finish one before Giant Bomb became a thing. Here's an article where Jeff talks about it.
