Press Copies

There were a couple of places in there threads where free demos and such were discussed, along side other methods for helping "sell" the game (including BoD options, etc).
A favorable review can go a long way toward selling games also, what is the GG policy as far as free copies for reviewers is concerned? Will we (the developers) be able to send gold copies to gaming mags & such in an effort to promote our game? Will GG have a alternate download area that we can use to supply recognized press with a free download (minimize the cost), with say a time limited password or some such method?
If possible it would probably be best to do targeted press reviews (you can tell which reviewers like certain types of games, and which don't care for certain themes). Shouldn't be too hard to look through a few back issues of print mags or spend some time digging through the online game "magazines" to find someone who has given games similar to yours a favorable review, and have them review your game.
Ok, starting ramble, so well, there's my question.
