We don't want to come off as elitist or whiny just because we got the game the same day as all our readers. We strive to deliver our reviews as quickly as possible, preferably before or on the launch date for major titles. Unfortunately, Nintendo's actions have made that impossible for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. We just wanted to explain the delay, since we have had such extensive (and timely) coverage of this game for over two years preceding its release. Whether you're enjoying the game already or waiting to hear more before deciding to buy it, please check back this weekend for our non-rushed review.
Hmmm... while the sites might mean well for giving us this explanation but is it actually needed? You could have easily just posted impressions of the game which includes statements that you just got the review copy of the game. I together with my other friends also ran a fan site and are envy on sites like you that get review copies... I am just surprise with the explanation that is posted.
Again a article that you just got the game would be enough for your readers to understand why you don't have reviews up yet. It isn't like we will call in the Brotherhood of Nod to destroy NWR for not putting up a review early hehehe.
In summary, i am dissapointed on this article. For today NWR gets a thumbs down from me. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day
