GamePro highlights a tidbit from the lawsuit (story) filed by Kohnke Communications versus Perpetual Entertainment over breach of contract, fraudulent transfer, and fraud (thanks Mike Martinez). On the heels of accusations (which have been denied) that a GameSpot editor was fired over a lukewarm review (story) comes word in Kohnke's legal documents that one of the services the PR company provided Perpetual was to secure favorable reviews:

Kohnke's public relations campaign was successful in creating pre-release 'buzz' around Gods & Heroes, and in convincing reviewers to write positive reviews about the game."

It's not clear, however, what form this "convincing" took, perhaps it refers to efforts at influencing future coverage, as Gods & Heroes: Rome Rising was cancelled before the conclusion of beta testing (story) and was never formally reviewed.
