Holy crap.
Now, instead of paying for good reviews, Eidos is just making them up. Kotaku and a number of other sites including Game Informer and Gamespy are listed as giving Kane and Lynch five star reviews.
The problem?
None of these “Five Star” reviews ever happened.
I guess when your credibility is in the toilet, you’ve got nothing to lose.
How did it all go wrong for a once great company?
Eidos, I’ve got your five star review right here, except it doesn’t have stars and is basically just my middle finger. So, I guess it’s more like a one finger salute. Unless you say it isn’t on Kaneandlynch.com!
I can see it now: “Sarcasticgamer gives it Five Stars” with a picture of my middle finger.
Wow.

Gee, I think everyone believes the rumors now. This is just sad. At least I’m not basing my buying decision on this.
Most annoying review lie ever read was for Paradise, it quoted JustAdventure+’s PREVIEW in such a way to make it look like it was the review. Their review gave it a D.

What? what are you talking about lwelyk? this is not a rumor theres the link right there, Kotaku does not have a star rating system btw.

I guess I wasn’t clear enough. I meant that thanks to this stupid move everyone is going to believe the rumors and it’s their fault. I meant that this makes the rumors much more credible. And when I said “basing my buying decision” I was referring to the faked reviews.
