GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Nov 30, 2007

For those not in the know it's flying around the internet right now that Jeff the Editor here at Gamespot got the sack becuase he wrote a bad review on Kane and Lynch one of the sites major sponsers at the moment.

Even Penny Aracde the Famous gaming comic has gone a strip today of the incident. Frankly if it's true then I bet the backlash will be large and harsh. But I ask this. Are you lashing out becuase you agree with Jeff or becuase you don't want to see reviews bought and paid for by large companies.

Hell both are damn good reasons to protest. Screw paying for reviews. Jeff is and continues to be a damn good reviewer who doesn't wait to really speak his mind although I can see now why some games got a higher score under him then the reading of the review puts the game.

Screw anyone who takes a bribe to put good press out the door.

As my own personal protest I've pretended to give a fart about Kane and Lynch and have written a very very very bad review. Please feel free to do as you all wish on your own. This whole situation is a bull's fart to put it half nicely.

This whole ordeal has made me very confused. How do I know if any reviews are real anymore?

^ Play them yourself. If you've got a 360 or PS3, play demos.

he's right. that and rentals are a good way to figure it out. Though not as much anymore since they jacked up the prices on everything.
