I think they just thought to themselves "OH MY GOD WE AREN'T A REAL MAGAZINE" and thought giving review scores were a cheap way to grant themselves some kind of legitimacy as a review source.
Giving the review scores made them less of a legitimate magazine to me. The score is meaningless, as the game will be different for each person, and they will give it a different value, hence it is totally biased. Anyways why do people need someone else to tell them what is good, shouldn't they figure it out on their own? As Yahtzee said "Do you really need someone in authority giving you a simple yeay or nay before you buy anything? Why don't you roll over so they can stamp on the other side of your face"
