I had my fill and I'm done. With a barren 2008 schedule and the games that I was awaiting prior to the console's release already having been released, I don't have any reason to hang on any longer. THe console went up on eBay today and will be out of my house by Saturday. I didn't think I would sell it after SSBB came out like everyone would joke about in SW.....but, actually the downer that SSBB ended up being as my first entry in tho the Smash Bros. series (completely atrocious and unacceptable online, and meh single player) left me with a bitter taste somewhat. After putting time into this game. I can't give it a 9.5. I had fun with it at first, but I think part of that was my generated around the hype and buzz the game had.....but when it came down to it, it just made me think how I would rather be playing Soul Calibur IV or Tekken 6.

Well hopefully it'll find a home where the people enjoy playing Carnival Games and Hannah Montana. As of right now, I'm a PS360 owner only...

Ok, now that I've already finished most of the big name games for the year I'm gonna give out my top 10 list for 2007

1. Call of Duty 4

2. Rock Band

3. Bioshock

4. Super Mario Galaxy

5. Mass Effect

6. Ratchet and Clank : Future Tools of Destruction

7. Halo 3

8. Uncharted

9. Guitar Hero 3

10. Orange Box

Most Surprising (tie)

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords

Portal

Most Disappointing

Delays - MGS4, FFXIIII, GTAIV

Most Underrated (GS Score)

Ratchet and Clank: Future Tools of Destruction (7.5 is ridiculous for this game)

Most Overrated

Do your little part to keep videogame-review -integrity

This will not be a long blog, just short, concise, and to the point.

Gamespot You Have Failed Me....

Do I trust any of your past reviews from this gen? No

Do I think that you are now, without question biased towards Microsoft/Xbox 360? Without question. Your corporate practices are now evident, and they smell rotten.

Will my future purchases be based off of your Reviews? Absolutely not

Report: GameSpot's Gerstmann Fired Due to Negative Kane & Lynch Review

Rumors have been swirling today that Jeff Gerstmann, executive editor at CNET-owned major video game site GameSpot, was fired after giving a generally unimpressed review of Io Interactive's Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Gerstmann awarded the game a 6.0. (Though Shacknews does not score its reviews, our own Kane & Lynch review was similar in its verdict.)

According to the reports, the layoff came after Kane & Lynch publisher Eidos took issue with the review and threatened to pull its considerable ad contract. GameSpot's front page is currently almost entirely re-skinned with Kane & Lynch imagery.

The rumor began bouncing around various industry circles over the past day, and this evening was reported by Kotaku. Popular webcomic Penny Arcade posted a strip about the alleged incident tonight, outside of its normal publishing schedule.

Shacknews can confidently confirm via its own sources that Gerstmann was indeed fired yesterday from his position at GameSpot. The source declined to comment as to whether the firing was directly related to the reported Eidos situation, but the circumstances are suspicious at the least.

Gerstmann had been an employee at GameSpot for about a decade, and took the place of former executive editor Greg Kasavin when Kasavin left the company to work for Electronic Arts as a producer.
