The magazines point is to make money, if that gets them the most money, and people still think its credible than what they did was the correct thing to do. Maybe he agreed to hold it because he thought the game was damn good who knows?
Because one can still hold the metal gear solid PSP in a picture and review it, just the same as another reviewer without having to inflate the score. Its the same as game advertising only this time hes actually in the picture.
Also, if the review justifies the 10 and it makes sense, there is nothing wrong with it, (I assume you can't read japanese so you can't vouch for anything than the number maybe I'm wrong).
If theres a lot of people like you and think the review was bought then the magazine will go down the toilets, if people buy the game and read the review and feel it was justified, it was just advertising where the magazine guy endorsed a good game.
