A lot of large websites and magazines make a lot of money from ads for new games. From my understanding some publishers are well known for refusing to advertise on websites or in magazines which publish negative reviews for their games. Often editors are pressured to change reviews of games is the publisher is advertising heavily on the site or in the magazine when the game is released. Beyond that many publishers will only give out exclusive interviews or invitations to showings of their game if the website or magazine is very friendly to their games.
In general there are certain publishers who get better reviews for their games than is appropriate mainly because of how big of asses they are ...
