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."
