"One thing I don't get"

Customer reviews of games that aren't out yet.
How?
They are opinions and stuff from other sites/magazines, not reviews.

this isn't a complaint at all, just wondering what the point is of writing a "review" of a game that ain't out yet?

Yeah, hadnt thought of that.

If someone has imported the game then they may review it on here and mention its been imported... if nothing it lets other potential buyers see what kind of game it is from another gamers point of view!

Not necessarily though, they may have played it once and thought it was cool at a mate's house or something.

I wasn't raising this question because I thought "Hang on, people are winning and that's not fair"

I just wondered why they did it is all.

Yep that's totally suspicious. I dont think SR should allow it!

seeya

What I think is suspicious is when someone reviews a game on SR and they win a game for it, they pick the game they reviewed.

I guess.
I was just reading some reviews and thought "Hang on, this isn't out yet"

A demo I can understand.

But to me, a review is a personal opinion on whether something is a good item based on things like gameplay, graphics, appeal etc.

Oh well, just wondered was all.

just remember we get our games sometimes months after the US and JAP releases. maybe they review imports?

Some people review the demo. I think.

Some people want a game really bad

But, you can always preview a game, like Ant did for MGS2 and won for!
