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..
Left 4 Dead
Game » consists of 14 releases. Released Nov 18, 2008
Left 4 Dead puts players in the role of one of four survivors during a zombie apocalypse. Survivors will depend on co-operation to get from one safe house to another, while facing hordes of "Infected", four of which can be controlled by human players in certain game modes.
Video Review?

"What you're all too lazy to read a text review? Wow."No I read the review, I was just wondering why there wasn't a video.

"IGN has had a video review since the 17th."Even if they do Gametrailers doesn't have one, and neither does "the other site".
"IGN has had a video review since the 17th."Jason Ocampo did it, it was pretty good
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.
"GB had a informal video review much like they had with LBP.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.

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.
"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."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.
