Embargo has been lifted. Xbox One game reviews abound!

Well, I was able to answer my own question.. 3rd party titles are available today (COD, Battlefield, Assassins Creed, NFS, etc. but not Microsoft titles, i.e Ryse, dead rising, forza.
 
I wouldn't worry about the embargo, I think its more of MS doesn't want all 3 major games and hardware to be reviewed on the same day so they spread them out this week. DR3 Monday, Hardware Tues, Forza 5 Wed, Ryse Thurs.

Yeah that does make sense. Makes me a little more hopeful that Ryse could turn out decent too.

I predict an 8+ from Polygon on their XB1 review

If all the features work well on the dashboard, the Kinect works as promised and it's all good and fast...yes i see a 8 or 8+ as well then. I also see crying Sonyboys going....''Polygon is made by MS shills...funded by MS, bribed by MS''. And so on...lol.

If you don't have it yet, I highly reccomend it.

- I were abit down on the franchise due to franchise-fatigue, but after I saw Giant Bomb quickplay I decided to buy it.
- I think either this AC is my favourite in the franchise- or perhaps the second one many years ago.
Abit slow start with too many stealth-follow/listen missions - and not that open - but after two three hours, when you start unlocking more stuff and it opens up, it shines as a pretty amazing sandbox game. :)

If you just want a next-gen upgrade and wonders if it's worth the extra dollars, I can't help you. :p

I was at gamestop buying BF4 and AC4 was there. I was thinking on buying it to. I only played the first one.

I made a thread last week asking users here to predict review scores. There were 24 posts with predictions (not all games received a prediction), and here are the averages, and Metacritic scores (reviews continuing to come in) next to them (if applicable):
  • VIDEO GAME TITLE: UVGF / METACRITIC
  • Forza 5: 8.7
  • Ryse: 7.2
  • Dead Rising 3: 7.7 / 8
  • Loco Cycle: 5.6 / 6.3
  • Killer Instinct: 8.1 / 7.4
  • Zoo Tycoon: 7.3 / 7.6
  • Crimson Dragon: 6.7 / 5.7
  • Powerstar Golf: 6.8 / 7
  • Zumba World Party: 6.2
  • Fighter Within: 4.9
Interesting results so far!

This is a bit of an embarrassing demo. I guess the mic/speakers were messing with Kinect, but still, he had to repeat himself a few times for several commands.:

Not saying they're bribed by MS, but they have a pretty obvious bias. Repeating "sonyboys" says more about you than anyone else.

I'm starting to think that 7.2 for Ryse is going to be a stretch...lol.

Lol...eh ok?

Go onto a certain forum and some other forums and you will see Sony fanboys always bringing that argument up. I don't see the bias when they give DR3 a 7.5 and not a 8 or even 9 and by the looks of it they wont give Ryse a high score.

Yeah I'm having my doubts. Polygon said this in their X1 review:
"Ryse is beautiful but boring (and thankfully short)."
