it's like playing hitman in a more action oriented style. it's is a bit simple and hard, but in co-op it's ok!

This is why I only trust reviews by random people. There's too many review sites motivated by hype and money.

Although Gamespot may have lost money, it was a mistake to fire him. I think if game companies want to sell product they need to make quality games. Gamespot just lowered it's reputation by doing this. The video review seemed accurate from what I have read of the game and Jeff Gerstmann seemed to hit the nail on the head. Just like Mr. Gerstmann said, the characters are unlikable. Since I seen stuff about Kane and Lynch, it seems like a boring unlikable game. Jeff Gerstmann also had some good things to say about the game such as the muliplayer double crossing mechanics.
If you guys haven't already, check out his video review. What do you guys think?

All he does is bash it like trash, says one good thing and continues on. And the way he does is unacceptable in the gaming world. if its bad ok just say whats bad and back up your thing not the way he just did.

how lame, im so not buying Kane and Lynch now, screw you Edios. If you guys cant take a bad review, then dont make bad games!!! Dont shoot the messenger, you twits. I lost alot of respect for Gamespot if they did fire Jeff, cause he just reviewed a game the way it should be reviewed. Truthfully.
If youre getting pressured by a shaty game developer over the review. Ignore them, their one developer out of hundereds. You will get endorsed again, and get more money, which is apparently what you care about, not truthful reviews. If they threatened you, ruin them, no your good employees, i believe there must be some legal action to be taken upon things like this.
But idk, do what ever, if you want to ruin your fanbase, GOOD JOB!! YOU DID!!! (for both of you) either way, Eidos sucks, and Gamespot is becoming suckage.

Jeff Gerstmann was my favourite reviewer on GameSpot, he always managed to give the best most honest reviews and didnt have any bias.
gamespot is stupid for firing him.

I believe Arstechinca made a good point about this recently ...conflict of interest between game review site and advertisements. I too prefer user reviews as a point of reference....but definitely not Arstechinca, IGN, GT, 1UP, or IGN and the likes.... I wish Usenet was back again....

there used to be things like freedom of speech.
Blackmailing seems to be legal these days...
I will NEVER EVER in life visit that disgusting site again!

Freedom of Speech has nothing to do with your employer, only the government.
You most certainly can be fired for saying the wrong thing on the job.

That's not to say I disagree. It is pretty disgusting.

I mean come on they made they're name/fortune off of a lame game that sucked(Tomb Raider).
They only sold a zillion copies because they gave the games heroine a huge chest.
In the end firing a reviewer, based upon him DOING his job by honestly critiquing a game, is horrible.
I don't use gamespot for my gaming info anyways, as they have always been biased by the highest bidder.

I'm never going to gamespot again...They suck so horribly for doing that, I don't know what to say. I already didn't like them for their biased reviews, and i suspected them of fanboyism towards the 360, but they just made a lot of people angry...

Re: What common sense is really about - 2007-12-02 |

I agree all the multiplatform games that are on the top 10 list always has Xbox 360 on top of the list. Just look at Assassins Creed. Why can't they just write Assassins Creed PS3/XBOX 360 instead? They had the same score!
Also when i want to read a review of a multiplatform game, it always redirects to the Xbox 360 review! Why not just have a section called "Choose platform"?

the games aim system is'nt the greatest in the world which spoiled the game a bit!! but to sack someone for being honest in his opinion, which is what he is susposedly paid to do, is shocking!!

he said something that he should, probably Vulgar, and got paid for it, his job!
Now Gamespot and IGN has been biased ever before PS3 came out and that site has alays been garbage. I only went on the site cause of the forums since gamefaqs couldn't quote people. I normally don't on there anymore, mainly for the reviews. Listen i don't know whats wrong with these reviews i rented this game and i found a very good game i would rate it 7.8. and i know many friends who has it and liked it alot. So i disagree with his score. I just just hope the site as a whole gets checked out. Since there is fishy business afoot there. Its not like he can't get a job anymore i don't see a reason to feel bad, probably cause of this his name will be out there and many places would hire him.
Gamespot had this controversy coming and its about time, i laugh at there lie about being unbiased, A trained monkey who doesn't rush games to meet deadlines(like the majority on Gamespot and IGN reviewers do) can rate these games fairly.
