There is bias in reviews. There has always been bias in reviews.
There is external pressure in reviews on occassion. And this is also not new (e.g., Hurst newspapers forbade the review of Citizen Kane).
A lot of reviewers have their likes and not likes. That's why certain types of games get better scores than others.
Also, some reviewers are just weird. While I don't pretend to know this person's work, I know that his legacy (Zelda 8.8, Tony Hawk 10.0) leaves much to be desired.
That being said, the look of the firing circumstances -- even if it was not true -- make Gamespot/C-Net appear to be "penny wise, pound foolish."

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
