Could Microsoft be bribing reviews to get higher ratings? It could very well be the case. With reviewers receiving $800 worth of "free stuff" from Microsoft, Dean Takahashi has considering it to be nothing more than a bribe. Could this be the reason for the insanely high scores for XBOX360's Halo 3? Well, even without the bribe, I still expect it to be getting around 8/9, but anything higher, and maybe the bribe worked as Microsoft had planned.
But with people such as Dean Takahashi and Brain Lam saying bye to the Free Stuff and looking at the game for purely the content, then we may still get some unbiased Reviews.
I've read about this before and it's bunk. And even if it isn't, the logic is still idiotic. "dur MS gave me a bunch of t-shirts and figures. Looks like I've got to give the game a 10 now."
