They only have the quick look up but no review. any ideas?

Same reason they haven't reviewed Vanquish I guess. Haven't got around to it yet?

they don't do reviews for all games. usually a quick look will be enough to show what the staff think about a game. 

They don't review every game they do a quick look of. Most of the time, a quick look is enough. 
 
Edit: God Dommot I must be faster next time.

Not a game they're all too arsed about. There's plenty of 'em, and its no surprise when they've got so many games they have to personally select to invest time into reviewing.

They don't have to and they aren't too enthused by it.

Few podcasts ago made it sound like Alex is on the Castlevania review if it gets a review at all.
add to the fact that the podcasts makes a good source for general consensus on the quality of games.

Because digging through 2 and a half hours of podcast is a completely efficient way to get an opinion on one specific game.  "

To those saying that they don't review every game out there, keep in mind that this is one of those games they said they'd review.

Long game is long.

" @TheNegativeDude: They're still working on the review for Red Dead Redemption. "

Brad and Alex's review of Castlevania sounded like this:  "it's alright".

There are a lot of new releases out at the moment and they don't have the time or resources to review every single game that comes out.

There's a Quick Look. If you don't have time for that either, why not just ask one of the staff directly? I don't know if you'd get an answer, but it's better than nothing. "

It doesn't sound like any of them particularly like it so I'm not surprised there's no review.

yeah just noticed no review for Vanquish either. i just figured castlvania was a big enough game for them to review. i know they dont review all games, but they usually skip smaller titles.

They have

Alex was gonna review it but in the middle of playing it, it sounds like he just said "fuck this game" and stopped. Probably would have gotten 3 or 2 stars.

Castlevania is complete shit dont buy it. Let's move on.

At least Castlevania: Lords of Shadow got a quick look. Vanquish deserved the same but no dice.

Since they don't review every game, it's sort of why Quick Looks are good because they often take the place of a review. Especially a game like Castlevania Lords of Shadow which takes so long to beat they just don't have the time, I'm guessing. There are some user reviews for it on here (like mine!)

Have they done a Quick Look of the full version of Vanquish yet? That's a game Ryan seemed quite positive about, not to mention it's also a rather short game to beat the first time through (4 to 5 hours should do the trick).

Who cares? Why do people want a review of every single game from this site? many sites have reviewed these games...there is no shortage of scores and articles you can read from else where. They have certainly talked enough about these un-reviewed titles that you can easily form a star rating from the way they sound, if it is that important.

 Here are your reviews. 
 

There's only three full-time reviewers, so yeah. I question their priority sometimes, but Giant Bomb has never really been about reviews anyways. 

I'm still waiting for the Red Dead Redemption review.

I'm still waiting for the Henry Hatsworth review.

It would be about as worthwhile as a Demon's Souls review.  I wouldn't even want to see it done.

a) it's long 
b) there's a shit ton of better games that just came out.

I think the quick look is good enough, shows you what the game is like and how the staff really feel about the game. Lately they've had a lot of games to review, how they managed to review Fallout: New Vegas amongst the rest of them is quite remarkable given how many reviewers there are for Giant Bomb. Occasionally they'll get help from Alex Navarro but it's mainly Jeff, Ryan and Brad. 

I actually thought it was a pretty damn good game; Maybe not quite as good as say, God of War III, but good. I don't think the length of the game really has anything to do with it to be honest. I mean if a game such as Fallout: New Vegas can get a review and a quick look, then clearly playtime is not the issue. I don't know whether this speaks to the staff's dislike of the game itself, just that I believe its more likely that they have to many games to review as well as other duties.
 
Edit: Ack... to slow (In regards to previous poster mentioning Fallout: New Vegas)

After watching the QL of Castlevania, I don't think anyone at GB is motivated enough to write up a review for the game.  Not every game needs a written review.  I get more info from QLs and the Bombcast then the official reviews.

Also, I know I've heard it mentioned a few times on the bombcast that if they get caught up doing reviews for a couple of games, and it gets to be a few weeks after a game comes out, there probably won't be an official review. 
I'm pretty sure the last time this came up was actually with Red Dead, where by the time they could spare someone for it, they didn't feel it would be worth it.
