…and one of them is from IGN. That’s a bit out of left field. From what I understand, a review embargo is in effect until the day of release. I could have been wrong, I suppose… or, perhaps IGN gave it a high enough score to warrant permission to break the embargo. 9.6 is quite the honor. But then again, NowGamer gave it the even more prestigious 9.8.

Also, I totally spoiled the plot of FFXIII for myself. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I do know that I have… 48 or so hours to finish Darksiders.
