As for condemned and BFME2 it is stupid but devs didn't really have the full work flow down pat yet, and so those I'm never too annoyed by.
I heard Condemned was going to use the clause: "If a game does not ship with 1000 points on disk, a free DLC can bring the score to 1000." They wanted a DLC but didn't want to have to charge for it.
I would also like to mention that the rules for gamerscore in games have changed much since launch, mostly because of the success of the achievements and DLC.
