Actually its been well known that IUP is one of the sites that do get paid off from time to time - just look at their 4/10 review for NHL 2K8 recently. Not that I dont agree that EA 08 is indeed better, but 4/10 for 2K8 is just ridiculous.
What I mean by paid off is, not nessecarily $ to rate the game so positively (because we all know Halo wasnt going to get a bad review anyways), but perhaps MS sending them extra incentives just to praise the game a bit higher than they normally would.
