    Nope, I'll be home playing another baseball game on my PS3 and checking OS for impressions of 2K8.

      Of course it has relevance, obviously there isnt an embargo if EGM has already reviewed the damn thing, I don't get how you people are this dense, I really don't.
      Whoa...second time in this thread you insulted the guy....put the coffee down and have a Poland Spring instead...what do you say?....sounds like your nerves could use the break

        Do you not know the meaning of the word "embargo"? Who the hell cares about whether a website has reviewed it, there is a review out there, therefore there can't be an embargo. Simple logic really, I can see that you can't follow it though.

            LOL nice reply. Same here, I'll wait weeks if I have to. I have both systems and MLB 08 The Show to play until I hear/see how good 2K8 is.

              he said.. 2K changed their minds...

              maybe it happened after EGM released theirs? Can that be possible?

                Im a little confused. How can 2k block a review from IGN. IGN does not work for 2k and has no vested interest in 2k. If IGN wants to release a review, how can 2k stop them? If anything, they should be more inclined to release the bad review to inform the public about a bad game, dont you think? Anyone know how 2k can do that?

                  In all honestly, I have no idea, but I'm not going to leap to the conclusion that there's an insidious reason behind it just because I don't know what it is. Maybe it's because it's terrible (despite the generally positive impressions thread). Maybe they're tired of feeling like they're getting hosed by IGN. Maybe the 2k folks are control freaks, or maybe Hilary didn't get it finished because he decided to go to the movies and made up an excuse. Or a million other silly/fake/meaningless reasons. Just doesn't seem like there's a reason to panic or fight here. The game is being bought as we speak.

                    whateva.. Im still getting it because I like this game about 100x more then the scripted feel the "other" game has.

                    OMG OMG OMG IGN says the other game is better. Time to make it into world ending news.

                      Why are you so willing to swallow what this guy tells you? He has been caught in lies before, and he is an awful writer, I don't trust him as far as I could throw a house.

                        not to be nitpicky.. but Hil wasn't the actual reviewer... Nate reviewed the game.

                              This is a guess, but 2k provides the early to media sources probably with a contract with terms about review publishing dates. I'd assume if IGN didn't agree they wouldn't get the game early, allowing other sites that did to be able to "scoop" them on features, screenshots and coverage in general.

                                I guess it's impossible for it to happen "after the fact"
