The recent incident with Jeff Gerstmann and Eidos is sickening. It makes me wonder how many past GameSpot reviews have been tainted by shady corporate agreements.

I was sad when Giancarlo Varanini left and I was sad when Greg Kasavin left, but I never thought something like this would finally put the nail in your coffin.

Get your act together or your credibility will never be redeemable again.

This action nulls every review ever published on this site. Even SYSTEM WARS is starting to agree on this. And THAT'S huge.

Yeah, this site's credibility is now in question to me, big time. I've been dissapointed in the theory that the US government is in the same boat(corporations using money to sway the governing body/the reviewers of games), but now the main site I use for my game reviews is doing this, too?

Yes. This is true.

Gamespot needs to act quickly.

They are far beyond the point where ANY action can redeem what they did. It's only a matter of picking up the pieces and salvaging what they can.

Wow. Armaggedon is starting in the gaming industry. What's next, the best games sold are banned for "various" reasons? XD

Let this be a prime example of how not to run a supposed independent editorial medium.
