I've noticed a game called Spelltris, it had 14 reviews, all were 5-stars. http://picasaweb.google.com/newreality2009/SuspiciousAppStoreReviews#5375986282813122194 Surprised at '5-star only ratings' I started browsing through reviewers' names and found out that they reviewed games from that particular company only (Digital Chocolate). http://picasaweb.google.com/newreality2009/SuspiciousAppStoreReviews# Some reviewers look especially strange writing the same text such as 'GOOD 5/5' to every game of that company. http://picasaweb.google.com/newreality2009/SuspiciousAppStoreReviews#5375986844976612674 Some more strange-looking screenshots from this game ratings can be found here http://picasaweb.google.com/newreality2009/SuspiciousAppStoreReviews# Is it a pure coincidence? For me it is hard to believe so. Does it look suspicious to you?
Yeah none of these surprise me. I've seen em countless times. Does make me wonder if it is them, or just really f*cking moronic people. I mean come on, if a company like Digital Chocolate (despite how much I think thier games blow) were to be shilling, don't you think they would make it A LITTLE less obvious? hahaha
There are shameless shills, and there are people who just played their first game and discovered the wonderful world of gaming, so their standards are really low and they feel they must shout with joy "Good game! Very addicting!" Some of those reviews are from supportive friends of the dev probably.
