Jeff Gerstmann (born August 1975) is a senior editor at popular gaming website GameSpot. He began working at GameSpot in the fall of 1996, around the launch of VideoGameSpot (back when GameSpot separated PC and console games into completely separate entities). He is known to be obsessed with the Microsoft Gamerscore system, and at his Gamespot page every week, provides an update on how many points he currently has. He also shares his thoughts about other things, and this can be seen every Monday at his Gamespot blog.
He is a founding member of the bands Headboard, The Suburban All-Stars, and Midnight Brown. Additionally, Gerstmann's vocal stylings can be heard on the theme songs for both Time Trotters and GameSpot's game show, Button Mashing. Gerstmann also appeared on ABC's Good Morning America as a guest in September 1999 to discuss the launch of Sega's Dreamcast gaming console.
He obtained his own (now defunct) newsgroup at alt.sports.gerstmann, which housed several crossposts from alt.religion.kibology. It was believed to be created in or around 1994 by Usenet icon, Tjames Madison.
On November 17, 2006 Jeff reviewed a very popular game called The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. He gave it a score of 8.8/10, the lowest the game has recived thusfar. After the review fans of the game went on a rampage claiming that he should be fired and threatening him.
