The Gamespot Editor got fired for giving a review?

The best review is always your own.

But things like this are why I look at all kinds of reviews. Gamerankings and Metacritic are great because they make it easy to look up multiple scores at once. While it's still not going to be the same as your own review, it at least gives you a ballpark idea of how good the game is.
 
The reason I read reviews is to get an idea of what the game is about. If it intrigues me and sounds like something I might like then I'll pick it up. Otherwise I always took reviews with a big grain of salt.
 
Here's the joke of a response from Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6183603.html?action=convert&om_clk=latestnews&tag=latestnews;title;0

They say there was absolutely no correlation, after they remove the video review, with Jeff in it, change the text review, pull the User Soapbox, a user editorial section at Gamespot, and they expect us to believe this?
 
read the main page of kane and lynch XD and laugh your !@#!@ off (they say gamespy gave the game 5 stars)

As if this wasn't bad enough, Eidos' official site lied, and said GameInformer and GameSpy gave them perfect scores....GameInformer gave it a 7/10, Gamespy gave it a 3/5.
 
I have an idea... if you dont want reviewers to give your a crappy score, then dont make a crappy game!
 
See this why I usually just get information about what a game is about from the official game reviews. The actaul quality of game if you want to get an idea about that's like look at the user reviewers.

Kane & Lynch only got a 2.7 from those it seems like if anything the editor was being genirous with his review.

Yeah, but a lot of the people doing user reviews gave Kane & Lynch a low score on purpose to protest the guy getting fired. So a 2.7 isn't any more accurate than a 6.

Yeah, but a ton of other sites gave it low scores as well, and I'm sure they didn't do it in spite of what happened.

I would like to hear what Jeff, the editor who was fired, has to say on this situation, rather than these censored, comments from Gamespot lawyers, that are using the law to hide behind the truth.
