  My last-ever post.

  I go by Zeke129 on Gametrailers.com now. Goodbye.

  What, you were expecting some kind of long speech? This site no longer deserves my rants. I'll continue annoying the intarwebz on my blog at Gametrailers.

  I urge you all to cancel your paid subscriptions immediately.

  I've been here long enough to see the blatant bias in this site's reviews, but I never thought it would come to this. Yes, Gamespot has allegedly fired a reviewer for going against the site's advertising.

  You see, the game was Kane and Lynch. A fairly average game, that's for sure. Jeff G. reviewed the game as a 6.0, which doesn't seem that bad. Well, in the weeks leading up to this the site was plastered in advertisements for Kane and Lynch. Apparantly, Gamespot has FIRED Jeff G, (the site's best reviewer) for giving a game that sponsors this site such a low score.

  Sure gives more credence to Gamespot's Microsoft bias, and the fact they recieve monetary contributions from Microsoft. Could this be why Playstation and Wii games have been recieving the short straw in review scores? We can logically assume yes.

  I urge you all to stop supporting this site. If this rumor proves itself true, I will never return to this website in any way, shape, or form. This includes this blog or forum posts. I will also start a public boycott against this site by notifying organizations such as Consumerist as to this site's shady business practices. After all, we're paying them to be fair and balanced. And they're not delivering.

  There's a thread in the Off-topic about this. Even moderators are jumping ship! This is truly a dark day for Gamespot.
  

  Shame on you, C|Net. You used to have credibility.

  It's been a good run, folks.

  Does anyone still read this? Hello? Yeah, you two in the back. Listen up.

  I'm done paying Gamespot to piss me off. It's been what, 3 years now where the only advantage to paying for this site was HD movies. And they're only 720p. I want 1080p movies. And although I won't be able to get those for free, a little site called "Gametrailers" offers everything Gamespot does - and then some.

  And the reviews - don't get me started on the reviews. I'm going to be called a cow for this, but even the most blind and ignorant Microsoft/Nintendo fanboy can see the glaring bias around this site. Resistance, Motorstorm, Warhawk, Ratched and Clank, and any of the multiplatform games. It's not even funny anymore. Just so everyone doesn't feel bad, Gamespot is biased towards Microsoft, not you guys, sheep. I feel your pain as well.

  Am I going to stick around? Sure, I'll enjoy sapping up this site's bandwidth with an adblocker on. And until the forums become pay-only, I'll keep posting there, too. Although the staff here is bumbling, the community is a bright shiny needle in the haystack.

  So? Farwell, Gamespot Total Access. It's been a good run.

  ...

  What the hell am I talking about? It's been a horrible run. That's why I'm cancelling. My subscription has until February.
