Remember Jeff Gerstmann? He was the dude that panned Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Eidos, the company that gave birth to K&L balked at his journalistic integrity and pulled their entire ad budget from Gamespot, the site for which Jeff wrote. This prompted Gamespot to also balk at journalistic integrity, and as a result, Jeff was forced out.

I still think Gamespot a pack of douche bags for handling the whole thing the way they did. I still don't buy that Jeff left for reasons unrelated to that whole sordid advertising affair. Gamespot did wrong: they know it, I know it, the squirrel currently scrambling up the tree in my backyard knows it.

But while Gamespot likely continues to reap the harvest of being a corporate mouthpiece, Mr. Gerstmann has moved on. To a brand new site. It's called GiantBomb.com. It's pretty much a blog about gaming at the moment, but Jeff recently stated on X-Play that he will expand the site to include game reviews and an insider's look into the gaming industry. In other words, he plans on continuing what he did for Gamespot, but without having to worry about selling out when he calls a spade a spade.

I'm looking forward to visiting his site often and wish him the best of luck in this new endeavor.
