Embargo up on Monday, a week before release. SE must be confident. I've always hated Day-Of-Release embargoes. No money hats here! The cover proudly proclaims 'UNBIASED REVIEWS'.
I actually love that. Too funny.

Tomb Raider has received its first review, courtesy of this month’s issue of GamesMaster.
Crystal Dynamics’ latest earned a 90% score. The magazine had high praise for Tomb Raider’s visuals – the title was given a 95% rating in the category.
Players can look forward to 10-15 hours for the main story, though GamesMaster notes that it’ll take 20 to fully explore the island.
The magazine also enjoyed the “vivid” hubs and final third of the game “with its spectacular bombast”. GamesMaster wished Tomb Raider included more side tombs, but the ones present in the game are a joy to discover. For those wondering: there aren’t many quick time events.
GamesMaster sums up:
“Sitting back exhausted we were left with just one question dribbling forth from our gaping jaws. How on earth are they going to top this in the sequel? Because of one thing there can be no doubt. Lara is back.”
Look out for a whole slew of Tomb Raider reviews early next week. Square Enix will be ending the game’s embargo on Monday – over a week before the game launches.
Thanks to joclo for the tip.
