I call for support against the system that is currently in place at GS to only use GS scores to decide whether a game is a flop or not. Gamespot has proven that it is biased by the firing of Jeff Gertsmann who gave an honest review of a game. I say that we move to the use of gamerankings scores to determine a flop or not.

There are too many of us here to move to another sites forums, and the vast majority of us will stay here. But we just want a FAIR system. We want reviews that are not biased. We want HONESTY! Gamespot has proved that it can not provide that, and that any shred left of that will be taken away (if it has not already).

WE WANT A GAME TO BE DETERMINED BY HOW GOOD IT IS, NOT BY HOW MUCH A COMPANY HAS PAID YOU!

neither cake or death, or casey, or any of the other mods will give us the sticky thread to make a giant vote or even let it be standard.

IT JUST WONT HAPPEN. I mean we have had this in the past but this has to be the few times i honestly believe we need to switch to gamerakings since its still a cnet site.

so, we simply ignore the rule. There's more of us than them...and using GR is naot even a modable offense. If everyone just ignores the system, they will have to drop it.

GS scores don't matter anymore. There is no way to know how many scores have been or haven't been tainted. We might as well put an asterisk (*) over every score there is. To me there is only one score to trust in. That is Kane & Lynch. I'm not one to trust the unknown or to assume that a score is legit or not. This incident is like the MLB's steroid issues. Everything is suspect now.

I see no problem with using GS scores. I tend to agree with them with certain games.

I like how system wars is trying to pretend to be a legitimate community now.

Keep on fighting the good fight, you insecure jerks.

System Wars is all fun and games. I doubt anyone here really bases their next game purchase solely off of Gamespot's review. In the end everyone that comes here is a gamer.

If that's how you want to justify your collosal waste of time. Take it from someone who has been following these boards since 03.

We should have changed the system the first time around when GS changed their reviewing system, but certain mods didn't want to even consider it. I bet they'll keep challenging this even with what has happened to GS.

Dude, I have no idea what point you're trying to make here. The facts are: you argue about videogames on the internet, you do it while calling yourself a farm animal and you are probably just hitting puberty. You can tell you are taking things too seriously when you relate "the console wars" to an issue that's actually important, like racism.

Please continue with your town meeting though.

Well, I've never been one to trust reviews to begin with but it looks to be (Still a lot of speculation without proof) getting to the point where you can't even use the GS scores for the SW game. :(

I have to say this is indeed a tragic day for the Gamespot faithful. Alas, I lost my faith in this site's reviews months ago. It is a true shock that there is actually legitimate evidence of corruption with the reviews. I was never a huge fan of Jeff, but I think he did an immensely noble thing by simply giving the game exactly what he thought it deserved, knowing all too well he'd be burned for it. It's amazing, he got fired for doing his job the way it's supposed to be done.Gamespot is just a forum community I go to now. Never for reviews. I hope Jeff is welcomed somewhere else among honest gaming reviewers.

Just hit puberty? lol ***** don't act like you know me. If this place isn't a community because people call eachother farm animal names then what does that make of the world? Telling me I take things to seriously and then you mention someone hasn't gone through puberty. Get real man. If you lived any where near me or near the area where I go to school I would love for you to say that kinda crap to my face.

Who the hell talks crap over the internet? Oh wait. People like you.

This has been coming A LONG TIME. The gamers of this forum have been crying FOUL for a long time, yet the GS fanboys/girls ignored them like raving lunatics.

Finally, we can see the truth.

PERFECT DARK 9.0...HAHAHAHA. This is priceless.
