First off - I think I know how much work Vinny has as head captain of the S.S. Fuckloads of Video Content - but I still, never noticed until about last week - that Vinny doesn't regularly review games!
I guess I just thought he did because he's one of the Bombcast Four - but still, that I haven't noticed until now - I hope I'm not alone in this moment of... embarrassment?
Vinny Caravella
Vincent Caravella is one of the original members of Giant Bomb. He served as the sites lead video producer and host of the Giant Beastcast until his departure in 2021.
I never noticed that Vinny doesn't regularly review games.
He's even got his own set of review avatars, but I think Dave and Alex both have more reviews than him.
Vinny is a video man first and foremost. Any extra content from him is awesome.
Consensus is - it'd be cool if he had the time to review games, but we understand that he probably doesn't and we all still love Vinny the Video guy :D

His Fable 2 video review was pretty funny. I'd rather listen to Vinny talk about games he's played. He's a fun guy to listen to.
He is the Video guy, maybe he doesn't have the best writing skill. I would love to write a couple user reviews for the site, but i'm not great at getting my point across through the written word.
It's a shame, really. I actually find myself connecting with Vinny's reviews more than the others' simply because he has a way with words that makes them sound less "critic-y" and more straightforward and blunt, which is perfectly fine to me. Also, he has a charming, off-beat sense of humor.
" @dpedal1Yes, all of these.@Devil240Z said:Both of these ""... Quick looks and the bombcast are whats important to me. "
This. Whenever there is a game I am interested in I find myself looking more to GB's quicklooks than to reviews nowadays.
Seeing an uncut piece of a game and hearing the player talk about it is as much of an impression i need to get a game. Especially when they dig even deeper on the bombcast.
Reviews are just a heritage from the magazine days.. they're done! A thing of the past! VIVIA LA REVOLUTION!!
