There have been several articles over the last year and a half revealing that many reviews are rigged.
They are part of a contract and indeed money is paid for favorable ratings. Did you ever wonder how in heaven a game can already ship with review scores on its box on day 1 release?
It's best to just go by the opinion of a group of people whom you know have similar gaming interests. That's a much more reliable 'review' than the ones presented by gamespot and their fellow thugs.
