What people are ignoring it seems is that the article makes it clear that this is about a rotten *minority* composed of small to midrange sites that need traffic. But nope, there will be people who will take the "evidence" from this article and use it whenever a reviewer hurts their feelings. Wonderful.

You are burrying your head in the sand and pretending the situation is all paranoia except for "Isolated cases"

If you think major sites don't stoop to such tactics to remain relevant, you're being way too nieve.

Even if it was not happening, what credibility has one guy/girl on something that might be viewed diferently by millions. Unless I identify 100% with one reviewer what ever they feel on a game wont be the same I feel on it, for better or worse. A review should be done by a group of at least 3 people with diferent taste in games so games get more fair scores then someone who loves COD reviewing the next COD, or polygon who hates nintendo reviewing anithing made by nintendo.
