Embargoes are nothing new in the video game world, and though they’ve been the source of a lot of controversy the past few years, I fundamentally understand the need for their existence. Without the informal rules embargoes put in place, reviewing games would be a race to the bottom, with journalists scrambling to be the first ones done with a game in order to get their score out before everyone else. That would be awful for the press, the publishers and fans, for obvious reasons.
