Jeff Gertsmann, a former employee of gamespot wrote an unflattering review and did an unflattering video about the game Kane & Lynch. Eidos was outraged and threatened to remove their advertisements, so gamespot caved in and fired Jeff for doing his job. They even pulled his video off of the website.
The video can be found in the first link.
I will never visit this website again unless gamespot rehires Jeff and issues an apology. I recommend you to do the same and cancel any paid subscription to gamespot. If they don't fix their mistakes, I hope they go bankrupt.

Gamespot: Either stand behind your people, or put the words “Paid Advertisement” in front of all of your review scores.
