I don't get it.
Gamespot was outed as the most corrupt gaming review site a few months back when they were the only site to inexplicably give "Kane and Lynch" a rating over 7 (I think they gave it something ridiculous like an 8). People wondered why the only site that gave it a good review also happened to have advertisements for the game plastered all over their website. Needless to say, a bunch of people quit and the Gamespot reviews are something of a joke now.

A fairly legitimate point is often made that it is possible that gamespot isn't necessarily the most corrupt, but rather just make their bribes a lot more obvious then the other sites.
