I wonder how much money Sega payed CNET once they saw the 3.5 review of Sonic Unleashed for the 360

What other explanation there is?

If you read the reviews for both version you'd know the explanation. The two versions are pretty different.

Besides, if SEGA wanted to pay up Gamespot for a good score, don't you think they'd want more than a 7/10?

Not much explanation for a change this drastic in score.

But then people will get suspicious, don't you think?

Well I'm not sure how anyone could find flaws in that assessment. This might as well be confirmed.

I totally read about this on some guy's blog too, so it's practically confirmed.

Maybe a 7.0 was all SEGA could afford to pay for. Just kidding, I don't believe in reviewer bribery, (at least in this case). Probably the Wii version is, strangely enough, better than the competition.

that's a little too convenient. A little too pat of an explanation, quite frankly! Why is there such a difference in the scores? Both games have a blue hedgehog. Both games have a werehog. Identical!

Me neither. But Tom looks like the kind of guy that can be bossed around easily; I can easily see how CNET excecutive would have told him to give a certain review score, and he'd comply.
