Video Reviews for "Classic" games?!?!

So this is something that I have been thinking about for a while.  I am a huge fan of video reviews on Gamespot.  If given a choice I would much rather watch a video review then to actually read the text review.  GS has been doing video reviews now for a handful of years but not from there inception.  Needless to say I like to go back and look at older games often and I have watched many a video review again and again.  Maybe it is for nostalgia of games gone by or just to hear the thoughts of the reviewer at the time he played the game along with all of the video footage that comes along with it.

Problem is GS has only been doing video reviews for maybe 4 years now.  There are a lot of good if not great games that came out before that time that GS reviewed but never made a video review for.  Some games off the top of my head would be Diablo, Starcraft, Deus Ex, Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Skies of Arcadia for the DC.  The list goes on and on.

So my wish is that GS would maybe start up a new feature once a week where they would actually complete a video review for a "classic" game.  I believe that it would be a popular feature and would be great for those individuals, (like myself) who have been around for awhile to experience a little nostalgia and introduce those that have not been around as long to games that they have not had a chance to experience and get them to go out and grab a piece of history.

So I have posed the idea to GS and am waiting to see if I get any type of response or interest.  If this is an idea that you think would be pretty cool and would actually like to see yourself, maybe you could let GS know and see if anything comes out of it.  Until then, I would really like to hear what you all think of the idea?  Thanks!
