Re: Video reviews, good or bad?

The Hound review is exactly what I am thinking video reviews should be. The guy stumbles a few tims. But, you get a good review "in-fiddle". (Asides: Ravage looks really interesting, if diminished for the lack of guns and colors. Hounds transform has some really worrisome cracking noises at the beginning.)
The Cyclonus review suffered a bit more for the lack of focus, both visual and verbal. But, at this stage, I expect the reviewers to jump around a bit. The bit about liking the colors was a bit tacked on, but not terribly so.
Oh, by Primus, that theme on the TFA combine review is friggin' awful. I can forgive the reviewer being inarticulate. I assume he does not speak English as a primary language. He is making an earnest attempt. But, the opening them song is dreadful. The redundant "this guy is named......" was....well redundant. I can forgive the inarticulate description, but the redundant naming of the figures was leading be in circles. Along similar lines, the review goes on for longer than it needs to, using words for elements best handled visually. The camera lady jumping in does not help in the face of an inarticulate and redundant commentary.
Yessirree, an earnest attempt that I can respect, but redundant and tedious in places.
