I've been unimpressed with Penny Arcade over their handling of ME3. I've actually been unimpressed with them over other things recently, too -- I think they're not critical enough of games. Speaking of which ... does anybody here read Ars Technica? Their main game reviewer, Ben Kuchera, left them to work for Penny Arcade a few months back, and I was suprised by how the tone of his reviews changed. He was suddenly much less critical and incisive, something I feel inclined to put down to editorial policies. Whether that's because Ars likes its game reviews to pull no punches or whether Penny Arcade prefers to play nice with the game companies is unclear, but I suspect the latter. PA really seems to be too much on the game companies' side for my tastes.
