Developments have slowed down a little bit over the weekend, but there is still plenty of chatter around the web about Gamespot's controversial firing of Jeff Gerstmann. Among the juicier bits from around the intertubes:
* In response to a Gamespot forum thread, the new Gamespot Manager of Community Development said he is "eagerly anticipating the official word to be released on Tuesday."
* Gamespot freelancer Frank Provo: "Personally, my respect for CNet is shot, and writing for GameSpot is going to feel like a chore for quite some time going forward."

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."
I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.
I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures
I heartily agree.
Maybe even a sequel with that new walker from Star Fox Zero.[yes I know it's originally from Star Fox 2, but most of us know it from Zero because we didn't get to play SF2.]
More people played SF2 than SFZ thanks to SNES Mini, and emulation. Also, Star Fox Adventure > Star Fox Assault.
The Conduit.
Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.
Castlevania 64 was an amazing game for its time and I'd LOVE to see it get a proper remake or reboot.
In addition to retaining Hitman, IO kept ownership of Freedom Fighters, a 2003 third-person shooter that appeared on sixth gen consoles and received high praise.
I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.
I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?
WOW!!!!!! I would be so hyped if Freedom Fighters returned but it's very disappointing that Kane and Lynch is still on ice because the story has so much potential. Both games also features Jesper Kyd's best work.
Does anyone care about this any more? I can't believe anyone can be shocked that a review was slanted, where have you been?
man i already signed in the petition to remove GS!! and i explained why also, i wont repeat my self!
but GS must go down along with 1UP and maybe some others!
Lol, that header cracks me up! :D
FOR THEM TO REVIEW UNREAL TOURNAMENT 3 ON THE PS3,SINCE THEIR REVIEW WILL STILL BE BIASED,THEY'LL LOSE THE FEW REMAINING SUPPORTERS THEY HAVE
EDIT: MR_ARABIC I AGREE WITH YOU,GAMESPOT IS COMPLETE BS RIGHT NOW AND THE WAY THINGS ARE LOOKING,IT WILL NEVER RECLAIM THE RESPECT THAT IT'S LOST FROM GAMERS
No one gives a crap.
Fat, ugly, and talentless punk runs his dumbass mouth off thinking he is some badass with a public forum to promote himself.
Fat, ugly, and talentless punk gets his ass fired for being a juvenile clown by management.
End of story.
