Thanks for the quick response Kevin - I was hoping that the reviewer was someone who visited this forum
and of course i wasn't saying the review was a fake or anything of that nature..I was just concerned because, being an Australian..We don't get these games in our stores, so i have to rely on forums such as these and websites such as Gamespot so i can know when to start searching the online stores.
I apologise if it seemed as if i was saying that Gamespot ignore games based on who made it - I didn't mean that at all, as you said, it's more likely that the reviewers simply don't know the game has been released, or perhaps there is little to no hype regarding the game so they aren't even made aware of the fact it's coming.
I only mentioned that Gamespot are slow when it comes to Russian games because sometimes a game can be in (online) stores for half a year before they finally announce it's been released on the website - However, again, this isn't the fault of anyone in particular..As the website just seems to focus on outside of Europe sales primarily, so a release date will remain TBA (US) until it's released in the states...
People who haven't been following the game at a place such as the 1c forum/homepage..Will not know the game is out...Only a minor problem, but the games that are good enough like Death to Spies/Men of War do get the recognition they deserve
that's why i continue to use Gamespot.
7.62mm is the sequel to the unofficial sequel of the Jagged Alliance series (well that's what i have gathered..) but it was only used as an example because it was one of the less hyped/anticipated games and i was trying to make a point
I am not surprised that a code wasn't sent for that game though (no offense 1c..) However i am still wondering why Theatre of War 2 hasn't been reviewed yet? The original was fairly well known and the sequel appeared to be more of the same great features..Though last time i checked, GS has 2 variations..One titled Theate of War 2, and one titled Theatre of War 2 Afrika Corps...Both are the same game, and neither state they have been released yet - But i suppose this can be explained by not being able to obtain a copy/code...So i will just shut up now..
Anyway, enough ranting and rambling..I am very glad to see the review, now i know i should start looking at online stores
Thanks again, and a nice review too by the way.
