I'd never rely on it anyway, it stinks of laziness

	Quote: However, it is the news that the CNET-owned site has exposed corruption amongst the games media that will most shock the industry - particularly in a market where the bonuses of developers and publishing execs are dependent on a positive Metascore.

That would be self defeating. If the reviewer wanted x in a game and did not get that it would get a lower rating. Though if they contacted the reviewer to find out what they thought was missing so they could put it in, to get the higher rating it eliminates the creativity that some new games can bring.
