- LimeParrot, on 12/02/2007, -4/+625It looks like a fair review. He went through all the problems and pointed out the good ideas that failed in execution. It's BS that he got fired...
- Appox, on 12/02/2007, -10/+514Good review. Can't wait to see more gamespot reviews from this guy.
- tubeblender, on 12/02/2007, -11/+240Obligatory: ***** Gamespot for firing this guy
- krakkinem, on 12/02/2007, -3/+181I was expecting him to brutalize the game, but instead he was pretty fair. He got fired for being honest, and that's pretty ***** up.
- jggr, on 12/02/2007, -8/+169Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but fyi: there's a big ***** going on around here regarding this story.
Either way, I agree... can't wait to see what site gets this dude. Whoever they are, they'll get my support. - Lane, on 12/02/2007, -5/+166He goes too easy on the game if anything...
- MaddGIJoe, on 12/02/2007, -2/+131Hahah if anything I think Jeff made me want to check out the multiplayer... that actually sounds like a cool idea for a gametype.
- urbannomad23, on 12/02/2007, -5/+130cnet=scum
- AshamedAmerican, on 12/02/2007, -6/+119I have a feeling it was his last comments on "not paying full price for the game" or "dont buy it" that did him in.
- pronouncable, on 12/02/2007, -1/+92When will people learn pulling something because it's bad always brings in more attention that it would've had originally.
- Protonz, on 12/02/2007, -2/+88Maybe GameTrailers can snap him up. GT has better quality reviews anyway.
- rwallen, on 12/02/2007, -1/+75Gamespot has been getting pretty bad lately. They gave Jericho 6.5 / 10, that was the worst game I've played all year.
- Groovemaster, on 12/02/2007, -0/+71He obviously meant to wait until the price of the game goes down before buying it. He may not have been a well-liked reviewer but he definitely wasn't so stupid as to advocate piracy.
- juckman, on 12/02/2007, -0/+65I think he meant to rent it. You guys are overthinking.
- BillyNeverDies, on 12/02/2007, -1/+49Jeff was my favorite reviewer on their site. His reviews were always honest and completely fair. It sucks that he got fired, but he's pretty much gained a fan club because of this, and I'm sure he'll have NO problem finding another job with a good site or magazine.
- tubeblender, on 12/02/2007, -3/+48Spoken like a true former special olympics champion.
- iamjero, on 12/02/2007, -3/+46He was not harsh. The game sucks. Play it, and you will find that out. I have gamefly and I sent it back the day I got it. Instead I played titles like mass effect, orange box, drakes fortune, call of duty 4, etc.
Kane and Lynch feels like something they threw together to compete with Army of Two, but fell extremely short. The engine provides graphics that dont impress, and the AI is generally some of the worst ive seen, especially when talking about a squad based game.
His thoughts hit the nail on the head, and it was an unbiased review. Penny arcade sum'd the story up with the comic, and hopefully the guy gets another job. Shame they let him go during the holidays for what many people deem a fair review. - phantasyhero, on 12/02/2007, -2/+43Agreed. CNet needs to realize that the websites they run can't be biased off of advertisement. The review was by no means the most bashful, or insulting review on the site.
- econojon, on 12/02/2007, -2/+38I wonder if there if there is some other 3rd reason why he could be fired...like the company had to sign an agreement or something that they couldn't talk about it. Like....maybe he got caught having sex with two secretaries at the same time....or maybe he put cocaine into his boss's brownies....or maybe he got teh_aids and slipped on a strategy guide and went tumbling into the kitchen where he hit a table and a knife dropped while everyone was there with a cake singing "Happy Birthday" and the knife slit the side of his neck spilling his aids blood all over everyone and in the cake and gave everyone aids and became a health risk and had to be fired. I mean....you never know!
- spoiled1, on 12/02/2007, -1/+32This game really sucks, it has nothing "next gen" to offer.
I rented it from Blockbuster and returned it the next day. - stigma15, on 12/02/2007, -0/+29Didn't he rate the game a 6 (out of 10)? Listening to the review, it sounds like it should have got a 3.
- s1mph0ny, on 12/02/2007, -1/+30What, you don't already?
