Thumbs down Gamespy/IGN slants GC reviews due to recent Nintendo partnership!

http://yukihime.com/?p=476

After a recent partnership with nintendo, Gamespy apparently doubled one of its reviewers scores of Donkey Konga 2 from 1.5 to 3.0, and added phrases the reviewer never even came up with. The reviewer complained and the review was pulled, but the damage to Gamespy's rep remains!

If you read the article, apparently they've been doing this for a variety of publishers, not just Nintendo.

I saw that, though it seems the only one they have proof of is with Nintendo.
