I was pondering this earlier as I was watching a classic one (which would be most of them). As far as my knowledge, there is no other site like this in that sense. Oh yeah, and that whole "easily editable video game database" thing, too. :)

I'm not sure, but my instinct says, "No." One of the reasons many of us post on Giant Bomb*.

As far as I'm aware, no, and that's just another reason of why Giant Bomb is so good.  :)

Well youtube and something awful do let'splays which are basically endurance runs. And people like Angry Video Game Nerd go back and take looks at classic games.

Yeah 1UP has gamer nights but those are usually pretty long looks at a game (not to say that some QLs aren't as short as they should be).  And Youtube always has "gameplay" videos for many games including ones that haven't been released.  I don't know if Gamespot still does their weekly show, On the Spot with video previews.  I'd suggest taking a look at Area5/Revision3's video game show, Co-Op for footage of games in play.

20 mins is about right for the quick looks, I wouldnt want them any shorter.
Do they often go much over that(> 5min)?

No need to go to other sites.
