You've probably heard about the Jeff Gerrstman controversy.
Seriously.
Who does he think he is? Voicing his objective opinion!?
Especially when the game was advertised on GS!
Doesn't he know not to flop games that got advertised as much as Kane and Lynch?
No seriously though, this sucks pretty hard. Especially for him but also really bad for Gamespot obviously.
On a side note though, I got Assassin's Creed, and its freakin' awesome.
Edit:
Upon realizing that this is not just a rumor, and apparently the truth, this is outrageous. There better be a better reason to this than him scoring a game lower than the developer/publisher would have liked. Sure Jeff has made some controversial reviews, but for the most part I agree with him, even the Twilight Princess review I moreorless agreed with, but thats not the point. Gamespot really needs to adress this problem quickly, otherwise they can expect their site activity to slowly decrease (or quickly, either seems likely).
But the fact is that one of Gamespots most familiar faces (and one of its best editors) has been fired over him voicing his opinion on Kane and Lynch, of all games.
Now when Kevin VanOrd becomes editorial director...
I called it.
Oh and on another side note, I've nearly finished Assassin's Creed, and its still awesome, but damn does the combat get annoying.
