Guerilla Marketing Tactics?

Some people working for a company that works for ATARI have infiltrated the gamesradar forums (where the DRIV3R scandal originated from) to praise the game like there's no tomorrow. Their IPs revealed them though.

Made me wondering do we have any professional (paid) fanbois here as well? :?

By the way, i thought i would be on topic, Driver3 is by far the biggest disappointment this generation. Pathetic, Atari are the new EA-when-they're-bad for me now.

hmm... well you know it's bad when.... you have to pay people to be fanbois

maybe the thread title should be called "Gorilla marketing tactics" instead Not to imply that gorillas are.... dumb/stupid/desperate or one of those or more

Funny thing is, when i first read the title, i was already writing a long post on why i didnt understand what Atari had anything to do with Killzone and its makers, Guerilla..... Then it came to me.......

yeah I thought KZ at first too, but then the "tactics" bit tipped me off

Me too... , no one dare say anything about KZ...

So, it turns out that some people are actually being paid to be incredibly biased! Well, that´s an easy job.

I wonder how much lazy8s is getting from Sega?

What is wrong in that?? They are doing their job, *why previews and reviews differ so much*??
