As of the time of this posting, there are still no published reviews for Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 (outside of our own, and a handful of other independents).

I mean here we are, with the official release imminent, yet there is complete silence from the major game review sites.  My bet is the review sites are holding their reviews back.  They have been previewing the game and hosting media for years, with endless interviews, faux analysis, and endless hype, yet no review come crunch time?  I smell a rat...

I guess we'll find out once they release their reviews and we see the scores.

Low scores meant they most likely held the review back so the game could sell a few copies, and it also means you should look elsewhere for reviews you can TRUST (like here? ahem).

As a gamer, I really hate this industry sometimes.  Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

[Edit]:  Reviews are finally starting to roll in, and the biggest of the review sites (IGN, Team Xbox, etc.) are scoring it in the 8's.  No surprise there, that is pretty much on par with our review, and I'm glad these reviews weren't held for too long.
