In the german topic NGSN ("Next Generation Spiele News" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> ) there was recently a heated discussion, because one of Germany's major gaming mags, the Gamestar, had "tested" it without having a testable version of the game. It seems, they used an very old beta for testing, but printed it, and gave the game not so much points as it would have deserved as the full game tested. The publisher for Germany says it contained only abozut 5 % of the whole game. Gamestar instead says that the publisher had booked an large advertisement and expected a high ranking for that.
This nasty thing is very much discussed here in Germany, because this is the first case of such an awful error.
Personally, Gamestar behaves somehow stubborn : They say they wil NOT repeat the test with the full version.
This says two things : If it is true that the publisher had booked such a large ad for getting better reviews, then it must've been the case in earlier reviews, because otherwise they wouldn't have had the idea at all, I believe.
On the other hand, Gamestar has failed to test a game carefully. They didn't even test the Multiplayer part.
KnightShift consists mainly of two parts : A roleplaying game and an RTS game. I'd suggest using RPGDot.com for searching for more information about this.
