Jeff Gerstmann, an editor at Gamespot, was fired because he gave a 6/10 to the game Kane and Lynch: Dead Men. Why? Because Gamespot.com was advertising this game HEAVILY. It's like, there were ads for this game all over Gamespot, hyping it up and !@#$%, and when it comes out finally, it gets a 6/10. Apparently the game developers (Eidos) were upset by this and Gerstmann was fired as a result.
