I really enjoy the GB crew's opinions on games and would much rather watch a video review than nearly always having to read a written one...not because I'm lazy, I'm just an audio/visual type of guy. Does anyone else wish that GB would post more video reviews?

I'm pretty happy with the amount they do.  Also the staff writes well, so reading a review is good enough for me.

It would be nice. Problem is, the GB crew is very small so they don't have much time to do so. Giant Bomb feels more like a site about games and news involving games rather than reviews and such like Gamespot to me so...yeah. I do agree with you though. With 20+ years of videogame jounalism under thier belt I'm happy enough reading the reviews.

No, doing video reviews on just the high profile stuff is fine.

It would be nice, but I'd prefer more crazy, off the wall stuff - like the 2Human thing, or "Talkin' bout Duke" or stuff like that.

More video reviews ----> less time for office vids, TANG, ER or whatever else

very true, and those are all things that make GB the glorious site that it is. the day that video reviews get in the way of videos like the age of booty preview video getting made is the day that GB will be just like any other game site.

I'm satisfied with what they're doing right now, but more would be kick ass.

I'm in agreement with you on this one, I prefer video content to text, but I also recognize the fact that videos take up more time in the office. Writing, recording, cutting, editing take up quite a bit more time than writing up a review, passing it along to editors, and posting it. The more video we see here, the less time for more content there will be.

I think this site could use more video reviews as well but im pretty sure we'll have plenty in september/october.
