It seems like its a common practice. Gives the writers plenty of time to play the game and get the review done ahead of time. It's heavy season right now. They don't have the time to play alot of games near the deadline and rush a review.
If a producer things the game really is shit they will simply not give a copy of the game for review. It is a common practice in the Movie industry. Ebert and Roeper were denied early access to alot of different movies that the producers knew they would just shit on them and give them 2 thumbs down.
