GameFly: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect Unshakeable N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PS3 - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - GameFly: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect Unshakeable This week's top rental charts from U.S. game rental company GameFly, representing the most requested games for the week ending December 3rd, highlight both to-be-released and already released games in a unique demand-specific chart.

This week's top five all-platform requests show little movement once again, after last week saw the list barely ruffled. Assassin's Creed still takes the top spot for a third week with Mass Effect in second for its second week in a row.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which spent the last two weeks at number four, slips a bit to the fourth spot to make room for Kane and Lynch: Dead Men to move up one spot into the fourth spot, but that's the only movement -- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune stays at number five, where it entered last week.

Kotaku: Did we give Kane and Lynch 5 Stars? N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PS3 - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Kotaku: Did we give Kane and Lynch 5 Stars? It seems like Eidos was making a false advertisement about Kane and Lynch.

Kotaku:With review integrity in crisis, who can you trust? Not those score whores at Kotaku, that's for sure. Not only did they give Kane & Lynch a glowing endorsement in their exclusive review, they went and gave it a perfect five star rating! Or, least Eidos seem to think so. For those curious, the quote actually comes from Joel's hands-on time with the game at E3. In July. Where no stars were handed out. Not even one. Oh Eidos.

Kane & Lynch Site Fibbing About Reviews, Scores N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PS3 - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Kane & Lynch Site Fibbing About Reviews, Scores It's not like the relationship between Kane & Lynch and review scores wasn't messy enough. But now this? Visitors to the game's official site will notice, once the page's flash intro is done, that two review scores for the game are flashed for your perusal. One from GameSpy, one from Game Informer. Both look positively glowing! Both give the game a very encouraging five stars! Thing is, both are...well, not real. They're fabricated. Lies, if you will.

GameSpy did not say "It's the best emulation of being in the midst of a Michael Mann movie we've ever seen" in their review of the game. They said that in their E3 2007 coverage. In other words, a preview. They also did not give the game five stars. They gave it three.

As for Game Informer, same deal. The highlighted quote does not appear in the review of the game. Nor do they give it five stars. Game Informer don't even score in stars. They gave it a 7/10.

Exclusive: Gertsmann speaks about K&L review, future N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PS3 - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Exclusive: Gertsmann speaks about K&L review, future "Losing a job you've held for over 11 years in an abrupt manner is shocking, yes."

While the above quote should perhaps win Jeff Gerstmann the 'understatement of the year' award, the former Gamespot editorial director is still staying silent about the specifics surrounding his recent firing (citing the previously mentioned "legal reasons," among others). He has, however, told Joystiq that he still stands behind his controversial review of Kane & Lynch.

PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Petition to Remove GameSpot and its Sponsors from Metacritic N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PS3 - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Petition to Remove GameSpot and its Sponsors from Metacritic The author of the petition writes: "We the games community, based on the recent events that have transpired with the game review conglomerate GameSpot.com hereby present the following petition to Metacritic's chief operations officer in charge of content.

On November 29, 2007 GameSpot.com fired its chief editor in charge of game reviews Jeff Gerstmann. Because of a number of issues relating to game reviews, a number of employees left GameSpot completely even while their reviews are still up on that site. In the process, it became immediately clear that GameSpot's reviews are largely inconsistent as well as possibly fraudulent for certain games across all platforms.

We as gamers can not, and will not tolerate shady business practices in the video games industry as in the end that ruins gaming for everyone who will not tow the line".

Sony, Pepsi, Dell, Support Gamespot N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Kane & Lynch: Dead Men
PS3 - Kane & Lynch: Dead Men - Sony, Pepsi, Dell, Support Gamespot Not all advertisers are headed out the door, over the Gamespot controversy. Several companies, like Mountain Dew (Pepsi), Dell, and Sony are devouring the now available inventory left by the exodus of game ads.

From the article: "Despite boycotts and canceled subscriptions, it seems at least some companies recognize a hot topic when they see one. Unfortunately for those companies, many gamers are taking mental notes."

"If they want to support Gamespot's total breakdown in editorial credibility, then they have to understand that there are consequences involved," said 'HulleyToe', a gamer from San Mateo, CA. "It may not hurt them now, but just as advertisers use their dollars to influence companies like Gamespot and CNET, I can use my money to influence the advertisers."
