I've got to agree with Erik here, gaming "journalism" is in a horrible state. Some of the people I've talked to at moderately-sized free gaming sites have commented on it. Both bribes and threats are common.
It's a similar situation for auto journalism. Give a bad review, and you won't be invited for another all-expenses paid vacation to Europe for more test drives. When big, negative news is broken, it's in the financial pages, not the auto section.
