ValleyWag reports that Eidos is "freaking out" over l'affaire Gerstmann; top management there, an insider says, sincerely believes they didn't prompt CNET to fire Gerstmann, but fears they'll get the blame anyway.
Zach writes: 'IO Interactive have developed a number of highly regarded titles during their two-decade long run. The Hitman games have always been huge commercial and critical successes, and even lesser-known titles like Freedom Fighters ended up as a cult classic.'.
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.
So Eidos should hire him. That'd be the ultimate FU to gamespot.
JeffK worked on C&C3, Im sure they can find something for Gertsmann to do :)
I hope Eidos can recover for this if they're telling the truth. But this thing has already reached an astounding level, I dunno if they will completly shake this. Regardless, I wish them a recovery if they're innocent.
Well guess what Eidos?? Crap rolls down hill and your company quite possibly had an "indirect" influence, phfft!
Gamers, this goes to show you why you can't trust those reviews anyways and that they are rigged !!!!

We are reaching a critical point and once we reach 500 signators, the entire petition is going to be landing on Josh Larsen's desk !!!!
That's right we have found how to get direct hold of that awful CNET editor Larson who has been causing the Gamespot downfall !!!!
Gamers, don't trust shady reviews and don't buy DELL !!!
this would have NEVER happened if Kane & Lynch was as good as their advertising. If their games were awesome then they'd have nothing to worry about, this is a good swift kick in eidos' pants regardless.
