ignorant_icarus Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Low availability on gamefly, so I won't be seeing it for a few months. I was just curious if anyone picked it up or rented it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Made Soul Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Too disgusted to want to play it due to the Gamespot drama.Also, still absorbed in Mass Effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignorant_icarus Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 Whoa I didn't check out the gamespot review yet. They ripped them a new one. 6.0 is lowwwww. Then again they are the people who only gave Crackdown a 7.8 ("good"). Either way their description is enough to bump it down towards the bottom of my Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Made Soul Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 http://www.joystiq.com/2007/11/30/rumor-ga...-and-lynch-rev/Errr, actually the current review on Gamespot has been edited to make it seem better. Eidos complained that Editorial Director Jeff Gerstmann's review conflicted with the fact that they just happened to have dumped a whole pile of money on Gamespot for advertising. Therefore, according to the widely-accepted rumor, Gamespot fired Gerstmann for making K&L look bad (hard to NOT do, according to various reviews). There is also reportedly a mass exodus from Gamespot over the matter. The differences in the print versions can be seen here: http://www.joystiq.com/2007/12/05/comparis...ne-and-lynch-r/The before and after edits of the video review can be seen on Youtube. Penny Arcade's take:Hilary Goldstein from IGN, however, believes that Gerstmann was fired for other reasons according to his blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignorant_icarus Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 haha I never heard about that. Ahh the power of the almighty dollar. "WHO SAID YOU COULD BE HONEST??? WE PAID YOU!!!!"Just reminds me what I sometimes forget. That everything you enjoy on radio, tv, and the internet is only around to sell stuff.

Headshot Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Kane & Lynch kind of sucks. Aside from it being way too ridiculously hard (During most shootouts you're outnumbered 10-1, and it's only fair if you're playing co-op, otherwise all the shooters are aimed right at you, making it impossible for you to stand up and shoot), the storyline is extremely stupid.
