These views are fine, but Gies would certainly being defending the practice if Polygon was selected to give the exclusive review so it's pretty laughable.
Not going to point out names, but there's more than 2 people in the OP who should really start thinking before opening their mouths.

I don't see a problem. Geoff isn't really a reviewer. His role is eating Doritos and drinking Mountain Dew.
I can't wait for the review thread. It will be interesting to compare IGN's review to the rest.
He ever Paypal that money to you?
So just so we're clear:
Sending one outlet an early review copy: scum of the earth.
Sending all review outlets expensive special "press kits" with extra swag, or flying reviewers out to special review events in exotic places: absolutely fine.

I think it's silly for people to lambast these guys for this. What if they have decided to change their stance? I see it as a good thing that perhaps we have some people who are starting to understand why the community vilifies game journos so much.
Gies, Geoff, but I like Geoff, despite his Doritos 'incident'.
Gametrailers really only does exclusive previews through GT.TV, right? I don't recall them ever having an exclusive review.
That got a 10 lolDidnt GTA4 have an exclusive review on ign ?
I'll save you the trouble:
The game will average an 85 metacritic and have 9.0 scores from at least 70% of all the major websites. Another 25% will have 8, 8 and a half scores and the remaining 5 percent will be outliers but maybe more accurate than all the rest in many ways.
I am a psychic, bill me later.
Is there anything that Gies did to provoke the amount of people that dismiss him on this forum? I haven't necessarily agreed with his reviews in the past, but I don't know of anything that warrants people saying "Gies and integrity lol".
Then break the embargo. If they won't be fair, publish ahead of time.
are there examples of exclusive reviews that did not result in a good grade?

He gave a Simcity review that could have been written by EA PR and you couldn't tell the difference, it had that much positive hyperbole in it....
ahahahaha Arthur Gies and Geoff commenting on that.
