This has to rank up there with one of the all-time most boring months of reviews for them. Obviously Oblivion is a "big" game that has gotten rave reviews everywhere, but nothing else on there is really a major release that will cater to more than a small sector of fans.
 
They probably saved it because they knew they had a slow month coming up. I don't really remember what they reviewed last month but they must have had at least one other big release in there. Brain Age is definitely a niche title and I think that would have been the game of the month if they didn't do Oblivion now.
 
[quote name='Stuka']I'm still wondering why they reviewed Oblivion in June when it came out in April...[/QUOTE]

Considering how massive the game is, I'm glad they took the extra time with the game before writing the review.
