Sounds to me like Bungie and Activision/ Blizzard didn't give Gamespot advertising revenue. Oh, didn't you know that game companies who don't or do pay the websites for advertising are treated differently? http://kotaku.com/5893785/yes-a-games-writer-was-fired-over-review-scores That was for Kayne and Lynch, probably a game most people didn't play. Final thought: Stop listening to reviews from people on independent websites who get most of their funding on advertising from... Game publishers!
