A number of Ziff Davis staffers (including a few writers for 1UP, arguably GameSpot's biggest competition) recently crafted an uplifting banner and marched to the GameSpot offices just two blocks away. The demonstration was a response to the recent unexplained firing of GameSpot contributor Jeff Gerstmann. After hearing the rumors that Gerstmann was fired due to pressure from advertisers following his lackluster review of Kane and Lynch, the ZD staff decided to show their support for their fellow gaming journalist.

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "The video game industry is a pretty cutthroat place. More often than not the cycle of a game’s life is pretty set in stone – a title is announced, hyped ,released and hopefully it’s a hit. However sometimes things don’t go as planned and a game doesn’t hit home with gamers. Not that’s it a bad game per say but due to a myriad of issues or the general mood of the world at the time the game isn’t remembered so fondly as its contemporaries. So for this week’s Top 10 we’re listing off ten titles that you should probably give a second chance to because they really are decent titles and deserve more love than they ever got."
I enjoyed Kane and Lynch. I would love to see a PS All-Stars 2 or a non-Smash take on a PlayStation fighter. Maybe a Marvel v Campcom style but with larger levels.
I’d rather Nintendo give Star Fox Assault a second chance and make another new game in that style. I like that game way better than Star Fox Adventures
The Conduit.
Just, give us a reboot of that for Switch and make it bigger and better than the original, which had potential but never got off the ground due to being on the Wii.
In addition to retaining Hitman, IO kept ownership of Freedom Fighters, a 2003 third-person shooter that appeared on sixth gen consoles and received high praise.
I played Freedom Fighter on PC when I was a kid. Damn, the game was so freaking good.
I can live with this IO. So how about that sequel, so I can forgive you already?
WOW!!!!!! I would be so hyped if Freedom Fighters returned but it's very disappointing that Kane and Lynch is still on ice because the story has so much potential. Both games also features Jesper Kyd's best work.
I really, really, really hate that girl holding up the right hand side of that idiotic sign. Like, loath. She's such a moronic twit! Anyways, this is nothing but a chance to pounce onto sympathy votes and get more subs and readers to their site and mag. It shows they are the compassionate ones and if they support their "fellow" reviewers so much... Why don't they offer Jeff a job where they work?
P.S. Look at that bunch of SLOP DONGS! Look at them... all of them. These are not normal people. Check out the dude in the last picture form the right on the bottom. He's wearing a yellow shirt a giant ass ear ring and lip stick. What the sam F*CK is going on here? These smacks are morons! They're all like 30 and they dress like they're 15 and that one TW@T RASH who I hate has a damn puppy in her purse... What degenerates. I mean, these are the people who need to be hit with missiles.
"1UP, arguably GameSpot's biggest competition"
Wow, talk about dumb leading the dumber !!
If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. Yeah that applies here.
I wonder why they didn't invite me
