Here is a little food for thought. Apparently early reviews of an indie game can possibly hurt sales. An interesting article to give a read if you want to look deeper into the casual game market. Keep in mind though that this is just an opinion piece by a 'gaming editor' not a market expert. Though that also doesn't mean he's a quack.

So his entire point is that you don't want a review for a game that's not available yet? That kinda seems like an open door to me.
