Only a written one...

I'm thinking maybe either PC exclusive editors choice games aren't worthy or maybe they give PC gamers credit for being able to read.

Sorry for the elitism.

My guess is that the guy who did the review must be a freelancer or something, and working outside of Gamespot's headquarters.. For a video review they have to show their face, go in the studio, and with this reviewer it might not be possible.

Because GS doesnt endorse PC games as much as console games.

Well not a lot of them anyways.

Any PC game by Blizzard or Valve will get a video review now-a-days. The other developers won't 90% of the time.

Haha, no i mean he has to come personally to the recording studio, but he may be a freelancer from abroad or a different city so it might not be possible :)

If you're looking for the best coverage of PC games at Gamespot, you won't find it anymore as others have said. While I'm grateful that they've reviewed other PC games like the Indie Amensia, it's sad when a PSP game gets Video Reviewed days ahead of its release, while one of the biggest PC games of the Year gets an outsourced reviewer.. It's all about the Marketing $$.
