Why hasn't there been any reviews for this yet? It comes out in under 20 hours, is the embargo really this close to the release? I'm not sure how well this bodes for the game!
Syndicate
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Feb 21, 2012
Syndicate is a reinvention of the 1993 game by Bullfrog. Developed at Starbreeze Studios, the game puts players in the shoes of Miles Kilo, one of the cybernetically-enhanced Agents who wages war against enemy mega-corporations on behalf of EuroCorp, his sponsor syndicate.
Why has there not been any reviews for this yet?

There are already plenty of unofficial reviews from ppl who got the game early and, likely as not, a lot of pirates.. Common themes seem to be 6-7 hour sp campaign, average to above average shooter, style more in common with deus ex than the old syndicate games.
Aha, thanks, I hadn't seen any discussion regarding it, was wondering whether it was just being forgotten or over embargoed.

@FauxNinja: EA has a review embargo on all sites from running reviews until day after release.
Cool, cheers for the info :)

Considering this game is made by the guys who did Riddick and the Darkness it should turn out pretty good.
Pretty much what puts me at ease

Or more accurately it should be an interesting experiment that doesn't quit work the way it should.

Yeah that's kinda what I mean by only pretty good, I don't expect it to blow my mind or anything as neither Riddick or Darkness did but it should at least be fun and well made.
To those who are like "OMG NO EARLY REVIEW GAEM MUST BE BAD"
nah son, bascially if you know your game is not "skyrim level" universal acclaim, and may have asshats pick it apart for channel/page views, you put an embargo up on the review.
it looks to be a very solid fps, with cool design and characters. nothing ground breaking, but certainly worth 60 bucks if thats what your into

Or $40 if you preorder games from Amazon regularly. They had a $20 promotion going on Syndicate since like December.

Lol, did you just review a game without playing it?

A ton of those head guys left and started a new studio with Bethesda. They are working on something using the new id tech.
Here is a good article explaining the staffing changes at Starbreeze.

We didn't know how to break it to you, but the game is cancelled. Weird since it's about to come out, but Starbreeze was like, "Nope!"
Everyone can go home now.
I know, Syndicate being cancelled and Brad leaving on the same day? This cannot get any worse.
Good news, though. Starbreeze is going to make a sequel to The Darkness. They are fully aware there's already a sequel, but they're confident theirs will be the "true Darkness II".
