Stuff like this happens all the time, it happened with Assasins creed 1 aswell, or not so long ago with Eidos and batman and I thought with rockstar aswell.

Batman? I know Eidos was guilty of that for the latest Tomb Raider, but i don't remember them being accused of that for Arkham Asylum.

I believe there was a theory with people that Eidos only allowed reviewers to post early reviews if they gave it a 9+.  This came up after the first review gave it a 9+.   The theory died once people found out the game was actually awesome, and personally I think it stemmed more from people's expectations of the game not being worth a 9+ than any actual evidence of trickery.
