Here's the video review.
Gametrailers.com - Gerstmann's Review of Kane & Lynch by gamerx0 (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/137943.html?playlist=featured)
6/10
Eidos has been HEAVILY advertising K&L all over Gamespot for weeks now,
Shortly after this review however it was reported that he had been fired and his review had been pulled.
Penny arcade then made a comic making fun of the incident and back up their comic as being based on true events.

So.. this raises the question. Just how many review scores out there for professional reviews are actually "bought". How unethical is it to lie in a review and up the score of a game that doesn't deserve it just to make a few extra dollars?
