I hadn't really thought about it, but yeah, that is odd. I have no explanation.

Cuz the guy who would review it (Dave) is busy keeping the site working. The other guys don't play Total War.

Well there is mike, but he is also working on the site =/
 
Same goes for Chaos rising =(

I can't remember his name, but there is that pretty cool guy that likes RTS's and his quick looks are great. He did the King Arthur one and the Napoleon one, and the SupCom2 one, if I remember correctly.

If I could only have one, I'd take a Quick Look over a review any day.

If I'm not mistaken (haven't played it yet) it's not that different from Empire: Total War. So maybe they feel that it wouldn't be worth writing a review for, not the biggest team so it makes sense really. Not sure a review is really needed to be honest. 

Ping5000 wrote a very good user review.
 
I'd say 4 stars as well, but you should consider it an expansion to Empire rather than a whole new iteration (even though it is standalone).  It feels like a more solid version of Empire, but with a handful of shorter, more focused campaigns rather than one Grand Campaign (think Kingdoms).
 
If Dave were to review it, he would give it 4 stars.  I can tell.
