It seems that we are not in a land of free-speech after all. Gamespot editor Jeff Gerstmann was fired yesterday after giving Kane & Lynch: Dead Men a bad review. In the review, he stated that "Kane & Lynch is an ugly, ugly game" and "if you have a chance to see it, take a look - but it's probably not worth the purchase".

Someone at Eidos decided that this was not appropriate considering their massive advertising campaign on the site, and the poor guy got fired. Nice.

DailyTech - GameSpot Editorial Director May Have Been Fired Over Low Review Score

The irony of it is that the user score of the game has dropped to 2.6, as legions of disgruntled gamers vote the game 1.0 - Abysmal. If Eidos wanted negative publicity, this was exactly the right way to go about it.
