    I just requested an expedited review ..might be releasing on the 22nd now!

    If you requested an expedited review, then the game might be out on the 18th or 19th. But releasing a game is not a valid reason for requesting an expedited review (in Apple's opinion) so it'll be interesting to see wether it works or not.

    Wait until the game is released to give it to the news sites. You want to make sure the app is available when your potential buyers learn about it on the news site.
