What is with the lack of video reviews on Wii games? I just looked and the PS3 has more than two times the number of video reviews from Gamespot editors than the Wii. What is the problem, Gamespot? There are almost 3 times as many Wii owners in the world as there are Playstation 3 owners. Why are you catering to the PS3? And the games you are reviewing for the PS3, most of them we have all played before. Good God, what is it that we don't know about the the EA Sports games except that the graphics are better? Thanks for letting me know that hockey is still played with a stick and a puck. I totally understand doing a video review of Resistance, but NBA 2007? Tiger Woods? Madden?!? What is it you are telling us that a few screenshots and trailers would not provide? Absolutely nothing.

On the other hand, Wii games with totally original gameplay like Wii Sports, Rayman Raving Rabids, hell even Madden on the Wii is more interesting on the Wii with the Wiimotes.

I'm not saying the Wii should get more attention than the PS3. But it certainly should get the same amount. Wake up, GS.

They only do video reviews for the biggest games.

Ok....so what's a "big" game?  The best sellers?   I doubt very seriously that the games sold for the PS3 are outselling the Wii games with its comparatively small base.

Hmmmm.  Good question.  Oh wait.....I just read your post.  Whoohoo!  I can read!

No, dude.  You missed the point.  Yeah, the reviews are there.  The video reviews are not.  Gamespot isn't putting the effort into the video reviews for the Wii.  My question is why.   Understand now?

Gamespot IS indeed putting effort into making video reviews for the Wii, it's just that not many Wii games deserve video reviews.  All of the major launch titles got video reviews, and you're here complaining that Rayman Raving Rabbids didn't get a video review?  It's almost as if you're looking for a way to bash GS.

They gave the burger king games a video review. Are those a top seller?

Personally, I am disappointed with the lack of video reviews for the Wii.

It seems as though GameSpot doesn't even regard the Wii as a 'proper' console - they do seem to focus their attention elsewhere.

I would've appreciated a video review for Sonic and the Secret Rings.  I'm not sure if I should pick it up or not.

Sonic and WarioWare seem to have deserved a review.  Both those games had a lot of hype and coverage.

Yeah, that's it.  GS killed my parents in a previous life and I WILL have my revenge!  (evil laugh) 

Back to reality....

As far as GS "putting effort" blah blah blah.   Way to sound like a corporate shill.   Who cares about "launch games".  I'm talking about EVERY game released.  WarioWare, the only AAA game the Wii has, doesn't have a video review, but Untold Legends on the PS3, which got a poor rating, does "deserve" a video review?  Maybe you should look into the facts before you post.
