» Kane And Lynch Web Site Creates Scores For Reviews?

While CNet has officially said that the firing last week of GameSpot executive editor Jeff Gerstmann was not the result of editorial pressure from outside advertisers, it looks like the game at the center of Gerstmann's dismissal, the Eidos published Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, may be creating review scores on their web site. Kotaku points out that two review scores allegedly from Game Informer and GameSpy. Both have five stars as their scores but GameSpy's actual review only has three stars. GameInformer doesn't use stars but a 10 based number system (it gave the game seven out of 10). Update Those star scores on the reviews on the Kane and Lynch web site have now been removed.

I just laugh at critics, while I sit back and play the game I want.

Is it possible that the comments were from previews?

Then I guess that settles that but you really can't give star ratings to preview comments.

Yeah, I could kind of let the comments thing slide since they were actually said at some point in time, but the fabrication of a score was a pretty dirty trick.

Actually what it's saying is that Eidos is fibbing about what some media publications are rating their game.

Damn! First they get Gerstmann fired for pressuring Gamespot/CNET to change the review under the threat of pulling their advertising dollars, now they are lying about the reviews that they have posted on their site.

Whoever is in charge of marketing for Kane & Lynch at Eidos should be lynched himself for disregarding any sort of business ethics.

No way. That guy's a genius. Look at all the attention the game is getting.
