Does IGN get video games early for early reviews?

You won’t get reviews, but you will get previews. These “big game reviewers” are invited into early builds so they can hype up the game. They are also time to time forced to sign a no bad press contract, so they get an early preview they can only mention the positive points about it. (so alot of previews are half sided reviews) – but after the game comes out the truth is told. Also these guys send them to major gaming confrences like PAX, E3, Blizzard, QuakeCon, where companies show off their games. Anyway – simply put, you won’t get a review till the game is made public, but you get previews on whats happening and how it is so far.
