Why isn't anyone mentioning reviewer reputation?
If someone keeps giving shitty games high scores, sooner or later people are going to piss at that reviewer. Publications have their own editorial integrity and so do journalist, they have to uphold a reputation, otherwise there will be no readers!
This doesn't happen just in the gaming industry ffs. Companies try to do their best to sway opinion legally everywhere. If anything, Jeff Gerstmann was fired from gamespot for giving a sponsor's game an unflattering review (Kane and Lynch, but gamespot obviously admitted nothing).
