He's away with family. He's not announcing the releases this week.

It's not like his family is more important than Space Giraffe.

I mean, come on, it's Space Giraffe.

Edit: Actually, it looks like he's still making posts, just not doing a show.

http://gamerscoreblog.com/team/default.aspx is the place to go for live arcade releases. Not that anything has been announced yet!

I suppose that means 5pm will be the hour of truth!

What will it be, eh?

Otherwise, reviewers would never finish playing a game before it was released...

I completely agree. But, they should still mention the fact that they didn't finish the entire game in their review, and also say how long they played it for, and what percentage of the game they completed.

That way you can tell if the reviewer put 10 hours into playing the game before writing up the review, or simply had a go for about 10 minutes before making up his/her mind. Sometimes 10 minutes might be enough for some games, where other times it's the equivalent to judging a book on its cover.

A lot of reviews today present themselves in a manner that the reviewer actually did play the game to death, finishing it entirely, which is a dishonest approach.

Yeah, that's a good read. Makes the wait even harder.

Just under the 'Bomus Attack' typo theres a 'min effect' which should be 'in effect' as well.

I've only mentioned one typo so far, as I didn't want the wrath of the anti-spags down on me again.

@gravy: There's a few more typos dotted through the blog. I'll give you a list if you want?
