Default Re: GamePro Review Score Bribery Scandal

Unfortunately when I saw the source it did not surprise me. Long ago (and an eternity in web time) I worked with them (except for about three people I don't recognize any of the names anymore) and even back then words like "quality control", "fact checking", and "editorial duty" were completely absent. Heck, I remember one article I had to write because the original writer spent the entire piece badmouthing Microsoft. Yep, nothing about the game in the article, just a screed against Microsoft and then it was actually put up and you know what happened? Someone from Microsoft got a little ticked that instead of an actual article dealing with their game it was a slam against the company. Go figure.
