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 Br...

Is it easy to get Halo 3 and Killzone 2 mixed up? Well I'd think not, but apparently, someone wasn't doing their job (again) at the BBC when they checked the videos that they were going to show.

Getting Banned these days is becoming a bragging right, but I don't think you'd be doing much bragging over the loss of your XBOX Live Account, just complaining... then again the reason for being banned is very much justified.
