That's the closest they come to controversy?

It would have been "controversial" if they had picked Halo over Orange Box, or given them both the award.

Also, last time, you have the example of Lair, which EGM ranked at exactly the average of overall reviews. This time, you're giving an example of Kane and Lynch, a game which is averaging 7.

(In fact, EGM gave K&L a slightly above average review...Stick it to the establishment)

So...The extent of their radical divergence from the pack seems to be that they give slightly off-average reviews of a couple of games, or....

Because from the view of someone without their lips all over EGM's junk, they look like a weathervane, blowing in the same direction as every other mag out there.

Should the goal be to be controversial or to give a fair unbiased review?

Confrontation. Good way to debate an issue.
