Yeah, this should be called a Preview at best (even though its labeled as one)

Or at least Torchlight 2 Beta Impressions.

I understand what you mean. However the reasoning behind our beta "reviews" are because more and more games want you to pre-order to try it out or test. A lot of times unless you're Guild Wars 2 or something equally huge, people hesitate before doing that.

It's basically known that people like to take review scores as something concrete to go on. So we play the betas to the fullest we can, write about them, and just add a score with good/bad points.

We think it helps people with decisions about buying or pre-ordering. Obviously not something new but we think it helps more then just a preview or impressions.
