Kotaku and
Shacknews have reported via unnamed sources that Eidos threatened to pull the ad contract for Kane and Lynch off GameSpot because of Gerstmann's review of the game where he gave it a score of 6 out of 10.

Ha wouldnt be the first game Edios has published that sucked, and it certianly wont be the last. Look at the games user reviews for crying out loud. They should be happy the game sopt fellow gave them a 6.

Kane & Lynch is one of those game you wish people wouldnt even have to see advertised. Gameplay sucks, GFX looks like 3-4 years old... it has nothing new to offer and it feels ALL wrong.

Now firing someone for giving an honest opinion about a pile of crap is not something I agree with. I was not visiting GS much and now im never going back there again.

Put some balls on people... firing a good reviewer for a bad review on a shity game is quite the lowest thing you could have done !!!

Anyways... this game sucks, Eidos is freefalling with the quality of their games.... youll pay the price for this... both GS and Eidos ! It might not be tomorrow, but it'll catch up to you !!!

I actually made an account just so i could coment on this, this is such a childish action for edios, rediculous, guys serously if the shoe fits...

a total of 1184 users between the 3 platforms gave it an avrage rating of 4.3! your game stinks, stop crying about it and make a better one, trying to force sites to give you a good vote is not going to help you. INFACT Mr. Gerstmann was being very generous with his score of 6.0 as clearly the public at large deems your game much much worse.

Mr. Gerstmann, if your reading this i have one word for you, SUE! if there ever was a wrongful dismissal this is it.
