    I believe the review was only available for subscribers. From memory it was over 9000. I reckon you should go buy it.

    They don't review every game they QL. However, in 10 minutes (and the Bombcast they cover it a lot) they bascicly review it then. 4 stars.

    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, 
     
    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?

    Yes, we want OUR guys to review it. Because they don't suck.

    Why don't you send them a pm and personally ask them. Make sure you ask if they're lazy.

    Surprised why they pulled through with this, but again didn't review Red Dead Redemption. Suppose because Vanquish is a much more intricate title that not everyone can safely guess it'll be fantastic.
