Long time Gamespot reviewer Jeff Gerstmann today finds himself without a job. Why this ?! Because one publisher - Eidos in this scenario -
had invested in a prominent advertising campaign on Gamespot. According to a fellow Gamespot contributor and close friend of
Gerstmann, the editor was fired
Wednesday morning because of his negative review of Edios Kane & Linch: Dead Men, which he
awarded "just" with 6.0. Although, the latest Penny-Arcade comic features a brief overview of this controversy instance.
"it is CNET Networks' policy not to

"For
over a decade, Gamespot and the many members of its editorial team have produced
thousands of unbiased reviews that have been a valuable resource for the gaming
community. At CNET Networks, we stand behind the editorial content that our
teams produce on a daily basis."
