Latest UK magazine shame: Juiced reviews for cash, US Most wanted

And so it continues. Shaun White at Acclaim has offered various amounts of cash to various publications (and/or their staff direct - £2,000 in some cases) for favourable reviews for Juiced.
I believe that two Magazines at Future, possibly (though Im not able to confirm this right now) both Official Xbox and PlayStation 2, will award Juiced a nine score. As to whether the game deserves this score or not is up for debate, though the fix is in on Juiced, not just at Future but across the board.
Im happy to go on record as saying that Mr White at Acclaim is one of the most regular (and successful) fixers of review scores. Although this is clearly a case of him being very good at his job earning high reviews for mediocre games his modus operandi endangers the publics faith in the press, publishers and casts a shadow on all our lives.

This is going to cause some major shit. Let's hope MCV and the like has the balls this time around to stamp it.