- sirbeta, on 12/02/2007, -0/+27Well, I can see why they were so pissed off with his review, he basically tells you never to buy the game. But even that said; these sites are supposed to be fair and unbiased. This is in its purest form an unbiased review and he deserved much better than he got for doing his job the way he was supposed to do it. It's things like this that make it impossible to trust any review site.
- pAq6Swad, on 09/16/2008, -0/+26I'm pretty sure you've altered the definition of 'bashful'. Haha
- starf, on 12/02/2007, -0/+25Or find it on sale/used.
- Shuk, on 12/02/2007, -1/+26Wow I actually thought that the "infamous" review would be him trashing the game in an over the top, "big rigs" kind of way. This was actually a well spoken, informative review and I actually feel like I know all of the game's strengths and flaws. This pretty much confirms all suspicion of backdoor money dealing with the publisher or developer. Shame.
- silverbullet126, on 12/02/2007, -1/+25After Rich Gallup left (really to bad .. he was cool) things started to go down hill, not that Jeff is gone I really don't see a point in going back to gamespot. I canceled my paid subscription today and I doubt I'll ever go back. Bye Bye gamespot!
- s1mph0ny, on 12/02/2007, -0/+24Groovemaster is correct. Any time a review alludes to not paying full price they are implying that you wait until it is cheaper. A lot of movie reviewers will suggest that you don't watch a movie unless it's on cable, etc.
- zaid, on 12/02/2007, -0/+23Wow, thank you Eidos Employee for your amazingly original take on the situation.
- Arramol, on 12/02/2007, -1/+23Most places rent out for multiple days at a time. He's saying the game was so bad, it wasn't worth keeping for the entire rental period.
- Rapter09, on 12/02/2007, -1/+23Probably the most accurate review I've seen on Gamespot all year and he gets fired for it? He even tells people the thing they want to know straight up: It isn't worth the full purchase, but check it out if you can.
- inactive, on 12/02/2007, -3/+24Um, this was a most accurate and well done review. Its really ashame he got fired... hopefully he'll get a job with a more honest truthful company all though I'm sure they wont pay as well...
- ahhell, on 12/02/2007, -1/+22Seemed like a pretty fair review. ***** Gamespot in their stupid asses.
Jeff needs to start his own project up. - KbuPlatinum, on 12/02/2007, -4/+23Maybe we should start doubting the credibility of CNET's tech reviews
- pradaaddict, on 12/02/2007, -5/+23i see what you did there...
- gypsi, on 12/02/2007, -0/+18let me guess - no pubes yet?
- emery117, on 12/02/2007, -0/+18http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/edit ...
all that needs to be said about that god forsaken game - TheAtomicMoose, on 12/02/2007, -1/+19Why would you ever pay for game reviews?
- TurboBeard, on 12/02/2007, -0/+16Seriously? X-play? That show is for retarded kids...
- evlpanda, on 12/02/2007, -0/+16Likely, but pics or it didn't happen.
- lopla, on 12/02/2007, -0/+15wiped gamespot from my faves list after the dude got fired. total BS, hope he sues their asses.
- pronouncable, on 12/02/2007, -1/+16There are other benefits to subscribing. Their reviews _are_ free.
- arbulus, on 12/02/2007, -0/+14Streisand Effect
- therightclique, on 12/02/2007, -2/+15no. he wasn't. i have played this game extensively. i HAVE to play this game at my job. it is a very very bad game.
- keiran4u4eva, on 12/02/2007, -0/+13But he was making a point. The game's not going to be a PG, so why bother giving it a PG review? It's ***** ridiculous the guy got sacked!
- Sabretou, on 12/02/2007, -0/+13Explain to me in as many sentences as you like how that is supposed to be irony.
- gypsi, on 12/02/2007, -0/+12sometimes i look at a cnet review and wonder if anyone over there even opened the box or installed the software. some reviews read like advertising - in fact i can't tell what the hell is or isn't advertising at cnet. to save trouble, i just skip cnet when google gives results to their site.
- every1else, on 12/02/2007, -0/+12I don't believe we was in charge of editing the review and putting the game play segments in. And is saying ***** was the reason, they would never had put it up.
