Poll: Which type of review do you prefer?

Just curious what people's preference is, written or video reviews?

I personally like to read the reviews. I feel like there is less spoilers than with visuals and it just feels more official.

Ha, I actually like video reviews. I don't think they're as in depth, but I'm just lazy, really. It's easier and more pleasing to the eyes to be watching this game I'm interested in and it's being reviewed at the same time.

Yeah i perfer video reviews now because i can just never be bothered reading the reviews anymore.
But i will read the pros and cons bit.

Overall I prefer written reviews for their more in-depth description, but I like video reviews alot, too.
But yeahh, I find video reviews are far more inclined to show spoilers or exciting events in a game that I'd rather experience myself for the first time I see it. (eg. Gametrailers review of Uncharted 2 showed off way too much of some ofthe games biggest scenes)

Written, all the way. I very rarely watch video reviews. Only if I really need to see alot of gameplay out of curiosity. raven_squad

Written gets down to every last detail while video reviews are quik and to the point. It really depends on the game, if it something I really want I will read it but if it is a game I dont really care about but is hyped I will watch the video review.wooooode

Written reviews. I actually enjoy reading, and like someone said they are more detailed.

i love video reviews as well, i can see the game in action... additionally i do not think there are spoilers in those reviews, at least the ones i've both watched and readwere almost identical, mostly word by word...

Video reviews because I can see the actual gameplay and also because it's easier than reading.

I like both, and I usually read both if I'm really interested in the game. But I like to see some gameplay with it, so I say video reviews

I like my own reviews.

Me, naturally. :P

Depends.

If I'm still doubtful on getting the game, I read and watch.

If I already decided to get the game prior to it's release, written.

If I really really liked the game prior to it's release (usually a sequel), the none. I don't to get spoiled. I bought the latest Ratchet and Clank without checking any reviews of it. :)

I always do both. But I voted Video cuz I like to see the gameplay portions of the video.

I like my own reviews.

Video, definitely. Video games are a visual medium, so it makes much more sense to actually SEE what the game is like. I get a lot more information from watching video of the gameplay than I do from 1,000 words of some guy giving his opinion - which may be completely different from mine.

vid reviews...i just don't have the patience to read a whole review when i can get the jist of it on vid review

Written, all the way. I very rarely watch video reviews. Only if I really need to see alot of gameplay out of curiosity. raven_squad

OMG! Yeah they ruined half the jokes, that part where the train car flips over and Flyn turning on you GRRR!

I usually watch video reviews because I'm lazy but written ones are almost always better except for seeing the game-play in action.

If I know nothing about the game then yes video but if its a game like MGS4 then i dont look at reviews at all, because most webs site like too give stuff away from the story in there reviews just look at game trailers..

Video review i have to see the gameplay

Written. You get more detail out of it and it's not as hard as some people think. Plus there's no cutscenes that are showed off in the writing or any spoilers.

I prefer video, however, I won't hesitate to read written reviews.

I'm fully aware of the question. I'm just thinking outside of the box.

Video, I like watching the gameplay while listening in an out of the people talking
