    [​IMG]Tom Orry has written an editorial announcing changes in their review policy.

    The reason is this:

    There's also an increasing likelihood that the game we review will have changed by the time it's in your hands on 'Day One'. It now seems more likely than not that a game will receive a patch between the time the disc is printed and it goes on sale. We need to account for this in our reviews. ​
    Tom Orry announces that the changes in review policy will be these:

    • We will only award a game a score if we've been able to test all aspects to our satisfaction, offline and online.
    • We will award a game a score based on the experience at the time. Review conditions will be stated in the coverage.
    • Review text and scores may be updated once we've tested the game in consumer conditions, with the game released and online servers populated with real players.
    • Review text and scores may be updated if a title receives significant and game-changing updates post release. This does not include DLC unless offered for free to all.
    • If review text or score is changed the original text and score will be archived on the page.
