How long until the horde of reviews hit?

[Top Secret]

It seems now that since we are only two weeks away, a barrage of reviews is imminent. Anyone know if reviewers have their copies yet, or if Valve is with-holding reviews until X time?

Not that I need a review.

I would just like to watch a few people praise the game and confide in myself what a genius I am for buying it.

I'm guessing some magazine (PC Gamer) probably got dibs?

It depends on if they did advance reviewing sessions for the game, Valve usually dont do that (at least not in the traditional sense), so they will have to wait for a steam unlock like everyone else.
