If you didn't submit pre-release screenshots to sites and post "preview" threads on game forums then you missed some opportunities. Most sites want to review games coming out in the next few weeks, not games that came out in the past.
They also like exclusive content; they're not interested in posting a rehash of your web site. I was actually chided by a UK web site for posting my screen shots on a web forum before sending to them.
You also want some "buzz" going before the game is released. "Ravensword" had lots of buzz based on early screen shots and had many people "waiting in line" to buy it at release. "Eliminate" got lots of press for being one of the first 3D shooters. This is easy for some games due to theme, timeliness, originality, lack of competition, etc; harder for other games that lack these traits.
