For shame.
Well, I see Dragon Ball Z: BT3 and Manhunt 2 on there. And they are just posing the question "which game was worth the wait?"
Seems perfectly fine, to me.
yeah, they arn't handeling the situation very well at all. scince this whole debacle started i've stayed away (the only reason i was there was to read System Wars, fun times) and its been pretty easy with the help of dtiod and n4g. just goes to show that money can influence anything.
Riser Glen is correct.
I can tell you what game on the list was NOT worth the wait Riser... Kane & Lynch
I stopped going on GameSpot after Greg K left. Where the hell is Contra 4? GameSpot have generally always sucked.
They put Quake, Madden & Heavenly Sword on there?
Corporations have always sucked dick.
Can someone please point me to the problem that you guys are seeing?
I agree with Riser, they've only listed games for their members to vote on, thats all, they've not come and stated that Kane & Lynch is their editors choice for game of the year, this has just become a case of lynching the site for the sake of it now.
Could this be their way of apologizing to Eidos or something?
Which of this year's highly anticipated games was truly worth the wait?
Kane and Lynch has not been worth the wait... Is there even a question about this? Honestly. If the answer is a resounding no(which the reviews all point to) why is it on the page?
It just looks like more advertising to me. ;/
Yes there can easily be a question about it as it was hyped so much Eidos etc. that is can easily be asked was it truly worth the wait.
If it hadn't been hyped then I doubt it would have featured on the list
It's not even the final vote. The poll is clearly marked "Preliminaries". It's put up there for the sake of objectivity. And I have a feeling that there would be a shitstorm if Kane and Lynch was omitted from the poll.
I'm all for bashing CNet, but this is just grasping at straws.

Exactly how I feel. Some things are just finding any tiny issue and blowing it up to a big deal when it isn't really
but..
it sucked ...
I see your point but I still don't think that Kane & Lynch and a few other of the titles deserves even to make the prelims. The "Objective" line has to be drawn somewhere.... somewhere not including Kane and Lynch and other garbage games.
Again, it just looks like advertising to me.
Advertising what? Their contract with Eidos ended before this poll was even put on the site.

It is a poll about highly anticipated games. From what I read Kane and Lynch was highly anticipated before its release. As such it deserves to be placed in the poll so the public can vote for whether it was truly worth the wait.
I see no wrong doing here from GameSpot
even if it didnt meet expectations you cant deny it was a high profile title. its still a big name game even if got poor reviews.
Im getting fed up with this kane and lynch crap.
Some other shit games made it on too, not surprised.
What Riser Glen and everyone agreeing with Riser Glen said. This is a poll for users to vote on the anticipated titles of 2007, not making claims about the quality.
WHAT THE FUCK!!! seriously, why is Dragonball Z and Manhunt on there? oh wait, i know why:
I agree with Riser.
FOR SHAME!
Ok - I have to keep this short. Procrastination on a paper due Wednesday has more then run its course.
I agree with you all that Gamespot perfectly validates having Kane & Linch on the list by using the '2007 most anticipated games' as a platform to do the voting.
Having said that seeing KL on the list turns my stomach just like seeing the Simpson games on the list. While being anticipated they quite clearly [n]do not...[\b]come anywhere near the "truly worth the wait" category. In the end, Gamespot could have easily not referenced the article and shortlisted the games that really deserve to be mentioned. In my mind their current setup gives exposure to games that are not worthy to be in the discussion.
;-/ I'll respond when I can.
Dude, there's nothing wrong going on here. Chill out.
It just shows how money moves any system and infinitely how puerile any non community run news and review system can and will ultimately break down in the presence of justice and fair play.
I have been hearing this more and more as time goes on. One should take care not to bash a game for fear they will be sued for affecting their sales. This is by definition my use of justice. If you make a game that cannot hold its own then you are deserving of a bad review and pitiful sales figures. Fair play refers to the fact that just because you release it doesn't mean we have to buy it. This is often the case in the movie industry when a movie bombs.
So now their focus is to target the public. It is a "You will like it cause we say you will like it" mentality that will really be the cause for change in the way video games are selected and developed in the future. They companies are talking to a group of people with the highest BS meter and average IQ on the planet. That's right GAMERS!
To me though the backlash needs to fall on Gamespot. Just makes me wonder what else they are trying to slip me.
