Neither could I, but for him to lose his job over some corporate backlash is asinine.

Re: Gerstmann GameSpot Controversy

I was worried when CGW became Games for Windows and owned by MS but the editor regularly takes MS to task. It's a pretty entertaining read. I tend to skip the reviews and just read the letters, editorial, back page and the shots at WoW in the humor section in the middle.
