Well, I and those around me have bemoaned GameSpot reviews for a long time, among the state of other things. Well, it's come around in a sad way, yet strangely in comic form,

And according to
Penny-Arcade's Gabriel, "The comic is true. You should see the news breaking soon." "Jeff G. got canned. Tycho will talk about it more tomorrow. We have a couple sources inside that gave us the whole scoop. I'm not sure if the news sites even know yet." You may also have noticed that the video review of Kane & Lynch has been pulled. It's sad because this is a terrible thing to happen to someone, even if I think little of his reviews. It's hilarious, because GameSpot has hit rock-bottom. A fuller explanation of the rumour is seen on
Kotaku and explains that it was basically money from Eidos that shoved Jeff out the door. Welcome to the end of credibility, people. I may have disliked GameSpot's reviews before, but the weight of their words are worth less than the US Government's. Equally hilarious is that this comes in the wake of the
GG suspension fiasco in over criticising a GameSpot reviewer. Pretty hard to defend them now, people. EDIT: More staff gone.
