Europa as seen by the Galileo probe: antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/image/0712/europa_galileo.jpg
The foundation that runs Wikipedia has finally agreed to pay contributors to the online encyclopedia a modest fee for their work. But it will not pay the thousands of people who participate in creating the wiki pages - just artists who create “key illustrations” for the site. The payments are made possible by a $20,000 donation from Philip Greenspun, who said he was moved to give the money because of his experience seeing technical books he had originally published online appear in print.
Due to legal constraints and the company policy of GameSpot parent CNET Networks, details of Gerstmann’s departure cannot be disclosed publicly. However, contrary to widespread and unproven reports, his exit was not a result of pressure from an advertiser.

Official Kane & Lynch Website LIES About Its Scores [Gerstmann Firing News] →
The official website for Kane & Lynch lists two 5-star reviews that it never received. The quotes are pulled from early previews, and the 5 stars are pulled straight from their asses. It seems that Eidos is just completely delusional about their scores, if they’re willing to both get people fired and completely invent positive reviews.
Fuck you GameSpot: I’ve been an reader of GameSpot for years, but now this has come to an end. Never mix advertisement with editorial review. If you make a crappy game, you get a crappy score no matter how much money you spend on advertisement.

GameSpot/Gerstmann issue reveals the lack of journalistic integrity →
In observing the GameSpot/Jeff Gerstmann affair, one thing comes to mind. “Videogame journalism.” Someone once told me that it was an oxymoron. I’m beginning to believe he’s on the money. It isn’t GameSpot, CNet or Gerstmann or the firing who are the focus of this article however - it’s the industry covering the affair (and readers as well.)

Not Only has Jeff Gerstmann Left Gamespot, so has Tim Tracy →
A source close to the editorial team has revealed that the row focused on the tone of the content of the original review, which was apparently subsequently altered. Tim Tracy, former head of video at the company, has also departed, although it’s not clear at this time whether or not the two are linked. Man, this site is going downhill from here on!

Can You Trust A Video Game Site That Runs Video Game Ads? →
The recent firing by Gamespot of long time writer Jeff Gerstmann over a less than favorable review of Kane & Lynch poses a good question to video game enthusiasts, can you really trust a site that accepts advertiser money from the company making the game they review?
