Press always gets games early. That way, product reviews are there when said product hits stores.

Yep, as Greg said, it's common practice for press to get access to a game early so the review can come out when the game comes out. This doesn't typically influence the review.
Greg, glad you liked the game!
heres my review.
Reviewers always get the games early thats how it works
although i actually use reviews on some games to determine if i want to buy it or not, although i already have my mind made up about most games even before the reviews start coming out
It's not a bad review, but some might appreciate a heads-up.

i like the smaller review sites bacause they actually censor what they post so that they do not spoil anything
"Actually, on the subject of digital distribution, the new episode of Sam & Max is out and it's Goddamned excellent."
&
"I've played every one of the Sam und Max adventures virtually the day they arrived. Between the two of them, Telltale and GameTap are the only people making anything that could even remotely be considered "episodic" in nature, and I hope they're being richly rewarded for it."
&
"Hearing that this "season" of the game is en route to consoles was (to keep going with the heart thing) like a soothing balm gently applied to the aorta. I love the idea of someone tooling around in the online store for whatever system, grabbing the demo on a lark, and being transported to a place where dogs wear suits and a rabbit might pull you over and fucking rob you."
Also, on IGN, Episode 5 is now up to 96% rating from users.
BTW, I'm sorry... I read the IGN review out of boredom...:(
i would rate it as yeilding a perfect impression of my face on my keyboard, so it is a 10 out of 10 on the damage scale
(that joke was comming sooner or later)
Let's not forget the X-Play-style review...
"We give IGN's review a 1...... "WHAT THE HOLY HELL WERE THEY THINKING??"..... out of 5."
I bet if IGN wrote a Final Fantasy 7 review today they would say, "we had to drop the score by 2/10ths of a point because the part where Aries died made us very sad. The plot twist where we find out Cloud was never in SOLIDER was not very good, so it lost another 5/200ths of a point."

Havn't read it myself yet, so I can't really tell you if there is any spoilers in it, but by just looking at the scores, I get more and more impatient for this episode to come out.
other than that, no major spoilers...... so you can read it
and while the gamespot review has no major spoilers, it does reveal too much about the game, so i would stay away from it if you have not played the game yet
P.S. since i already played the game, i will tell everyone if something is safe to read.......... so far, i would stay away from the ign review, and the wiki for reality 2.0

But Reality 2.0 is probably the most innovative of all the episodes. I have never played any other game like this episode, and I'm sure many people would even call TTG crazy for risking something like this. I love that quality in a company - risk taking. So: Great job, TTG! Also, the way it's done really makes it fun even for those who don't know the old computers, but know about modern online gaming and such... really gives the episodes more layers of humour.
