Gamespot editor fired over negative review?

9 or above is a pretty sick watershed.

Then again, in this day and age, if you don't blow the product, literally or figuratively, you're "too negative."

Anyway, there's always going to be an issue with reviews and finance, because you don't bite the hand that feeds.

GameFAQs, also, is pulling reviews they deem too negative on "AAA" titles. One guy got his SMG review pulled even though the gist of his review was "Pretty good, but don't expect much more than SM64." I disagree, because the world design is so...Borderline epic. But that's not the point. There's a squeeze on reviews these days.
