Do you like to hear the same talking points and rumors repeated over and over again? Great! Simply visit any gaming-related website all this week (not owned by CNET), and you can read nonstop bullsh*t about Gamespot’s little mix-up. Who would have thought that journalistic integrity was such a big deal?

For the past 48 hours, no real news has managed to leak through the Jeff Gerstmann Iron Curtain. Sony is ditching SIXAXIS for Wiimotes, Super Mario Galaxy dropped to 54 on Metacritic, and EA started a new genocide in Darfur, but who cares! Let’s all just cash in and make money from the situation. If Gamespot can do it, so can we.

Jeromy ‘Doc’ Adams from Sarcastic Gamer has had no problem accomplishing that goal. Traffic has been easy to come by.

“It was a very difficult decision to put up six articles about Gerstmann in 48 hours,” said Adams, “but at this rate, we’ll have advertisers to sell out to in no time.”

If you do happen to like gaming news that is actually gaming news, there is one place still not talking about this mess: Gamespot. It’s the only place to go if you want your updates current, thrilling, and perhaps a little tainted.
