Eidos Dollars > Game Reviewer?

Eidos makes video games (those of you who are testosterone driven might remember them for a lil' game with big assets called Tomb Raider). They are also partly responsible for the Hitman movie trailers that keep popping up during your favorite TV show. Their big release of the year was a game called Kane & Lynch, which featured a heartwarming story of a ruthless mercenary, and heavily medicated psychopath escaping deathrow and shooting lots of random people who thankfully have no family or children to leave behind. The game has received luke warm critical reviews, averaging a 6.7/10 rating on most review sites. One of these particular reviewers, Gamespot's Jeff Gerstmann gave the game an extra dollop of loathing. Soon after the review hit, his 11 year career at Gamespot was ended due to advertising pressure from publisher Eidos. While all official responses have denied that his abysmal review of the game is the reason behind his need to move back into his parent's basement, a CNET ad rep (CNET is Gamespot's boss) later confirmed that game publisher Eidos wanted Gerstmann's head (probably not in those terms, but maybe. Those guys make videogames after all, they're crazy).
Interestingly, Valleywag has been one of the few media types that was able to get ahold of Gerstmann, by using facebook of all things.
