The November issue of Game Informer, which should start hitting subscribers in a week, will have a Skyrim feature. Andrew Reiner of GI said that "Elder Scrolls fans are going to love our next issue."

It won't be the review though because Pete said the other day that they've embargoed all of their game reviews meaning the media can't publish them becore launch day. Someone asked him about the RAGE reviews and that's what he said. He said it got "too confusing" with reviews popping up at different dates. So no Skyrim review before 11.11.11, which means they'll start showing up in January issues of magazines. January issues will start hitting at the end of November since they're a month ahead.

Let the speculation continue...

when the magazine come out?

Should start hitting subscribers around the 10th. It's the November issue, but magazines are a month ahead.

Ill get it in a month...

I always get GI late

Skyrim launches in a little over a month.

Strange for a review to be after the release. Usually they're a few weeks beforehand.

I gave the reason in the OP. Online outlets will have the reviews on 11.11.11, or after depending on how early they get review copies. Since the December issue of magazines will start hitting in early November, they can't have their reviews in that issue. They'll have to wait for their January issues. Bethesda has a review embargo on all of their games now starting with RAGE. That's why the current October issues of magazines don't have RAGE reviews. Pete said it got "too confusing" with reviews showing up all over the place at different times.

I'm confused with all this one month ahead stuff. So if I go to the shops on the 10th of october will they have this issue for sale?

I can't wait! I always like GI's articles.

I'm not really sure what else they have left to reveal. As much as I want more information, it's mostly just out of anticipation for the actual game. I probably already know more than I should.

Wouldn't reviews be a few days/weeks before actual release?

No, that is when subscribers will receive it through the post.
