How come they dont have Vinny review games?

I honestly cant remember the alst time Vinny reveiwed a game, (or if he has every even done one at all) is it that hes more the tech guy? Just saying if they had 4 reviewers instead of 3, maybe well be able to get more reviews faster.

That's not his job? That could be why he doesn't do many reviews. Although I'm not doubting more Vinny reviews wouldn't be fucking awesome. Because they so would be.

Pretty sure he's like the tech dude, he does the coding for videos, he does the filming for interviews, and things like that.

His reviews pop up here and there.  He reviewed Peggle, Fable II (even did a video review of it), and Burst Limit.  He's more of a tech guy though, so Ryan, Jeff, and Brad handle most the reviews.

Would seem cool if they had 4 reviewers instead of 3.

Vinny is the video guy.  Every once in a while he reviews games, like Fable 2.

Wait, isn't Drew the video guy? o.O

Vinny has taken Drew under his wing

Vinny just shows off his guns and increases morale around the office.

Sometimes Vinny reviews games that he seems very dedicated to. From what I can tell he just doesn't have the journalism background that Ryan, Brad, and Jeff do. It's pretty obvious why he wouldn't regularly review games.

just wait for dragonball

Vinny reviewing more games would be cool, but you know what we really need right? Yeah we need drew to review something yo.

I would rather have a Vinny Caravella Wiki page than Vinny reviewing more stuff.

He's not a writer. He's the video guy. Dave, Andy and Vinny have all done reviews at some point, but I'm sure they all took a bit fair bit of editing from the three professional writers in the team, to get them up to professional standard. I guess those guys only review games that the Jeff, Brad and Ryan have no interest in, or when there is a huge influx of games.

He isn't a reviewer.

Does it really matter if he does reviews? I mean he usally tells his thoughts on games over the podcast and/or quicklooks.

he does tang and thats more than enough for a decent salary. 

Fable 2, Peggle...at least when he does get a review he gets the good stuff.

I asked Ryan what Vinny does around the office on Twitter, and Ryan said:

"@MexicanHatBoy Vinny does everything. Seriously, the guy's a beast."

followed by Vinny saying:

"@MexicanHatBoy I mostly send pictures of Barbra Streisand to Ryan all day. Sometimes Gregory Hines. http://bit.ly/15kBf2"

So there you go. He has no time for reviews in between sending pictures of Barbra Streisand to Ryan.

Anything Dragonball related, Vinny will review.

Lolwut? Ryan does TANG... "

Vinny's the tech guy as many have said. But I think it's cool they even let him review things, and I think it's a positive thing for the staff and the site.
I'm sure that if Drew for example would be really into a game and wants to write a short review on it they'd let him and go over the wording etcetc. I'm sure it's not a bad experience for anyone.

Occasional reviews from others isn't bad at all. I('d) enjoy it.

Anyone else think the guy singing on the I Love Mondays intro sounds a tad like Vinny?

Vinny is probably just too busy filming, editing and coming up with video content for the site to do reviews.  Which is a damn shame because he and Brad are my favorite writers on the site.  Read Vinny's Fracture review; it's one of the funniest I've ever read.

I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, please, never have children. "

That's a pretty incredible response to a very easy to answer question. I thought it was Vinny for a while, I wasn't aware that simply asking the question was enough to line me up for sterilisation.

Out of interest, did you used to be known as MattyAtty on MSN?

It was an over exaggerated response. I do that sometimes. Get used to it, or I WILL sterilize you. And yeah, I used to go by the name Mattyatty. I still do on some sites that I signed up for a long while ago. Why? Who are you? And why are you stalking me? "

You're a very aggressive person, has anyone ever told you that? And when can we expect a return from The Daily Video Gamer? Ahh, memories.

In the interests of being on topic, I just watched VInny's Fable 2 review and it was very, very thorough, so some more would definitely be appreciated :)

Again, read the Fracture review, because it's rad.

Man, the memories are flooding back. I gave up on all that game/website developing stuff ages ago, when I realized I was the only person who cared about it. Apparently I wasn't the only one. Wow, it seems like ages ago. "

"Aye it does. I still remember when you got your A-Level grades. How's Chris these days by the way? "

1. I'm tired and need to go to bed
2. We should stop hijacking this forum thread to talk about personal stuff.

I'll send you a PM tomorrow. For two reasons:

1. I'm tired and need to go to bed
2. We should stop hijacking this forum thread to talk about personal stuff.

I quite agree, was gonna say the same thing in my edit.

Getting back on topic, I read the review that @iAmJohn recommended and yeah, it was great. I love this part:

"since humans over three years old rarely find themselves baffled when you vanish behind cover" :D

I'm anticipating that Dragon Ball Raging Blast review Vinny!

Vinny has done about 10 reviews.I wouldnt say that he doesent review games...

" Vinny has done about 10 reviews.I wouldnt say that he doesent review games... "

The only game he reviewed is Burst Limit.

Vinny doesn't review games because he can't read or write, way to be insensitive!

It'd be nice if he reviewed more often. He has some of my favorite reviews on the site. 

"Vinny just shows off his guns and increases morale around the office. "

" Vinny reviewing more games would be cool, but you know what we really need right? Yeah we need drew to review something yo. "

Fable II, Peggle and a few other XBLA games come to mind. Dragonball too. He reviews games but that isn't his focus. He edits videos and does more tech stuff. He does that very well, by the way.
