PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Eidos and GameSpot forums exploding over Gerstmann incident Although GameSpot and publisher Eidos have not yet made public statements over what led to the firing of GameSpot's Editorial Director Jeff Gertsmann, the accusation of publisher pressure is exploding all over the companies' forums. GameSpot currently has numerous threads on the incident, with one thread in particular having thousands of posts. Eidos has taken a different approach, locking down all threads on their site after apparently purging derogatory posts from thousands of angry gamers reacting to the rumor yesterday night.

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Confirmed: GameSpot's Gerstmann Fired Rumors have been swirling today that Jeff Gerstmann, executive editor at CNET-owned major video game site GameSpot, was fired after giving a generally unimpressed review of Io Interactive's Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Analyst: DS Redesign Done, Uncharted & Haze At Risk Pacific Crest Securities' Evan Wilson says new version of Nintendo's portable complete; holiday release torrent creating retail woes.

Wilson notes that not all games will be affected by insufficient retail space. "Clearly, the end-of-year squeeze creates limited space at retail, which limits the size of initial orders of games with less publicity and reorders of games with lower quality." He anticipates games with high preorder rates such as Guitar Hero III, Call of Duty 4, Assassins' Creed, Mass Effect, WWE, and Rock Band to be less affected by insufficient retail space. "Titles that could be at risk of getting squeezed," he continues, "include Haze, Kane & Lynch, and Uncharted."

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - COD4 Co-op, New Nintendo Handheld & More in Pro-G Rumour mill Pro-G's writes:

"Co-op play for Call of Duty 4
The Rumour: While Call of Duty 4 is a truly amazing single and multiplayer FPS, it's lacking one thing: co-op play. Well, we've heard that it might not be missing forever.

Verdict: Adding cooperative play to a game post-release isn't unheard of. Rare added co-op to Kameo and with downloadable content being all the rage these days, we wouldn't put it past Infinity Ward to deliver the goods. Don't bank on it though.

Plausibility rating: 2/5"

PC - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Io: Why the **** does everybody do deathmatch? By now you've probably heard all about Kane & Lynch's intriguing multiplayer mode, 'Fragile Alliance', which puts 8-players in the middle of a bank heist and lets them be as greedy or backstabbing as they fancy.

Lead designer Kim Krogh explained to CVG last week that Io Interactive had to keep the mode under wraps because it's "fairly easy to duplicate", and it was worried that other developers might steal it's ideas. "When we talked about this a couple of years ago it was like 'f**k, why didn't anyone do this before?!'" he said. "It seemed really obvious."
