That was 1UP, not EGM, firstly. Different teams.
Secondly, that is the only game I've ever seen them review without bias. Go through and read EGM's reviews. Over the years, they've persistently reviewed a much lower percentage of Nintendo console titles than the competition, and they've persistently been overtly negative. I'd regularly read reviews on two titles - one on a Nintendo console, the other a similar title on a rival system - and they would complain about an aspect in the Nintendo game while ignoring the same thing in the other game.
This isn't me being a fanboy. This isn't me making up stuff. Pick up a freaking copy of EGM and see for yourself. It's there. Period.
