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

I find it utterly absurd how they fired him over a stupid review. I really do not know all the details, but if it is infact because of a simple review, that's just disgusting. As in a previous blog, I told you, I only trust a couple of reviewers. Them being Jeff and, Alex, however, now it's just Alex. I'll come to the site to check up on things, but this whole gamespot community stuff is over for me, sorry. You let a quality reviewer go gamespot. That's like the WWE telling HHH to leave. The funny thing is, didn't that game suck anyways? Why would they even make such an abysmal game. If you ask me, Jeff should've left because they gave him that nasty game to play. I liked Jeff because he always told a game for what it's worth. Weather it being Bioshock, or Zelda. He never over sold a game, just because everyone else did. Hey, sure, maybe Tony Hawk, but, that was for it's time. (that game was indeed fantastic). Just because Kane and Lynch is a bad game, that's not Jeffs fault. Oh well, this isn't Jeff at lost, but indeed Gamespot. Thanks Jeff for everything you've done, but this tainted website is no more for me in an interactive way. Man... and I was about to start posting videos of me and my bro at the arcade playing DDR/In the Groove. Oh well. But I did have fun here, a lot of fun actually. Everyone here was great to me, and they're all great. I never thought my profile would get so many views. I thought it would have stayed in the double digit numbers. Thanks guys. If you wanna Keep in touch, my PSN is Zift, and my gamertag is Shazalia (don't know when i'll get a new live subscription though). Or, add me on MSN, Edge_head86@ hotmail.com, farewell.

However, you can expect ONE last short blog when Metal Gear Solid 4 comes out. I need to say that the best game in the world is finally here. When MGS4 comes out, expect one, last, short blog, see ya.

Well, make sure to keep me on your PS3's friends list. I know how you feel though. I'll probably be joining you in a bit as well. Anyway, take care!

Jeff leaving wouldn't be enough for me to stop visiting Gamespot but the manner in which he was dispatched is. Perhaps there were other reasons for his departure but I do believe his Kane & Lynch review was at least part of it. Especially considering the timing, the disappearance of Jeff's video review for the game and the post-release editing of his written review.

I've been using and contributing to the site for 3 years and I'm not sure where (if anywhere) I'll move my online game antics to. I only know that it won't be here. I'll be adding you to PSN and XBL (when I get a 360). In the meantime have fun!

It's understandable. when a gamer comes to this site it's for games info first. When the management starts to penalize people for having opinions, you con no longer trust some of the reviews.

Sorry to hear you'll be leaving but I guess I understand since the GS community has been going downhill lately. (I use TV.com mostly so I don't care as much) Well it was nice knowing you and good luck with everything.

It's cool, good luck to ya. Since I never listened to reviews, I will not be leaving just because they fired Jeff, even though it's absurd that they did.

Posted Nov 30, 2007 5:01 pm PT

Aww no, don't leave.
Do you do myspace or facebook?

kylea, I look forward to it, thanks. Telvi, lol, sorry, only msn. Hells gate, it's not so much that he's gone, it's how he went. Plus, I really liked Jeff, gamespot will feel weird without him. But it sucks because everyone that's tacking me, and all my friends are so great, that's why it's sad.

I think it's petty. I mean, you weren't paying for your subscription, right? You've lost nothing, man. Professional reviewers are paid to give an opinion; a lot of them take their position for granted, which means that reviews and scores should be taken with a grain of salt. I would stick around and see what Gamespot does to try and redeem itself.

What was wrong with the review was it the cursing?
Posted Dec 3, 2007 8:30 am PT
It was the "negative tone". I hope Gerstmann sues for wrongful dismissal.
