Because i can tell it for sure? As i have a friend working as reviewer on an Italian megazine (who dare to assign insanely high votes to games not worth of it, as Dawn of War 2 or Empire Total War or Mafia 2) and he told me exactly that more often are publicitary advertisements? Because most of game-megazines receive contributes from publishers?
They can't biase hyped games too much, even if are piece of crap... They compensate with indie games or niche games, where they used to give bad votes, to give the impression of impartiality (the same magazine gives 60 out of 100 to Man of War, to make an example, but the fanbase is well established and that does not hurt sales ).
