Jeff Gerstmann was allegedly fired due to advertiser pressure for his review of Eidos' Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. A visit to Gamespot shows that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game has taken over the site very prominently, with backgrounds and multiple banner ads all pitching Kane & Lynch. Allegedly, publisher Eidos "took issue with the review and threatened to pull its ad campaign.
The only thing that annoyed me about this review is his constant whiny bothered tone.
The game do have alot of flaws. The AI, the camera, the movements and the aim is really really bad. And the graphics is very gray over all.

Isn't that Ridiculous? That guy informs gamers that they shouldn't waste their money on a crappy game but they expected him to give a good review because they're a sponsor? I hope the guy gets a better job now. I'm just wondering, if this happened once with sponsors imagine the other games that have/will be reviewer positively so sales will go up?

Sounds like he just didn't like it to me. With that said, his review isn't very good. It really sounds like he wants to make the devs mad. Calling it ugly over and over. He also clearly didn't give the game a chance, because it isn't nearly as bad as he made it out to be.
