Where's the evidence for this claim? I don't want to just delete the entire section below it, but this needs some sort of evidence beyond "we know the truth".

"But those of us who know the truth know that Gerstmann was fired for giving Kane & Lynch the same general score everyone else was giving because game companies always buy the reviews. IO and Eidos payed for a nice, lukewarm 6.9, but Gerstmann didn't deliver because he had too much journalistic integity!"

It's called sarcasm.

Not really. Sarcasm that oblique shouldn't be an example. I doubt you're the first one to be confused by it.

Yeah, although I could tell it was a joke, it's still really dumb, unfunny and out-of-place Natter even as a joke.

Can someone clear up the Doctor Who entry and state the actual name of the reviled story and the actual "average score"?

Deleting this from one of the examples:

This is helped along by Famitsu ALWAYS scoring a adverts-important game (e.g. Final Fantasy) at LEAST 37/40, no matter how bad it really is.

Where was the evidence backing this claim? The only evidence I can remember was someone posting on some forum claiming that they met some Famitsu editors.

Someone is sneeking in some Square Enix hate here. EeveeLord deleted the folowing:

A not-insignificant number of those perfect reviews being of lackluster Square Enix sequels.

Deleted, esp. in light of fact that last perfect by Famitsu was The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword.
