Gamespot is a decent site, but when it comes to these Russian games they have ALWAYS been very slow and there are quite a few games such as 7.62mm ToW 2, which haven't even recognised as being released yet...So I was just wondering if this is infact true and the game is released but we weren't informed? |
Hi there! As it happens, I am the GameSpot editor who reviewed Moment of Truth. We received review code for Moment of Truth over a week ago, though it did not include any embargo information or a definite release date (it is worth noting that Aspyr's site indicates the game is now available, though I don't know whether or not that is true). Obviously, I played Moment of Truth from beginning to end--I wouldn't have been able to review it or provide screenshots and video of the game if I hadn't!
I will ask someone to put a few feelers out and find out if we can find some information regarding the game's release date. For what it's worth, we don't overlook a game based on where it is developed, though our rather small team of reviewers simply cannot review everything. We rely on receiving review code for smaller titles like Death to Spies. If we don't receive review code, niche games will go unreviewed, often because the game is impossible to find on store shelves and may be unavailable on services like Steam and Direct2Drive. And while it is unfortunate, when having to choose which games to review and which we must sadly overlook because we simply can't review everything, we have to choose the game more likely to interest our readers.
I'd never heard of 7.62 mm until I read this thread, but I guarantee we haven't received review copies of it, and obviously we can't review a game if we don't have it. In this case, we received the game and were able to review it. 1C is usually pretty good about sending us code--that's why we were able to post reviews for games like Cryostasis, Necrovision, Death Track: Resurrection and so on. The good news on an occasion like this is at least you know the game is done... so with luck, a shelf date isn't too far off.
