Seems gamespy got caught altering a reviewer's commentary to add usual gushing praise...

...the review has been taken down now, so how much of this was the writer just being precious over editors doing their job, and how much was sinister corporate shillery I don't really know.

The PA comic on the subject was rather good though, and is something you may be seeing linked almost as often as the money hat.....

Far be it from me to blame Gamespy, IGN, Gamespot, etc for taking the dollars/dinnerz for good reviews.

Bitches just happened to get caught this time. Sure does add an assload of credence to my pointing of fingers though.
