Do to recent events, I have decided to cancle my TA subscription here on Gamespot.

Go to www.giantbomb.com , The REAL Gamespot! Runned by Ryan Davis and Jeff Gertsman.

Long time GS editor and On the Spot host Jeff Gertsman was fired because of his video review for Kane & Lynch.

Some rumors are going around that Eidos was not too happy with Jeff's tone in the review and believe that he was out of line with some of the things he said.

With Eidos have a lot of advertising dollars going into the Gamespot site right now (look everywhere, K&L banners are everywhere on this site), it is becoming apparent that Eidos had some influence over Jeff termination. Not only this, but now some are speculating that it goes even deeper than that.

People are starting to accuse Cnet/Gamespot for having game publishers and advertisers influence their reviews. That is pretty serious. If this turns out to be the case, CNET and Gamespot will lose every ounce of credibility and the possibility of account cancellations.

I for one, will be leaving this site if this is to be the case.

*UPDATE*

Here is the main dicussion board about this matter: http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26072117&page=59

BTW, this is pretty serious now since we even have MODS flaming and ranting in that thread. Anarchy has taken over.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like Halo2_Norad.
Halo2_Norad must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could Halo2_Norad possibly have for not rating a single film?
