This ad tells no lies, actually. On Gamespot, the reviews ARE the ads. Clearly, they are telling us that with their downwards pointing arrows into the featured reviews section. Conclusion: Umm, yeah, unless they are pointing to the black spot, they pulled a Freudian slip here - it costs money to run a site, but on a journalism site, integrity is key:

where the word "advertisement' is should have a flash advertisement

Gamespot is a sinking ship.

Actually, if you have Flash installed, an ad appears in that BIG, WIDE OPEN SPACE where it says "Advertisement." But I'm glad a gaming website is taking another to task on editorial integrity. I'm sure the traffic this needless criticism will generate will make their advertisers very happy.

I did think exactly that...

This flash advertisement is supposed to be where the word Advertisment is.

again, the author is an idiot

edit: the author'll need to remove image.com.com from his HOSTS file to see the proper page

But seriously, Consdering their recent reviews this Quarter, they are certainly not advertising :lol

Gamespot is a sinking ship.

Agreed.

I've only recently been checking their reviews and they're invariably devoid of any real opinion. They'll spend most of the text explaining storylines when, frankly, that's all largely irrelevant. There seems to be no critical value in what they deliver...

Yeah, I hate reviews that focus on explaining how the game unfolds without giving any sort of useful opinion or criticism. That's why for 90% of IGN reviews I simply skip to the "closing comments" and the categorised scoring, since any of the important points they buried in the bulk of the review are mentioned again in that conclusion.
