yo mister review where ya at?
Since the team here is so small, they usually have a policy that a late review serves nobody and so tend not to do them. If the review isn't out in the first week, it's not going to get any hits and the people who needed that critical analysis for informing their purchasing decision either A) listened to the Bombcast and got it from there as they tend to discuss the latest games in at least some depth or B) went somewhere else (ala metacritic/eurogamer et all) and got the info that way," I'm pretty sure they promised us a review of this game but it is 2 weeks now and still nothing :( does anyone know where it is? or is giantbomb just lazy (not a problem in my eyes, way to few people try to be lazy these days) "
Giantbomb isn't trying to be another Gamespot or IGN and just try to throw out as much content as they can - it's about a more personal take on things and so they can't afford to spread themselves too thin lest it compromise the quality of the site's content. Fair enough getting Alex Navarro to review a few games when they're short for time but I doubt any of us want to see too many freelance reviews popping up which is the only alternative (just look at the backlash that happened when Kessler started writing decent articles on a regular basis).
I'm pretty sure they promised us a review of Battle Fantasia, but it's been two years and still nothing.
Soooo... It may not actually happen. They've moved on to other games.
Why do we need a review? Aren't there enough out there already? Does anyone who hasn't bought it yet expect some vital fact about it to be revealed that no other site has mentioned?

Well, I take that back...

Make sure you ask if they're lazy.
