If anyone followed the saga at GameSpot a while ago now they would of read about Jeff Gertsmann a journalist that got sacked pretty much for saying how it is...

Anyway he's finally launched the full version of his new gaming site...

www.giantbomb.com

(note: the site is getting hammered...so expect it to be a bit nuts for now:))
It's pretty kick ass:)!

Was this the guy that gave that Kane & Hinch (or something like that) a s*** review, when the gamespot site was full of their advertising etc?

Yep same guy. Spoke the truth.

It will be awesome if he starts something that ends up bigger than gamespot

A cynical person might think he totally burned his old company and inspired e-rage everywhere just to give his new site some street cred.

Also "Jeff" did his 15 seconds of e-fame really put him on first name terms with the internets?

haha, its funny when game reviewers think they are journalists

Are they starting a new podcast too? I listened to one of his new ones and they talked about f***ing soft drinks for 2 hours

haha, its funny when game reviewers think they are journalists

My sentiments exactly.

haha, its funny when game reviewers think they are journalists

Even funnier when journalists from ACA, TT, most news.com.au articles etc call themselves journalists:)

nah, thats not as funny actually.

why would anyone want to be a journo? i rate them below lawyers, pollies AND used car salesmen.

Obviously they never heard how infi from qgl felt about their careers.

yes, they would do well to heed it.

haha, its funny when game reviewers think they are journalists

I agree, but where did he call himself a journalist?

i said "think", but see the first post.

my point though was its a bit much for a game critic to claim integrity and objectivity when what they do for a living is entirely subjective. you're not reporting facts, you're reporting opinions.
