"Jeff's been overseeing GameSpot's reviews for over a decade, and publisher complaints (of which there have been many -- I would know, I worked there years ago) never affected policy.

October 27th, the guy who launched such fine publications as Stuff and Maxim takes over GameSpot.

You figure it out."

"Stuff and MAXIM" wow, just WOW, those people run GS now......no wonder they got rid of Jeff. WELCOME T MAXIMSPOT!!!!!!!!!

Not surprising, whenever there is a detoriation or an upgrade of standards or qualities at a company it usually means that there was some kind of change up top. It's the same thing with brick & mortar stores. Just the other day I went to the movie theatre I always go to, the lobby was dirty, the bathroom was disgusting, the line was longer then usual, and the customer service at both the ticket counter and snack stand was horrible. I asked someone if there was a new manager and voila, yes there was.

I don't understand. YOU act as if because they are popular and people like them, they must have a high IQ...or something.

Sorry, but Maxim and Stuff are total and complete garbage, and yes...of low IQ. They do all their reviews without every listening to the CD, playing the game, or watching the movie. It is all done based on "cool" factor, hype, or pandering to the lowest common denomenator.
