Considering the sheer volume of dialog they'll have to write and record for a game like this, I don't think it's a realistic expectation for all of it to turn out completely right. I didn't notice anything 'painful' about it at all. It's all a bit tongue-in-cheek, admittedly, but once you get past that it seems like typically high-quality BioWare writing.
And yeah, why the hell is Game Informer always the magazine that gets exclusives for everything. I remember they broke the announcement of Borderlands and the official announcement of Brutal Legend (which of course was leaked much much earlier) as well.
And for the record, Game Informer gave Heavenly Sword a 8.75 and Lair a 7.25. Admittedly I haven't played either, but the general consensus seems to be significantly less enthusiastic, especially for the latter game.
KvP:
I just assume they have the cash to work out deals. GI's also got a 2-week or thereabouts exclusivity deal for anything Fallout 3 related.

I'd say none of the dialogue I heard was painful, but it is very 80's action Sci-Fi levels of funny. I'm a big fan of anything that successfully captures the feel for 80's Action dialog and manages to put it into a epic story as well. All we need is Arnold Schwarzenegger to make a voice cameo while fighting a hideous alien beast.
MusicScribbles:
Well, a lot of the voice actors are pretty awesome. Did anyone watch the footage of the beginning of the game on youtube? The pilot is Seth Green.
KvP:
Well, it was bound to happen at some point. Bioware has revealed their, uh, sapphic love scene. Minus the nipples that are apparently making it in.
Kudos to them for cutting out the DeviantArt middle man, I guess.
