As long as people are aware that bad things might get better, say what 
you want. I just don't want people to think "oh, I read a review that 
said your urine is purple, so I'm not buying it!"  :)

> 2) I assume screenshots of in-game play are off-limits.

No, they aren't. There isn't anything here that can't been seen in the 
Windows or Linux builds. If you want to show a screenshot of it running 
on a Mac desktop, that might be something your readers would like to 
see. Be my guest.

> 3) Are screenshots of NON in-game shots offlimits? (e.g. icon on 
> desktop, installer dialog, Terminal shots)?

The icon might change, but show it if you like.

Seriously, just don't slam some element of the game if it's obviously 
something that's going to change before release. It's mostly a common 
sense thing, not some strict guideline.
