Allegedly, publisher Eidos "took issue with the review and threatened to pull its ad campaign."
Isn't this more Eidos' fault for making a crappy game to begin with? Go and fire your programmers, not the guy who had to sit through and write a review for it.

No big loss though, I never really liked Gamespot and I like it even less now. GS has had a lot of inaccurate reviews. The worst I've seen was a "The whole game plays out like a tutorial" (indicating that the reviewer never went past the first level), and I've never taken a GS review seriously since then. They give good reviews to overhyped games and almost not a glance to the unheard ones.
If you want a good game rating site, I find www.metacritic.com to be quite accurate.

Gerstmann's a terrible reviewer but then again so are all "game journalists" so I'm conflicted
