I don’t know what to think. Clearly the review has something to do with his firing, that much is clear by now. Whether it was just the final straw on management’s side of his sliding quality scale or if it was something more sinister, is a question that will probably never, ever be answered. I’m getting too invested in this, so I think I’ll stop paying attention to it and just say it sucks because I’m a big fan of Jeff, and he was the last interesting person there so I doubt I’ll be listening to the podcast anymore.

The “His Gamer Tag Proves…” argument is just nonsense. Most reviewing happens on debug machines on Partnernet, which is a completely separate place. Looking at a reviewer’s profile is a deeply unreliable way to work out how much of the game they’ve played.

Regarding the video, if he’d used footage from the end of the game, I dare say the same fanboys would have hung him up to dry for spoilers. Between that and basic laziness meaning they’d only want to set the capture footage thing once, that it’s from one level doesn’t really mean anything.

And most categorically, it implies that the suits would care whether or not he’d completed the game.

Did Eidos just go and make this worse?

I do want to get to the bottom of this. Someone official needs to actually come out and say something for real, or Jeff even. On one hand it definitely seems like many arrows are pointing to his being fired, due to the massive loss in advertising from Eidos. On the other hand I’ve heard that the main reason he was fired was because he never played past the second level of the game (as his gamertag would indicate), but claimed he finished it. If watching the review, that is somewhat supported in that there is no footage beyond level 2.

There was a lot of good stuff in Kane and Lynch, really. I have been keeping track of most AAA titles the last few weeks, and this was the first one to surprise me; game mechanics were flawed to the bone. But at least the game stood out of the huge heap of political correct nonsense dung that seems to litter all the other AAA titles.

So game is as two-faced, two-sided, fragmented, plural as the game is, at least this game made me snicker. At least this game had me explain to my comrade Lynch how to shoot his gun, instead of being told every damn time how to do it when buy another computer game. At least I was an asshole in this game and there was no annoying Alyx person telling me how much she would like to swallow my balls on the first occasion she confused my scrotum for the flashlight. At least my friend shot all the witnesses, which I expected him to do, so that was good; and he doesn’t just stand around next time someone is perishing on the floor, but he aims that shotgun at their face and makes a nice big hole.

I saved my daughter from a monstrously big truck, and then almost cryed of admiration when my characters take the same damn truck to drive into a prison complex. This is art direction that embraces absurdity and they win. Assholes being pissed of at other assholes. The game was such a gem, that I was pissed off at the end, when I didn’t pay attention and finished the game, took off with my daughter in a chopper. I was so pissed off the credits rolled that when I shut down the game I realized that it was crazy, so I went back and checked out the title of the last chapter, which was ‘choice’.

Kane and Lych has the kind of flavour that Reservoir Dogs has, nonetheless far less profound, far less artsy; but it excels amongst every AAA title at the moment simply on the basis of ‘complete intellectual experience’. And THAT, is crazy.

I have abandoned the major gaming websites long ago, it’s a large conglomeration of chromosomic failure and every word I read there pisses me off beyond terms managable for translation into w.o.r.d.s.
