Plus maybe this would be a positive for a review? "Oh I got my meal for free" - they might be nice, I will go there too, says the reader. Though maybe not the intention if you want to write a bad review :P

yeah. i agree with you on a smaller note it seems that gaming companies are starting to write their own reviews for their own games because they can't stand to have one bad review on their games. maybe that's the reason why most magazines and sites are getting freebies. to get good reviews.
