Which magazine scoring

And he's even on a Konami Peace Walker website. The connotations are fitting, and the irony is thick and heavy. Sure, Hamamura is a recognizable face for the industry in Japan, but his publication is reviewing this game — and giving the title its highest score! And if Famitsu is going to do stuff like this, surely it should offer a full disclosure. However, the game's review makes no mention of the in-game tie-ins, and no mention of Hamamura's prominence in the title's ad campaign.

Instead, there is a glowing review for Peace Walker, which is also the magazine's pick-of-the-week. Granted, there could very well be a disclosure of the still-unreleased-magazine, which goes on sale later this week; however, there is no mention in the review itself.

We're not saying that it didn't deserve the 40 out of 40 that Famitsu gave it. The game's designer, Hideo Kojima, has continually stressed how much effort and energy has gone into developing the title. All that effort and energy seems wasted on raised eyebrows over poor promotional and collaborative choices. Even if the game does appear to be fantastic, the review appears bought. It needlessly dirties up what could very well be a great game — a game that should stand alone on its own merit.
