There seems to be a theme with today's news, centering around game journalism. As you know, there was a big shakedown at Gamespot not long ago, where Jeff Gerstmann was fired presumably because of his Kane and Lynch review - though the site claims this was not the case. Well a new Editor-In-Chief has taken over Gamespot and is talking about taking over and the firing.

Ultimately content is going to prove to people that we're untainted, uncorrupt and committed to serving our readers."
