However, given the range of scores currently in the public realm, the wording of the statement below is disingenuous at best. The job of PR is to make things look good, after all. However, EA seems to have been particularly particular in choosing which scores to feature in the accompanying text. Hot on the heels of the 2pm embargo came a press release, detailing the now customary plans for DLC and picking out a few choice quotes and scores from the coverage in the wild so far.
We'll look at the reasons for the scores which result in that average below, but first it seems appropriate to call attention to a rather bizarre dissonance between that average and the result of some quick and very selective mathematics from EA's marketing department.
Dead Space 3's review embargo lifted yesterday (at 2pm UK time) and it seems that the game has been generally well received - currently hovering around a Metacritic of 80 per cent with a fairly wide range of scores from 50 per cent (VideoGamer) to near perfect (Game Informer - 9.8/10).
