looks amazing but no gameplay, so im guessing it will just end up being another dumb dead rising game.

You watch Inside Gaming as well? :O
One week to go :)

Anyone know if our Aussie release will have its violence toned down because of our lack of an R18 classification, like what happened with L4D2 ?

Great! :D
4 days remain, and no reviews. It isn't a good sign
Its a sign that it's been kept under wraps, that is all.
Lucky I can't afford it right now or i'd probably go out and do a compulsive purchase. This game has been hyped up so much and no one even really knows what it plays like!
JB don't have their awesome pre order deal anymore (the one with the headphones) so I will prob get it off the net for $60
Hopefully it's not gonna be a let down cause this is one game that I am really excited to be gettin. It would be good hearing a few reviews or something though since it is so close to release date

yes scary... usually theres reviews a few days before.. but i guess if it was really bad the previews would be crap to?? or at least the demos that have been shown on youtube look good.. man I'm just counting the days.. X_X
maybe its so good that the reviewers cant stop playing it... :O
There is a strict NDA - the press can't talk about it until a certain date, and that is why you aren't seeing any reviews yet.

Is that because the game is not very good ?
Why else would they not want people talking about it, telling everyone how amazing this game is that comes out in a few days
If early reviews come out with bad scores it really hurts a games sales
I pre ordered with the headphones so i am getting it anyway
Yeah it's a bit annoying from the customer point of view. I don't like to pre-order any games until I at least see one review, otherwise it's too much of a gamble (unless of course it's a game from a well known franchise, which in that case it is arguably likely that the game will be good anyway)
It doesn't always mean a game is bad, sometimes they just prefer to wait until closer to the release date.

I called it. To inhibit public opinion, usually means the expectations are low.
Well our copy should be arriving today - the preview was pretty damn impressive so I'm sure the final copy will be good also.

So your lips will be sealed then?
Embargo's are in place for pretty much every game. Very rarely is a game allowed to be reviewed before the release date. Maybe 1-2 days before. Depends on the publisher, but 90% of the time the embargo is for the launch date.

Deus Ex was the same. Rockstar always has strict embargo's. No reviews for this prior to release is not out of the norm.

Although, there is always at least 1-2 publications that have exclusive review access (via "means"), and any lack of these sorts of reviews generally alludes to issues, or the publisher not wanting any reviews before launch.

If there isn't a Dead Island review from the likes of IGN/Gamespot in the next few days, it probably isn't a good sign.

That said, I like it. That's all I'm saying.

Anyway, launch trailer:

Mine will be - I think Tano is reviewing this one so I will have to wait like the rest of you :(

PC Gamer magazine seemed to announce that the game was going to get 94% well before the release date.
They announced it was going to get a 94%? Why wouldn't they just say "it's a good game" lol People are so reliant on game scores these days.
It doesn't show much confidence in their own product -_- What are they afraid of? They want people to buy it on release, then reviews come out, like DNF [MOG] Review scores are important so we don't buy games like Naughty Bear. duh...

Deus Ex. Reviews came out 2weeks prior to release
