I worry that the franchise is becoming too anglocentric... ACIII > American revolution against the British; ACIV > British protagonist amidst British pirates. And everything hints at ACV being set in India during the British occupation. I must admit I was expecting more variety.

I see nothing wrong about multiple reviews - on the contrary, I see them as something natural and I am actually somewhat surprised they haven't been implemented earlier. Many cinema magazines or newspapers publish different reviews for the same film, allowing each critic to offer his/her own unique point of view on it. And it's only fair, because the audience too have different opinions.
In the same way, a truly comprehensive gaming site - which Gamespot undoubtedly aims to be - should mirror its public's diversity, giving it the opportunity to contact with several perspectives. This allows each user not only to relate more to a certain reviewer (thus increasing the trustworthiness of the reviews), but also to open his/her mind to other ways to look at the game and to enjoy it.
I'd say Gamespot only errs on the side of tardiness.
