[stevo1]

For those that may have some idea, when do you think the "bigger" gaming websites will post reviews? Since it releases on the 7th of Aug.

Non-retail review copies have been sent out for organisations with debug enabled PS3s and Xbox360s.

Reviews expected on which dates?

 

[barmyarmy]

I don't know what their timescales are for writing reviews but expect quite a few over the next 2 weeks.

You'd like to hope so.

I would just take a new gameplay vid at the moment!!! let alone a review!!

Excellent review. Everything's boding greatly for this game... wonderful work by the Transmission team, you guys are going places.

everywhere its a same thing dude.

i remember reading somewhere that gamespot reviewer was fired because he tore apart GTA IV for being such a poorly imported game.

then rockstar paid them off and got 9.0 Review !!!

all these high profile websites and reviewers are always on the companies pay roll...

The Guardian's one of the best and most well-known, reliable news sources out there; very, very few publications can even dream of coming as close to their levels of reliability and authenticity. Anyone who's trying to knock GU's truthfulness clearly aren't very well-acquainted with such matters and should try and read up on these things before commenting like pessimistic children.

Show me the proof that gamespot fired an employee for writing a negative review about GTA IV and I will gladly admit to be an idiot.

Yeah, it's even more unlikely that something like that would be made public too.

is it just me or does it look almost identical to BLIC2007 ??
please tell me the PC version is a different build !!! :upray

 

[Kshitiz_Indian]

The Wii version wasn't that bad, but I notice, commentary is BLC 99 like!

 

[Allrounder18]

Wii version looking literally crap but I am sure PC version will be teh best :P

 

[papalazarou]

Well I'd counter that by saying no it doesnt. Looks ok and is probably decent fun to play. And of course the PC version will hopefully be more of the simulation.

Thought it might be good to get a thread up compiling all the reviews.

The Guardian is first to bat, thanks Gilly Fan for finding it!

Game review: Ashes Cricket 2009 for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PC | Technology | The Guardian

"Past cricket games have suffered from being lopsided, with either batting or bowling ? but not both ? being enjoyable. Ashes 2009 satisfactorily addresses that fundamental flaw"

4/5 stars

Sounds very good - the cricket game we've been waiting for. Just to confirm: we can play other Test series as well as the Ashes?
