The online embargos on reviews for Call of Duty: Black Ops lifts on the day of release, apparently, unless you're a site called CGaming, which has posted the following video review.
While we're at it, GameInformer has printed its 9/10 review (courtesy of Gaming Everything). It concludes:
"Concept – Remember Modern Warfare? Yeah, like that but in 1968
"Graphics – Call of Duty remains at the top of the visual heap, not least because of the always-excellent framerate.
"Sound – Outstanding voice work brings the story to life.
"Playability – The control scheme hasn’t changed. This is still the gold standard for console FPS
"Entertainment – This may be going through the series’ established motions, but that’s one dance I’m more than happy to repeat.
"Replay Value – High"
