This is a sad day for all video game journos as some of the most talented individuals in the industry have been let go by a clueless business decision. *"tits of the week" is not a real publication, but I can see UGO doing it since, you know... men are the only people who play video games. Men with BALLS.

Seems like a long time coming and isn't really a surprise to me at this point.
