Not surprising really. Given how much money is spent on developing games in this day and age, making sure that few, if any reviews hit the internet before a game comes out is going to become increasingly common.
Think about it: a handful of negative reviews can do far more damage (potentially) to a games initial sales than dozens of positive ones, as it is likely that they will be the ones most widely circulated amongst gamers.
