Some 'horror' stories I've witnessed over the last couple years:
A game having a review wrote by someone who watched two 3 minutes videos about it, and nothing more.
A game getting a 9/10 score by someone who played a demo of the game for 10 minutes.
A high profile game having the negative review comments deleted before just adding a 25 onto the score, giving it 95/100.
Reviews wrote based entirely on competitors reviews, and just re-worded.
Reviews wrote based on verbal second hand info (someone just told them about how a game plays and wrote it based on that, no vids, no actual playing).
A reviewer knocking points off a game because "I had to actually go to a store and pay for it". Not mentioned in the actual review of course.
Reviews wrote for games based on playing the previous game in the series, reviewer actually played the wrong game and wrote based on that, then invented a few comments about the new features based on a competitors review he read.
Yeah so, reviews...mean loads...

The problem is that they have "quota" to push out. Too many games, too little time.
