This is not uncommon. I remember some hoopla about a similar situation with Fable, Oblivion, Kane & Lynch, Arkham Asylum and maybe Fallout 3.

Mostly they target the most popular/common magazines. Which has contributed to reviews from them becoming near worthless imo.

In edition to this, if a magazine gives a game a negative review, they can say goodbye to future review copies.

@Dowly, the K&L story is true, Gamespot sold out around the turn of the century.
