First of all, I wanna say that I'm really looking forward to this game, and I can't wait to get my pre-order in the 20th!

A very popular gamesmagazine in Holland, called 'Power Unlimited' released their review of 'Alone in the Dark' on the 23rd of may in their magazine (which means it had to be written even before that). How is it possible that this is still the only review I've read of the game so far? Did they perhaps mix up the review and preview code of the game, or does Atari like them so much they could get the game way before the rest of the reviewers. I've asked the question on their forums, but I'm being professionally ignored there.

By the way, here's a link to the review (it's in dutch), posted online on the 10th of june:

The game would not have been held back from release without a good reason, so I think it's more likely to be a preview based on near-final code.

All 360 games have to be submitted to Micro$oft for their review and QA in near completed state, this code is also usually sent to reviewers.

For AITD this review code was available to play at MCM expo in London this year on 24/25th May.:bravo:.
