Perhaps, but that's not how EGM reviews games now and the fact that they're essentially using a loophole to give the game a review minus a concrete score comes off as little more than a cheap stunt to create some buzz for EGM. They say they're not going to review the game because of what Konami said they couldn't discuss, and they come off as "hardcore" to the average gamer -- and their roundtable discussion allows them to still, more or less, review the game.
As for the method being used for game reviews, I'd be in favor of that -- but that's a discussion for another time.
