Many sources have posted the rumour that Jeff Gerstmann was fired from Gamespot in response to his 6/10 review of Kane & Lynch, after publishers Eidos made a very large fuss.
While the internet is abuzz withrumours regarding this story, we are certain that it’s true. Our very reliable source tells us that while Gerstmann wasn’t the most popular man with the CNET owners, it was his Kane & Lynch review alone that saw him fired. You see, Eidos had just spent huge, huge amounts of money securing massive advertising across the site, skinning the entire front page with K&L commercials, along with running gimmick adverts allowing readers to cut their own K&L trailers. So a 6 wasn’t exactly the mark they were hoping for.
Corrupt fucks.
