This whole "game companies are in charge of the review system" is getting ridiculous. Just recently, MS won't be letting reviews for Kinect and its games surface until sometime after it launches. And now (if this is proven to be true), Bethesda doesn't want negative reviews to go out because some reviewers are turned off by the myriad of bugs and glitches. Why not just fix the bugs? I kind of miss the older days of console gaming where developers had to make damn sure there weren't any game killing bugs or their product would flop. Now, they started to get lazy, like some game developers on PC, and just rely on an endless stream of updates and fixes. Granted, I realize that catching ALL bugs is next to impossible, but some have started to shove their products out before it's fully tested.
The real point, however, is that no gaming developer/publisher should have a say in how a review is conducted or posted. If you think your product is worthy of us purchasing, then put up or shut up.
