Ever Seen An E3 Hangover?

It's not pretty and it's not police lingo. It's what happens when all the finely tuned athletic specimens known as video game writers return from E3 and finish filing all their reports that justify their expense accounts. Afterwards, they apparently enter a catatonic state where they do no work. That is the only explanation for the slowness of the NCAA Football 08 reviews going online on all of the major sites. It used to be many of them went up shortly before the game's midnight release, but now apparently with the E3 date change that is out of the window. This is what I've gathered so far:

IGN - 8.1 (Xbox/PS2)

GameDaily - 8 (Xbox 360)

1up.com - 8 (Xbox 360)

Game Informer -8 (Xbox 360)

I think it is very telling that there are no PS3 reviews out considering it is considered the inferior next gen edition. According the the 1up.com review, EA refused to send them a copy of the game for PS3. Sounds like someone is trying to avoid a very negative review til after all the midnight buyers have already plunked down their cash.
