So, are there any reviews out yet? I asked ZeitgeistReview if he was doing a review, and he replied saying he finished it last week, and was going to post the vid on Monday (PST). Anyone else got any links they want to show?

    Found some pictures I hadn't seen before on neoseeker, but I haven't seen any reviews yet.

    I want to be a tester or a reviewer when I get a job!

    Shouldn't you wait for the Episode to be released, before, you read the review?

    Of course not. That's ridicilous.

    301 reviews also hit before 301 hit, most reviews do actually...

    Until is released. 301 was released first in IPad =P. So, the reviews hit after the release.

    Actually, pretty much all games get reviews before they are released. That's what press-versions are for (otherwise; why send a beta-version to them?).

    If press-release versions get released only after the game, or reviews only after the game that's usually a sign of bad quality the devs/producer try to hide by not allowing reviewers to review it, so first-day sellers are blind to what rubbish they are about to purchase.

    S&M is sort of unique here though, as you can't purchase 302 seperately anyway. But I don't think TTG games suck and they have to hide that by blocking reviews until after release...

    This kills me. I write my review so covertly so no one gets spoiled and people just yell out the characters returning. Rage.

    To be fair, he did put it in spoiler tags. Unless you were talking about the reviewer?

    Reviewer, as I have my review written so bare-bones plotwise just to ensure people still get the great surprise I got.

    Here's our review (new screens I suppose, since I always screencap my own). No major spoilers (by the way):

    I've been rounding up reviews over in the stickied Sammun-Mak thread. Lots of nice words about the ep so far :)
