And RANTalso, i don't care how "okay" or "good" Fling Smash is. (it will not be more than mediocre i bet), Its not even Nintendo developed and its their pack in game with the new Motion Plus controller, that makes me sick! You get that? They didn't even develop it! THEY SUCK! They are publishing it only, and its their first motion plus game even published. Why are more people not complaining about Nintendo's complete lack of support for their gimmicks? It makes me sick that they can't even support their own crap! Sick that people still feel Nintendo is doing a good job with their console - besides the bundled in mediocre Wii sports resort game, this is the first motion plus game they've even put out. And again that means PUBLISHED. They haven't developed one game yet over a year into the add-ons lifespan. Zelda will be the first Nintendo developed motion plus game. They suck at customer appreciation in my book.  i spent good money on 2 motion plus units just to have them make zero games for it. That's crap! And this controller they want us to buy now, with NO SUPPORT from them, is how the system should have worked from day one. Give it to us free if we trade in the crappy motion plus add ons, buy them back from us. Fling Smash does not make up for it.... Makes me sick ACHOOO!

Not much point asking for a review to a game that has been out for over a month? The staff simply don't have the time to review every single game that's released, was the same thing with Red Dead Redemption for example.

Because Activision probably had them sign paperwork stating they wouldn't put up a review before the street date. And if they hadn't signed it Jeff couldn't have attended that review event 2 weeks ago and would have had to review a store-bought copy because they didn't send out advance copies to reviewers (actually I'm totally guessing on that second part).

@squidracerX:

Not sure where you've been, but I realized that Nintendo didn't give a flying crap about me or anyone who can happily call themselves a gamer since a week after the Wii was released. They released a damn cheap system that could barely output video signal into the same TV connected to my Xbox 360, and the whole thing rode its way to the bank on a controller based on really bad movement controls. Since I sold my launch day Wii 5 months after launch, I've given up on caring what they do. They sell pieces of hardware that make the Wii Controller work the way it should at launch, sell a million copies of that, then they make a Wii Controller with it built in, and they'll sell another million copies. This is because their fanbase either isn't going to know or going to care that there is literally no games to support the hardware they're buying, most likely because most of Nintendo's customers barely play anything past Wii Sports.

Now don't get me wrong, folks. I love a good Mario or Zelda game. I haven't played Galaxy, but it looks cool as hell. Twilight Princess was also a really good game besides the controls. But this system isn't for us, Nintendo doesn't care about making sense to us anymore. They're going to release crap that barely costs them any money, and it will sell, sell, sell. So our opinions on their console and business practices becomes null and void.

I don't know man, I feel like you're forgetting what happened this year. 
A new Civ was released, a new Star Craft, a new Fallout, a new Mass Effect, a new Halo, and now a new CoD. Then there is Super Mario Galaxy 2, Fable III, Rock Band 3, Super Street Fighter 4, God of War III, Final Fantasy XIII... And there's been a slew of excellent original titles like Bayonetta, Alan Wake (Alan fucking Wake; I wasn't even sure if that was ever going to be an actual game), Vanquish, Heavy Rain, Blur, Split/Second, Darksiders, et cetera. 
I'm probably forgetting a lot of games (I'm not even mentioning any of the awesome downloadable games we've seen this year) and, of course, you might not like them all, but I'd say this year has been outstanding for games!
