  The rumours circulating the internet are indeed terribly harsh. I hope for Eidos' sake that they are not true or they'll surely be left with a boycott on their hands.

  I agree, Xenc. I hope that Jeff being fired was due to something else...otherwise Eidos is in trouble.

  I don't think it would be Eidos who is in trouble. Eidos didn't cut Jeff's checks. If the story is true, it would be GameSpot who would be looked at for unjustly firing an employee. It seems as though GameSpot and Eidos had some unsaid understanding that Kane&Lynch would get high ratings, but Jeff thought otherwise.

  LOL its funny how you guys backing up Jeff like this, his review was harsh and had a bad tone as was listed in the last article. I don't see how anyone can be sorry he deserves it, and Eidos isn't in trouble
  Gamespot must found out something to boot his rear.

    He's known to be a harsh reviewer - that's what has made him so popular. The game's score on most sites is around the 6/10 range anyways, so he was hardly being outrageous enough to deserve a firing.
    If this IS the real reason he was fired, then that's really pathetic on GameSpot's part.

      Gamespot's reviews have been bullshit ever since the PS3 came out. All this controversy serves those assholes right.

      Exactly he's popular for being Harsh to the PS3 system and games. Which is why he's booting out has led many fanboys screaming and such. Gamespot review is garbage and has been with IGN since the dawn of time on PS systems.
      
      Gamespot like guticb stated deserves this controversy, maybe more intense investigation would happen on the site it self.

        GameSpot has been bullshit long before PS3 came out. They have always been bullshit.

      Hey its a harsh world out there you can be fired for just looking at your boss wrong i bet. Besides His review wasn't right anyway. None of the Pro reviewers on gamespot do there job right. And here's a saying, "If your not going to do it right, why bother doing it".
      
      Im telling you alot of these so called professional reviewers on there will get kicked out at one point.
      
      There have been many people that lost there job, Career's, life sucks in that aspect and thats the real world. My dad lost his job 3 times if not 4 and he's lucky to have a job. So please its not like he'll never work again just not with gamespot.

        K&L has gotten a general review score of about 65%-69%. For him to review the game as a 6.0 hardly means he "wasn't right." Furthermore, how can one be "right" with a review? A review is one's own perceptions and opinion of the product at hand, not a generalized recap based on what the mainstream thinks.
        
        But yeah, I doubt he'll have much trouble finding another site to work for. If anything, this whole debacle has really gotten his name out there, being that most fans are on his side now.

        Dine that wasn't the point, which seems Dezvous said most have missed. The fact is, he is a Professional Reviewer correct, yes?
        Than do you do realize that Professional reviews are supposed to review and rate the game with unbiased look, and Explain in writing why it got rated as such. You know the good about the game and the bad, fact is the bad part has never been correct ever on IGN or gamespot. Its not the Score i have a problem with is why, in his own professional review on the game, why it got the scores it did. And like i stated before and Dez, and guticb they never do that.
        
        Here's an example PS3 version of Ghost Recon got 8.5 while the 360 version got 8.7. Thats ok the problem with that was they stated because new people who own a PS3 won't understand the game story line, since its a last gen game series. You cannot rate games based off that, its ridiculous.
        The next one was something like lack of Multi-player or something, again not a good reason to rate the game which was technically the Superior Version 2 points down from the 360. That game was the superior version and has been claim by the Developers as such yet they get this biased reviews, which gave the 360 higher score.
        Thats the whole problem which you didn't read my comment in the thread in lounging which i stated 3 times. Its not the number thats the problem its the so called professional Review that gets lost in the sauce. No where in there is supposed to be your opinion. Not only that those reviewers rush playing the game to meet a dead-line you can't do that with games, that will lead to bad scores which the PS3 has gotten plenty of those.

        Ghost Recon is one example you've managed to give me. I gave you 10 in that Loungin' thread. Also, lack of multi-player for many people is reason enough to rate a game two points less. Infact, here's a list of all the review sites/magazines who gave GRAW2 a lower score on the PS3 than the 360, courtesy of GameRankings:
        
        1UP
        Da GameBoyz
        Extreme Gamer
        Game Informer
        Game Over Online
        GameAlmighty
        GamePro
        GamingExcellence
        NZGamer
        Pelit
        
        And that's not including IGN and GameSpot. But hey, I guess they're all just dirty Microsoft-loyalists, right?
        
        I'm going to go ahead and restate this, though: this has NOTHING to do with Jeff Gerstmann being fired. GRAW2 isn't even reviewed by him. You are bringing up a subject which is completely separate from this one. I'm not even going to ask how it relates to him, because it is clear to me that you are simply using this event to launch off your conspiracy theories about video game review sites conspiring against the PS3.
        
        Although I will agree that game reviews probably are mostly all rushed, trying to meet a deadline. So all professional reviews, to an extent, need to be read with a pinch of salt.

        Those ten was just scores i don't care for the number don't you read, i dont care if its 8.9, i want to know what the reason is and what the bad of the game and good of the game to match the score. All you gave me was numbers what does that prove.
        
        It has to do with the fact justice is being served and now Gamespot are deserving this controversy they just made, This has nothing to do with Eidos just cause they threaten to take out there ads means very little in jeff's job. He did something stupid and paid for it. And its not just Ghost recon Please PM guticb or DEZVOUS and they will tell you how they always don't explain why they rate them badly and they do it for the wrong reasons. Im done replying you obviously are missing the point.

  This has absolutely nothing to do with the PS3 or whether or not GS is biased towards it in their reviews. This has to do with the unjustified firing of a reviewer due to Eidos throwing a hissy-fit over an arguably harsh and honest review.
  
  That aside, I am quite pleased to see such a negative reaction from the general gaming population. I hope that GS/CNET regret their actions.

    Here is a quote from someone who knows what there talking about.
    

    quote DEZVOUS
    

    You clearly don't get it. He was let go by GameSpot. Since when does a developer have control over firing employees of GameSpot? There's some fishy stuff going on here.
