Ahh... Kane and Lynch. I'm sure everyone has already heard about this countless times by now but I'm going to mention it again anyway very simply:
A Gamespot editor reviewed Kane and Lynch. Kane and Lynch's publisher Eidos Interactive has an advertising contract with Gamespot. Soon after a Gamespot editor was fired and the video review was removed from the site.
Coincidence? I think not. Anyway, that's not enough bad publicity for Eidos so they have to take it a step further and falsify review scores from Game Informer and GameSpy on their website.
I decided to have a little fun and see what the Eidos community thought of the issue but obviously they are fanboys and I was quickly rejected at their forums. I was even banned. Yeah, I was banned permanently for stating my opinion and backing it up with facts. They even deleted the thread and edited some of my other posts to make me sound like an idiot.
You rock, Eidos! Excuse me while I go buy every one of your games.
I've been following the issue in much more depth too on my blog. If it's not okay to post links then I'll remove them, but:
