F... Gamespot. Period. I knew there was something fishy, it was long in the works and in my scope.

Oh well at least it's still a good source for game videos and trailers.

On one hand I'm glad people are taking action and giving the finger to CNET, on the other hand I worry about what's going to happen to the Gamespot reviewers and staff.

I think every rating they gave out to all video games should eather be redone or taken away. Now we know that is was all shit they said!



Mummelmann on 02 December 2007

They have had some pretty strange reveiws and "comparisons" on Gamespot, and I find it troubling that they're owned by CNET tbh.

if they really did get paid to review it higher then im glad there going down

Gerstmann gets canned for a review an advertiser didn't like. No, not just canned -- SHITcanned, as one tipster said. Locked office and everything.

For me this incident is the definition of "ends don't justify means".

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
