Yeah I had read up on the firing and it's a shame. I actually have used Gamespot as one of the review places I look to before buying a game. I usually pay more attention to the user ratings but now I have to wonder if those might be manipulated if they aren't high enough to please Gamespot.

I never listen to reviews anymore.
As they say in Fallout 2:
"Opinions are like assholes. Everyones got one and they all stink."
