For the big player developers, and reviewers like gamespot as far as i knew the devs pay the reviewers to give them high scores, i.e. developer gives a website/magazine an early scoop on the game on the terms that they wont score it less than x/10.

There was some fisaco at gamespot not long back because a guy working there refused to give kane & lynch more than 6/10, obviously some agreement had been signed before hand so the guy was fired.
