Question by UnlovedJew: How do you get free video games from publishers?
I’ve noticed that certain people and blogs get video games early for free from various video game publishers. I would like to make a blog to review games. But what do I do in order to get games early from someone like Microsoft, Nintendo, or EA? Is there a place you register at?

No.

no theres no place to “register” but you have to be affiliated with a more well known reviewing site like ign or kotaku and people have to actually read your blog
The people who do this are either paid video game reviews or very popular free lance game reviewers.
Considering you asking this i’m assuming you would need to be a free lance to get the games.
You will need to draw attention to your self as a game reviewer, although this won’t be easy.
I recommend posting game reviews were people will care to look or watch them.

there are only 2 ways to do this, they are either famous or have connections, for example with me my sister is a professional gamer and my aunt designed the game medal of honor so therefore i get a lot of video games “free” i can promise you that no company will just hand you a few new games for reviewing on a blog. in that case nothing would ever be new any joe could just ask for a game saying that he is a critic even though he is not. work your way up get people to notice you! start by reviewing games as they come out that’s when people want to know about them not before hand!
so Dr. house is right. No, for an ordinary person, i can guarantee you will find somebody with connections. in theory you know everyone in this world through six degrees of separation or less do some research on that.
