  Seems Go Gaming Giant recently ran a review of Halo 3: ODST on their site, a full 12 hours before the embargo was to be lifted by Microsoft on all reviews (in an attempt to ensure everyone had a fair chance at getting exposure to their review).  It is amazing that they did this at G3, as I call them, and really not a smart thing, really really not at all.
  The embargo was to be lifted on Saturday 20th at 12:01 AM EST, G3 ran their review a full 12 hours prior to that and promptly got it listed on News4Gamers.net where it quickly brought in great numbers of readers looking for information on the game.  It also caught the eye of Microsoft.

  I won't spoil the fun for everyone, just suffice to say, it didn't turn out to well for G3 at all.  For the full story, head over to Icrontic.com.

Seems pretty clear cut to me. I totally support Microsoft on this action.
