And then there's the concept of «exclusive» reviews in which other publications are held to a set
date while one site or magazine gets to publish a review, completely shattering the idea of what an
embargo is while raising questions of
games getting high scores in return for the exclusive deal which guarantees a load of extra views.
If you're lucky and get a
game well ahead of release the review may be
embargoed until a certain
date and time, which essentially means you can not publish your review before that time.
