Rumors on the Internet say that UK PR firm for Eidos has discussed with several British websites to postpone their Tomb Raider: Underworld reviews if the score is under 80. The reason is to keep a good score on Metacritic. The story has been revealed by a GameSpot editor reminding of the previous scandal involving Eidos and a GameSpot editor who lost his job because of a not so positive review regarding Kane & Lynch game: Dead Men. The PR firm declared:

"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."
