Where have you been, under a rock?

Jeff Gertmanns, a 10 year long employee of GS, gave Kane and Lynch a 6 out of 10.

Eidos was paying huge $ in advertising for Kane and Lynch on Gamespot. The new advertising lead guy has been trying to have more influence in the edtioral nature of Gamespot.

So basically he was fired because he a low score whenever the publisher was paying big bucks to advertise the game.

I did a terrible job summarizing it. Check Kotaku, N4G, etc.

 If it is true and an advertsier paid for a batter evie then it become a worthless site for reviews.

Although I suspect it has been going on for years in magazines,  on the internet and with shop product placement.

I vowed long time ago to never go on Gamespot so that not a problem and i visit CNET now and then but not anymore.

I havent logged into my gamespot account for like 2 years and have no plans to.

Thanks guys. If you can, spread the word to other sites. If any of you are members of NeoGAF, that would really help.

Never use my gamespot account anyways...

One of the reason being, the mods there really suck.

That's why i never go by reviews. The guy should have paid attention to what the higher ups had told him. Yea it's wrong but at least the guy would still have a job. This is most likely a common practice in the industry.

 Sometimes you have to stand up for what you believe is right no matter what the consequences may be,

If the guy knew his employers were being paid to write a biased review then his actions should be applauded and as many people as possible should do what tehy can to show they will not put up with it.

If people remain complacent and never do anything when they find out companies are being less than honest; especially when ultimately it is at our expense, all big companies will continue to rip us off and do as they please

I've been boycotting them for over a year and a half now haha.
