So does that mean they might get a little desperate to hire giving those that don't have much if any experience a foot in the door of the industry and hopefully by bringing in fresh people they can maybe eventually turn their image around?

Game reviewers have fans?

If a game reviewers taste matches yours and their reviews match your final opinion of certain games.
You start to respect them and listen to what they have to say.

In that sense, yes you can be a fan of a game reviewer.

I think it's possible to follow those that appeal to you, either in print or video. Even certain bloggers :)

Gamespot just happened to have a number of personalities. For me, there were several that I enjoyed whenever they had a new video.

They really shot themselves in the foot last year. And I just cannot bring myself to go back. It's a shame too, because it was one of my favorite sites. But I've moved on.

I really wish this would signal a mass exodus of users from Gamespot. I've been against them on this from the start, yet I still find myself checking the site every day.

Good luck Brad! I'm sure you'll turn up at a respectable site in the near future. I'm glad honest journalists aren't afraid to escape idiots like Stephen Colvin who are trying to run the site into the ground.

Visit Jeff and co. at GiantBomb.com.

His lack of excitement was always rather funny.

Wasn't he the one with the oddly low-pitched voice? It sounded so fake.

That's not even counting Greg Kasavin, who left at the beginning of 07. This is pretty painful, because gamespot used to lead the way with harsh reviews, video reviews (before they were common), and community. Now they're a joke. Why not just have the PR people pitch the games instead of reviews?

I do and they reviews are getting worse not to mention that their material is quite lame.

Gamespot more like Gamepro AmIRite?

This is getting stupid. Game biz PR news is somehow news. Are you *that* desperate for something to post? Even worse since you have *NO* reason to assume that he's leaving for any other reason than he's been there for eight years. Writing press releases for 14 year old boys might get tiring after awhile.

Stupid! We must walk the path of pointing fingers at CNET! It doesn't matter anymore. If you leave gamespot, then its because of Greg. CNET did this themselves! Its to late to stop this!

Sure. Nearly all the senior editors left within 2 months of each other, all by "coincidence".

The situation is so obvious that it doesnt really need to be explained. However I'll help you out a bit.

Gamespot fired a popular senior editor. His coworkers got pissed and left.

Do you think they are playing "Last one out of GameSpot is a douchebag?"

The only people who still go there are the ones who post first in the response section. Time for Gamespot and cNet to go Bye-Bye.

I wish the layout and navigation of other sites was as good as Gamespot. I really want to try other places, but I still go back to Gamespot. IGN and 1Up just suck for navigation, so I haven't been able to find somewhere else to go!

The never ending cycle of Gerstmann gate! Gamespot has been enjoying a slow death ever since then.
