Take the money and give a review befitting the game. If it sucks, then they probably deserved to lose that money anyway for not trying hard enough.

ye I would, I don't see it as immoral since they would lose buyers in their next game anyway.
but it would depend on how much they would give me, if it was under 200 then definitely reject it unless I get a better offer

It would really depend on the amount of money offered and the overall crappyness of the game... The worse the game is, the more money I'd need...
Not a chance in hell would I ever take a bribe after all the trouble I got in the last time I did it. I don't want to go a lot into it, but my teachers said that I was lucky I had been caught doing it at a young age rather than if I was older and could get in more trouble. (And no, it wasn't because I sucked at keeping secrets, but because the other guy involved was.)
So basically, NO.

Are you serious? £400? For me to even consider it it would have to be more like £4000, probably five figures for me to be seriously tempted.credop said:Say you are a reviewer for a fairly decent magazine, and a company were to come up to you and offer you some money to lie and say one of their recent games is good. Would you do it?
No, i'm not waiting to hear responses such as 'I'm a perfect little saint, I would never do that, it's against what gamers stand for.' because you sound like a retard. Nor do i want answers like 'Hell yeah, I'm secretly the devil and sacrifice goats in my room.' because you also sound like a retard. Putting it into all aspects of honesty and truth, would you do it?
Remember this is for an imaginary decent magazine, not for a person who rants on their own in the dark..
EDIT: Apologies for sounding extremely attacking
EDIT AGAIN: Well okay, you're all asking for how much cash, I'm british so it shall be in British Sterling.
around £400?
Id take the money and give a shitty review anyway, mainly just to kick those blimey scheming assholes in the balls
Well I would not only not take the bribe, but I would get evidence of the briber. yes I'm a boyscout In that way.
I'd could see myself being bribed. With highly anticipated games (i.e. a CoD game, the next Starcraft) I'd take it because most people are getting it no matter what the review says. With games from smaller companies I'd take the bribe because a positive review could get them more sales.
The only time I'd refuse the money is if the games is just really, really bad. In that case though I'd make an effort to return the money.

No, I wouldn't take a bribe. I don't care how much it was. You can call me naive or stupid for saying that, I don't care. That is what I would do. I have standards. Fuck whoever's offering the bribe. Hopefully I could get a record of them offering me it and get that out in the public eye.
