I just kinda see them as ads. Now if theyre semt a free key to play the game and talk about it, ill give that a pass.

But paid to play and talk nice? Ehhhhh maybe if the reviewer is known for being hard on games and doesnt pull any punches but i take all reviews with a large pinch of salt anyways.
