10/10 from playstation lifestyle. WTF

http://www.metacritic.com/publication/playstation-lifestyle?filter=games

There is no hope that a reviewer gave a game a perfect score that someone else gave a 50%, it just isn't a believeable gap especially when it was the first review for the game out. There was some $$ action going on there I would have to think.

I just can't understand why they would give a game a 10 though.  I mean they had to realize the game is a 7/10 at best, and have to had known that giving it a 10/10 when everyone else is in the 70's that it would make your site lose credability.

At least give it only like a 9/10 or 92 or something depending on how you rank.  You'll still get on the ubisoft commercial as rating it 9/10 cause no one else is going to be that generious, yet you won't look as purchased as 10/10

Aye basic ability to lie should tell them that that is going to be obviously untrue... if I was asked how much I could lift and I said 5-10lbs over what I could it would be in the realms of reality but this is someone putting a photoshopped pic of themselves on facebook holding up 3 trains and the moon...

There is 1 thing that it could be.... and it takes a lot of trust here, but perhaps the 100% is a troll at the game, maybe ubisoft approached them with a "every extra % gives you an extra % of cash from us type incentive, then rather than bumping up the score by a few % to cash in on the deal and try to avoid making it obvious they went full crazy and gave it 100% clearly showing people that it is bought off and that this kinda thing goes on all the time, at the same time cleaning up as much money as possible from Ubisoft for having offered the underhanded scheme to begin with... since clearly the value of a 60% game having 1 100% review is absolutely 0 (other than something to slap on the GOTY edition I guess) But for that to happen then Playstation lifestyle would need to be pretty intelligent and I'm doubting that is the case.
