I believe CNet management let Jeff go for all the wrong reasons. I believe CNet intends to soften the site's tone and push for higher scores to make advertisers happy. I won't lie to people and tell them a game is good when it isn't. I won't downplay negatives that readers have a right to know about. |

» CNET Grrr!!!
I used to trust CNET in a lot of their product reviews and recommended them as a tool to people when they were in dought of products to purchase but now I will think twice about trusting them. If money is all that matters to them and not the facts then I will look elsewhere.

I used to think that they had great reviews, and were usually the harshest reviewers there were, which always meant, if they like a game, it must be good! Not anymore. You'd think game developers might try spending some of that "advertising" money *cough*bribes*cough* on making a game worth reviewing well instead.

» Yup, I'm done with CNET after this
I used to trust CNET reviews for everything, now I'm not even gonna bother going there.
Now I know why they give every Sony, Samsung, and Dell product under the sun an 8/10 or better. Because those three do so much advertising with them.
CNET + phail

Since he's a freelance reviewer I don't think they'll have troubles replacing him. Looking at that, he didn't really contribute much worthwhile. And yes I saw that he put he contributed more than 700 articles over the years, so keep in mind while looking at that list that those are thing he chose to show what he did...

I love how people back up GS as if they aren't to blame. Hello you worked for them and now leaving of course your not going to bash the site you worked for. Its the same as everything else. Fact is he doesn't know who fired Jeff, he's just trying to make GS look good and himself.
GS are the problem. Why can't people see the bias in Gamespot site. I doubt CNet would fired him just to make GS credibility go down since they own GS. It makes no sense. Seriously he needs to think before he speaks, just like everyone else. They know nothing about this matter neither do us so why state something that isn't true and just an opinion. Thats why the reviews suck GS and IGN, the reviews are so biased. The scores hasn't been truthful or correct for years now. People have have to be blind to not see it.
I played Kane and Lynch and i found it a very good game, and i personally disagreed with the whole video article from Jeff, which is why im glad he's fired. One less biased reviewer gone. And now Frank is gone as well. Im seeing mass resignations, and i still can't believe people still visiting gamespot now anyway. The site sucks, and if it didn't have Gamefaqs forums it would have been dead, i only go there for the forums, and most of the people there too.
The only people who actually care about the site if you work for CNet or Gamespot. And anyone who says other wise are lying. I know one site that owns gamespot and thats Neoseeker. It has more Honest people there, No biased members, and the most part friendlier. probably the best game, hardware site on the net. Has so many types of forums its incredible.
So good riddance Frank, its about time you left GS, its a waste of internet space if you ask me.
