When Edios can't buy a review with advertizement money they make up there own... You know I have seen this in the past with Edios titles and I did not pay much mind until today. For years I would see a certain game publication mentioned in Edios ads, with things they said an go "humm I do not remember that magazine/.WEb site say that." or they would take a phrase from a preview and put a score. You know I used to think it was an advertizement mistake or something not I am not sure.

As you can see here Eidos has been giving 5 star rating to kane and lynch in there ads!!!! and putting big name game sites quotes wich are fake or from previews! This is very real I have seen this in paper print ads as well not just on kane and lynch but other game ads they have done this just reminded me of all the times I have seen this.
One of the 5 star reviews quotes is from a fav site of mine gamespy they did not give the game 5 stars it got 3 stars (AKA a 6.0 what Jeff said). You can go there and see it for your self. Edios making up reviews for there games just add more fire to the fact that they may have been doing something in this gamespot issue. http://xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/kane-lynch-dead-men/835256p1.html
The fact that Edios is staying silent gives even more reason to list them as part of this issue when there lies are right there in print if they are making up hype lies they what else have they done?
Convince some high management at cnet/gamespot that some workers should be fired?
Bribes? who knows.
How are they getting away with this? I am pretty sure there is some type of legal or publicationlaw somewhere that you can not make upstuff a publication did not say that is false advertizement
