GameSpot Editor Fired Because Negative Review?
Posted by Regeneration on November 30th, 2007, 05:32 PM

Both Kotaku and Shacknews have reported via unnamed sources that Eidos threatened to pull the ad contract for Kane and Lynch off GameSpot because of Gerstmann's review of the game where he gave it a score of 6 out of 10. Gerstmann's written review is still posted at Gamespot but his video review of the game has apparently been pulled from the site. Shacknews got confirmation via their own sources that Gerstmann was indeed fired yesterday from his position at GameSpot.

well seriously when the shoe fits, just checked and the pc version is unrated but the xbox and ps reviews still read 6, 418 users of the pc version scored it a 5.7, 336 users on xbox scored it a 3.2 and 430 users on the ps3 scored it a 4.0 so really he was being generous

maybe they should just accept that their game sucks and try to make a better one instead of trying to buy reviews, what a childish move

Seriously on this though the guy gave his honest opinion on the the rating so grow up and deal with it. If we were all the same person life would be pretty boring wouldn't it ?

We all have our views and opinions and because of pier pressure this editor is gone. I will tell you right now if Chaos or I or anyone else does a review for NGOHQ.com we give our honest results and feedback. If we give something a rating Rege will support us on that. If some company comes whining because they didn't get a good rating on a review here I think the bossman (Rege) will say STFU and deal with it .. we don't have any staff members or reviewers named Kyle here

like i said on the other site, 1184 people across 3 platforms gave it an avrage rating of 4.3, he was being very generous giving it a 6, cant make a bad game good by telling people that its good.
