Why hasn't gamespot reviewed Heroes 6 ?

The game has been out for 2 weeks now.

I agree. Although Gamespot can't possibly review every game that comes out, it should review at minimum, every major release. I would consider Might&Magic: Heroes VI to be a major release, considering it comes from a major publisher (Ubisoft) and it has a storied history (plus it looks like Gamespot has reviewed every other Heroes release?).

I also find it weird that they haven't reviewed it yet. GS truly lacks credibility in the PC department...

Unless it's in the league of The Witcher they won't bother making a review for a PC only game probably ... since most of them are console gamers ... There are here and there some indie games with some written review but that's that ...

And if there is a review it would end up with 6,5-7 or something ...

There is a list around here of un-reviewed games. It's amazing they will review a street sweeping sim, but don't review some big name titles...?

Some would say GS hasn't reviewed it yet because they haven't been paid to review it yet. :P

that made me lol : )

• It's a PC game.
• It's a strategy game.

Both of those areasare neglected by Gamespot. Yes, the big PC games (including strategy) do get reviewed, but the ones without a lot of hype don't. Or they might get reviewed but much delayed. I just saw the other day they reviewed World of Tanks, a team-based strategy MMO. That game has been out since April 2011 and just now got a review.

The best review is from fellow gamers and yourself. Read what the community has to say. Play the Demo. Watch Let's Plays of parts of the game you are curious about. That's all you need to make a good decision.

They probably also haven't reviewed it since I do believe that the HOMM series has kind of petered out with people. Especially considering that the game isn't generating that much buzz with people so I imagine there isn't any amount of terrible pressure on the guys at GS to release a review on this game with immediacy.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand still not reviewed. GS not giving a damn about good PC games confirmed?

This is the only gaming site I visit, so I guess it's no wonder I didn't even know Heroes 6 was out. How can they ignore a game with such a cult following?

game reviews dont matter, word of mouth and steam is enough.

Gamespot hasn't reviewed around 40-50+ decent or good pc games. They can't (or won't) review every game.

probably the company didnt pay enough... err i mean, they didnt care anough about it

more importantly...who cares? It's not like video game reviews mean anything anyway...

Blame the publishers for not sending review copies. If they don't do that the reviewers will have to BUY games themselves. That and the fact that they're probably busy, you know, with their lives...biggest_loser

because its not on xbox 360, therefore no review
