Fortunately the drought of good games releasing this week didn’t stop there from being plenty of news, as we are now fully recovered from Thanksgiving. As we near December 4th more information is pouring out about the Xbox 360 dashboard update, from exciting new features to incredibly bland and unneeded ones. Plenty more happened, but the one event that caused the gaming communities of the internet to collectively explode with hate, anger, and many other strong emotions was the firing of Jeff Gerstmann from GameSpot. While the exact details are still vague and still just rumors, gamers nearly unanimously supported Gerstmann and made their contempt for GameSpot and CNET’s actions clear. Hit the jump for all that and everything else we’ve written since the 25th of last month.
