Shows they aren't letting themselves be influenced by advertisers. Good on them! Lets just hope that 4/10 doesn't change.

I'm sure this happens all the time. It shouldn't be a big deal. That's why it was so shocking when Jeff's situation played out the way it did.  :(

It's not entirely a joke, since the circumstances are pretty similar. It only becomes a joke if somebody posts a pic of Jeff Europed up.

That move deserves respect if Euro Jeff isn't fired :)
 
Kevin Van Ord didn't have the balls to pull a Jeff since he praises the game, giving it a little too high of a score.

I don't think it'll happen, Eurogamer is pretty good about that sort of stuff.

I agree, but I gotta give it's reference a pass this time - if for no other reason than "man that's a lot of Mafia II" in that screenshot.

Does that mean Euro Jeff will be making his own awesome website with Euro versions of Vinny, Ryan and Brad?

You know Eurogamer is a British site right.....There's a French and a German version too. But Eurogamer.net is based in Brighton. Also, they hate everything. Or at least seem to at times.

But at the same time, what if they felt in giving it a higher review, it'd be seem to be taking influence and thus lowered the score by a mark or two?
 
It works the other way as well.

This is why Gerstmann was fired from GameSpot. 
 
  

  That being said, I highly disagree with the Eurogamer's editor review of Mafia II.

 Let it go? Did you say "let it go"? Nothing is let go until we decide it is! Did we let it go when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

The game deserves higher than a 4.. Eurogamer is getting annoying with it's either, ridiculously low scores, or ridiculously high scores.

Kind of funny in a really weird internet way, though.

It's good to know that some reviewers have integrity when they write their review, they aren't pressured into giving higher scores because the publishers of that game stick advertising all over the site. However concerning Mafia 2, that game has to be atleast worth 7/10 so the eurogamer's score does seem a little low.
