Jeff was the most bad*** editor this site has seen. all his reviews were bold, honest and freaking flat out down to earth.

He might be gone, his video review might have been taken down, but Kane and Lynch will still remain a crappy game...

It's nice to know that I can no longer trust any reviews done here at gamespot!!! Apparently the GS review score no longer reflects the quality of a game, but provides us with a score as to how much money the publisher is paying to advertise on the site. It looks as if my paid gamespot membership is now useless, and I must look else where for my game reviews.

Jeff you will be missed.

the worst part of this is the irony. people expect reviews to be unbiased and sure the person who reviews them will always have different opinions depending on what they like, but it should never be affected bya business trying to sell the game, thats just insane. and now jeff is fired because he excersised his freedom of speech and right/his job to give an unbiased review. well done cnet

I feel like I was robbed. I became a paid member of this site for biased information.

your mixing up issues here. this is because gamespot wanted money and the developers almost pulled their funding from gamespot (it was for a lot of money) because of jeffs review of the game. gamespot gave in and got rid of jeff to keep the money.

I'm glad he's gone.

He's a loser. That's why they fired him.

He gave Halo 3 a 9.5......even though it's complete garbage.

I would rather play Kane and Lynch all day long then play one minute of Halo 3.

Thank GOD Gamespot had the balls to fire this jerk. ;)

Your ignorance astounds me. You really fail to see the bigger point here. Have fun reading your management driven, money driven, biased company-speak reviews from now on.

Sad to see Jeff gone. Jeff was a man who told it like it was. Evidently Lamespot didn't like that, and we see how they responded! GAMESPOT= LAMESPOT!

I agree. Jeff was the only point to even bother with GS reviews. Now that he is gone, many GS users will leave and Cnet will be rightfully screwed.

He was the kind fella who would be all "I'll say a game is bad because everyone says it's good", imo (see twilight princess... an 8.8? Get outta here.). I either liked his reviews or hated them. I surely won't miss him, and neither willCnet apparently.I don't come to GS for the reviews anymore, and the Mass Effect blunder has further solidified my stance. Stay for the forums, go elsewhere for reviews. That's my new GS motto =P

Even though some of his reviews pissed me off (games that I were hyped for that he rated below what I expected, lol. :P) he was really the most honest, unbias reviewer on this site. Well goes to show you how money can affect anything.

even though i didnt always agree with his opinion, at least it was honest, or seemed so....kinda makes you wonder who will go next...greg, then carrey, then rich, then jeff and tim.....if alex or ryan leave gs is done....and it already in pretty bad shape....also, i wonder if theyll still keep doing on the spot??or if itll even be any good??either way, this shows a loss of integrity at cnet, and surelly their fanbase will drop significantly now...

It seems like mixed opinions here. I haven't followed his reviews too closley but I have given up on the reviews here for quite some time.

I did enjoy Jeff on "On the Spot" though.
