I completely agree.

I don't know. I've only played Smooth Moves for a little bit and I haven't played Bioshock at all. But it is kind of beside the point.

Stop complaining about TP. It was about an 8.8 give or take...

You're right. Bioshock was just a 9.

But the fact that they both scored lower than Wario Ware makes those scores bad.

Jeff Gerstmann is an elitist douche.

Watch a video review of his. More specifically, watch a video review of his for a game he scored 8.0 or lower. He sounds so.... snobby. He makes snide remarks that sometimes don't even relate to the game at every turn.

He doesn't deserve his job. He's the Don Imus of game reviews.

I'll usually only call shenanigans on cases like this.

Again, who this is doesn't matter as much as the possibility of this happening. It's not a good sign.

I realize that if this rumor is true, and the conditions of his firing are true, than it's pretty bad that got fired.

Doesn't mean I'm not happy about it though.
