The entire section is "Sponsored by Sony", not this review. As you yourself noted, you can even get to it without the ad. The fact that a company like Sony sponsors a magazine's game (and movie) review section may be despicable, but is nothing new.

Now, I agree that the guy's an ass. I'd even go as far as saying that the fact the magazine gets money from Sony, leads to this kind of stuff happening (and I have the same experience with one of my Sony owned cable channels and their game and movie reviews, all riddled with PS ads and such).

But claiming that Sony is paying the guy directly to spew his trash, that's going too far, sorry.

 

Oh I agree on the last part, don't get me wrong. But this guy definitely had his sponsors in mind when writing this article. The change-over to the other part of the site didn't actually happen until people started bombarding the comment section pointing out that it was sponsored by Sony. That review with that bit of information doesn't even show up on google anymore, whereas last night it was the *only* version of the article.  That is pretty telling that it was intentional, because I can't think of an example where a site shuffles around articles to other sections and removes the sponsor tag.

Again, I'm not conspiracy theorist, but when you put all of this information together, and read the article, I fail to see how one could come to any other conclusion, and thus far the detractors have not provided a counter argument. 

For the record, no I am not a Nintendo fanboy. I own a PC (my main machine), a X360 (my main gaming console, and a Wii (my social machine).  I don't think it's asking too much for people to be fair and objective when weighing the evidence.
