Gamespot reviewer fired for giving Kane & Lynch an average review?

First of all please note that this is for the time being a rumour that has been circulating in the gaming world and has yet to be officially confirmed.

Primotech has a story that Jeff Gerstmann, the editorial director at Gamespot and also part of The Hotspot podcast team, was sacked from his job. The story claims it is because he gave Kane & Lynch: Dead Men only a 6 while Eidos, the publisher of the game, at the same time was pumping big amounts of money in Gamespot through advertising.

Penny Arcade’s comic strip is also running the story.

I won’t comment on this until it is confirmed. If anyone finds out anything more please let me know.
