I finally got to see the reviews from Game Informer that you mentioned, TIME....now that my Game Informer subscription is FINALLY arriving at the right address after TWO fracking years.
Yeah, GI was fairly lenient too...although the second opinion was less forgiving.
I truly hope Mad Doc and Bethesda release patches for the PC and 360 versions that will fix a lot of the bugs that have held this game back from great initial reviews.
Q'apla,
