It's still got FEDOR!
Now we just need Aoki! Or Gomi!
I dunno about new genre, but if there's a real pop music video for it, it must be the most awesome thing ever.

WAIT WHAT!?
The big difference is Gamespot and IGN know better than to break embargoes.
If they do it's with a company's expressed permission. For instance, IGN had an exclusive deal with EA to publish a review early for NFS: Shift. Additionally, Eidos had that deal with magazine publishers that they could print reviews for Batman given certain prerequisites.
It's silly to think this rule is exclusive to Microsoft.
I guarantee you if you try pulling this kind of shenanigans with Nintendo or Sony too they'll blacklist.
Rules are clear: eff with them and you're not allowed to play.
WTF. Are you guys serious?
Clearly fake.
You know that saying "ignorance of the law is no excuse?"
Just because you aren't aware that rules don't exist doesn't mean you're allowed to break them. It's common sense that a HUGE release like Halo 3: ODST would be embargoed --you should have contacted a Microsoft rep if there was any doubt.
I sympathize with your position, though, and granted it's a very firm stance for Microsoft to take. Best thing you can do now is raise your traffic to the point wh...
You know how many professional game sites justify their reviews?
That's right: none of them.
They post their review, and that's that. They expect people to call them idiots, morons, fanboys, etc. etc. etc. but that's what their job is.
1) It's a head start.
2) It's a launch
3.) Once you get past the queue, the game works fine.
Ha. Pathetic.
From their info:
"College News is one of the largest college based periodicals in the United States. It's distributed to over 120 NCAA Division 1 universities in America and has an estimated readership calculated by the Magazine Publisher's of America of over 1 million."
lulz indeed
College News is one of the largest college based periodicals in the United States. It's distributed to over 120 NCAA Division 1 schools in America.
If you go to a major state school, check out your school's administration office. There's a good chance you'll find a copy of the magazine in the waiting room.
ALL OFFICIAL REVIEWS ARE EMBARGOED UNTIL 9 PM PDT
If anyone posts it before, it's either a fake review, they got a copy from Newegg and are willing to piss off Microsoft, or they're willing to burn bridges with their PR contact with Microsoft by posting it early for a few extra hits.
Not saying the opinions are wrong, but the review reads like it was written around copied and pasted facts off of Wikipedia and then rewritten with healthy doses of bias.
.
Sounds like another generic, half-assed, fake review posted to troll and get hits.
IMO, the only place to get an honest review is from the people who actually PAY to play games.
Everyone else -yeah. PR to please, advertisers, etc. etc. It all sways decisions.
Do you really think a company is going to keep sending a publisher games if they keep giving them crap scores?
All reviews are embargoed until Saturday.
Dude's suicide is also pretty lulz worthy
