Edios accused of attempting to control Batman: Arkham Asylum review scores

Eidos has a history of shady practices in videogame journalism. We remember the whole Kane and Lynch fiasco over at GameSpot a while back and attempts to get sites to hold off on Tomb Raider: Underworld review scores that were under 80 until Eidos said it was alright to publish.

This overreaching on Eidos’ part has once again turned up according to The RAM Raider.

Eidos is allegedly only looking for the best review scores to be shown first for Batman: Arkham Asylum. As with most unreleased games, a review for Arkham Asylum is under embargo until a certain date but Eidos will supposedly let magazines publish reviews early if they agree to play ball.
