Videogaming247 reports that Eidos UK's PR firm has been asking British websites to hold off posting their Tomb Raider: Underworld reviews until Monday if they are giving the game lower than an 80 score, admitting this is an effort at maintaining a good Metacritic score "to ensure that we don’t put people off buying the game, basically." The story broke thanks to a Twitter post by a reviewer at GameSpot UK, which brings to mind the scandal dubbed Gerstmann-gate, that involved GameSpot, Eidos, and a respected journalist who lost his job after a lukewarm review for Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. VG247 also has a lengthy follow-up statement from the PR firm that stresses they have no problem with negative reviews, and states that reports of "problems" with Eurogamer's review of the game were related to accuracy, and not the game's final score, concluding with this: "Barrington Harvey has been working hard to ensure the launch scores of Tomb Raider Underworld are in line with our internal review predictions over the launch weekend - but to suggest that we can in some way 'silence' reviews of the game is slightly overstating our influence."
