PROTIP: every gaming review site is always in a state of conflict of interest. If they don't give a game good review -> no site ad revenue if sponsor pulls out -> no more advanced copies -> no more early reviews

Not true, go check 1up, they give very low scores to games being advertised there all the time (most recently Time Crisis).

 

Their sponsor still has all the power to remove their ads from 1UP, or worse they can deny 1UP reviewers advanced review copies of games. Unless 1UP can stay afloat without help from game sponsors or review copies, the conflict of interest would still be there.
