Spoilers! Chapter 3 Reviews [spoilers ahoy, obviously!]

Here is a good place where you can link to reviews as soon as they are released, so we can have one big list. Does anyone know of any reviews that have been made public yet? We are creeping towards 9/29 in several timezones.

That doesn't really matter because the game will be released when it hits 9/29 in Pacific time. And it's unknown what time of day.

I wouldn't want to read a review until I finished playing the game anyway. Too much of a spoiler!

I'm a spoiler lover, and reveiws tend to keep certain things under wraps which keeps a certain element of surprise.

The embargo ends when September 29 starts in the PST time zone, so you should not see any reviews appear before that.

It can always be worse. My graphics card broke and now I won't be able to play it for ~2weeks. Imagine that!

I would die! I didn't know about CrossOver Games (I only have Mac) so I couldn't play them until about a week after Spinner Cay came out. At first I was so impatient that I just watched a video walkthrough of Screaming Narwahl on youtube

I won't be playing it for at least a month (Wiiware+Nintendo Europe=lengthy delays where nothing is actually done to edit the game)

Yea, that's how a day of work has to end!
Coming home and playing the newest episode of Monkey Island

Tomorrows work will be a pain because of that
I think waiting a month is nothing compared to wait a few hours [..]

In a month you think about a lot of things .. and eventually forget the real thing .. but if it's a short amount of time .. you get this itching feeling to want it this instant

As midnight pacific time rolls away, a few reviews have been spotted in the wild.

Note that these contain extreme spoilers!!! Episode info is given away that some of you may not want to see.

Light spoiler: both of these guys liked it

Against all odds, I find myself pining for that "golden teabag" we were awarded with chapter 1. You can't always hold the golden teabag, I guess.

Yep! My first game review! I'm a little bit nervous about it... I'm glad you like it, makes me less nervous.
You will have to play the game to find out... hehe!
By the way, check your spoiler tag.

I think your paragraph about Murray and Guybrush reuniting melted the icy heart of Leviathan's writer Sean Vanaman.
