Template:Vprotected 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 every week at his Gamespot page provides an update on his current tally of points. He also shares his thoughts on a variety of other subjects every Monday on 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.
A recently controversy came in regard to his review of Wii games. Even before the console being actually released, during a report on a Nintendo press conference, he was complaining a lot about Wii. Another example of his dislike of Wii can be seen in the low score given to The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which is said to be the lowest when compared to other reviews for the game (Average is 9.6/10; his score is 8.8/10). His complain about the game is that the remote is not responsive and a lack of voice acting.
