Honestly, why should I trust the review scores now?

You know, I really thought highly of gamespot as a reviewing site when I saw an honest review of Kane and Lynch in spite of its ads being plastered all over the site. My friend rented it, we played it, the game is garbage. But I hope that gamespot doesn't actually believe that its readers are naive enough to believe that gerstman's termination isn't directly related to his review of the game. I've lost a lot of respect for gamespot, and I don't know how it could be earned back now.

This is about as true as it gets, personally i will not be renewing my premium service with Gamespot, and i will be using other websites to get the information i am seeking as far as anything goes.

ill be leaving this site, and locking it out in my preferences so i dont accidently come back to this site. i agree on deleting my account. gamespot.com has proven they can be bought and sold to the highest bidder fundamentally discrediting themselves as a reliable, honest source for game reviews. timefor me to pack my bags and start looking to a new site to read reviews.

You shouldn't.

People are over-reacting.

Sure Jeff's termination is a disgrace.

But reviews are still reviews, you CAN use more then one site like I do.

If you aren't able to make your own assumption on how a game is by looking at video's and stuff,

you deserve to waste your money on a bad game.

Meh,

My 2 cents.
