Earlier this week Jeff Gerstmann, GameSpot’s Editorial Director, was released from his job after posting a poor review of Eidos’ Kane and Lynch on the GameSpot website.
Apparently none of Gamespot’s staff could be reached for comment (big surprise) but the parent company, CNET, issued a statement in response: “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.” Considering they just fired one of their team members for doing their job and producing an unbiased review I don’t see how they can release this comment without placing ‘just kidding’ at the end.
