Please Giant bomb make video reviews of these upcomming great games. I hate text reviews i want to acctualy see what you talking about with ingame footage rather then reading shit loads of blocks of text.
I want both, but I feel I get more from a video review. A text-only review has always felt to me a lot like a text-only review of a band you've never heard of. You really only walk away with the vaguest of ideas and the overall "good or bad?!" and the finer points are lost. However, I don't think a video review only is the way to go. Preferably, there'd be video and text reviews both of every game.
I prefer Giant Bomb's quick looks to the video reviews. They play the games as we would while filming and commenting, then we can read a full review later if interested in the full 'dissection'.

I feel a quick-look should be supplemental to a video review (if the game warrants bothering with a full quick look). Unless you're seriously interested in a particular title, a well thought out four minutes beats a meandering spur of the moment half our or more.
