    OK, Left4Dead has been out for a while now and sites all have a text review, but none have a video review (including Giant Bomb). Is there some sort of embargo preventing video reviews? If so why? There are already written reviews and the game is already available to the public.

    P.S. What was the deal with only having the demo available to the general public for a week?


    I don't mean to be negative, it is still a wicked great game, I am just wondering..

    No, you won't.  You'll just bitch about it in the forums, like the rest of us, until Jeff puts us all in our place...or Brad drops an F-bomb and makes us shit ourselves.

    Sad but true. They have total control over us because of our fascination of Brads super sexy voice.

    But those F-bombs are deadly to both our trousers and the environment.

    GB had a informal video review much like they had with LBP.

    And if that doesn't satisfy you, then you should learn to read.

    Right... I dont know how to read yet im posting on a forum. Gotta love that logic.

    What they posted was just gameplay, ive already seen gameplay videos, id just like to watch a video review for entertainment value. Its the same reason we listen to the bombcast, its entertaining to listen to their perspective of the gaming industry and to hear news about games. Well its entertaining to watch them explain in detail reasons why the game is great.

    They can't make video reviews for every single game that they review...if we don't have one already we probably won't get one. It's not that big of a deal either.

    Gamespot have a video review and I think the reason why GB haven't put a video review is because they thought it didn't need one maybe? And if they were going to do a video review they would've done one by now.

    I know but I can dream.


    And I'm sorry I didn't see the Gamespot one when I looked. Now I know, so my suspicions have been disproven which is really what this was about, so thank you.
