Default [escapist] Ubisoft Accused of Demanding Good Assassin's Creed 2 Review
Quote:
A German gaming magazine says Ubisoft demanded it give Assassins Creed 2 top marks or their review copy would be kaput.

According the German gaming publication Computer Bild Spiele, Ubisoft would only release an early review copy of Assassins Creed 2 if the magazine agreed to give the game its highest grade, "sehr gut" or "very good" in German. The magazine refused and audaciously decided to tell their customers about it as you can see in this poorly translated editor's note. Computer Bild Spiele plans to review the game only after it has been officially released.

lol ubisoft got busted. This is why I take any reviews by large sources with a liter of salt.

No they don't. I write reviews for computer hardware which companies provide and sometimes even let me keep after I review. Never have I once been asked to give it a good review.

Yes, your experience with computer hardware reviews is definitely a good example to provide in a case of false game reviews.

This would explain the good Far Cry 2 reviews.

Letting people keep the hardware is common. Why does integrity mean sending a pre-paid return shipping box?
