GS is usually last with news, vids, info, and reviews.

They probably just get their review copies later than other sites, that was the case with FF3 which was ludicrously late.

It was still up later than most other sites though. I don't buy the whole "its higher quality" argument, cos when you get down to it, there reviews aren't that much better than much of their competition. I do know that in many cases GS has been behind in getting review code but I can't understand why that should be, GS is after all a big site.

They say it's because they want to be thorough and calculating. But in all honesty it's probably because they're understaffed (compared to others)

well GS are Ninendo fanboys, that would explain the high scores of bad Wii games, like Warioware and Zelda

They don't have a deadline like a magazine does, so they most likely get review copies late.

What's the point of posting a review nearly a week before the game comes out?

So people can guage more easily if it is any good? Or so they can just hear about all the quirks and such before buying? Heres a counter question..Whats the point of posting a review over a week after the game comes out?

PS3_FTW can afford to make this kind of posts because any shred of credibility he might have was lost long ago :lol:

Agreed.

And the fact that they video review a large portion of their games in contrast to IGN.

To one up your competitors and to try and look "better" so you can get more web hits or subscriptions.

GS is slow with all content updates.  They didn't update much at all yesterday.  I normally go to other sites for my daily news.

so why are we still waiting for the sonic review? and if GS really is biased, how come so many other places gave zelda and wario high scores?

I have no idea how he could have lost credibility... [QUOTE="PS3_FTW"][QUOTE="luigigreen"] How? Just because you said we got owned makes it true? Even though you think Samus is a robot. :lol:

wtf is samus? i said metroid is a robot

But I think that GS can be behind due to either a slight lack of staffing an inability to put down the game before they think they have played enough of it for a good review. (A good thing)
