    There's no 'none' option
    lol I rarely look for reviews. never read them, the ones in iTunes are useless, don't really watch videos either..although sometimes I will to see what the gameplay is like

    Written reviews. If you want to include a video, just show me some gameplay, I wanna hear the game music/sound!

    Yeah, written reviews and gameplay videos. I quite like GameTrailers video reviews for console games, but other than that I prefer to read... video reviews are usually done so badly.

    I prefer written reviews to video reviews (unless it is very unique gameplay that would be hard to describe in writing) but both is better.

    I like video reviews for a brief overview of a game I'm looking at, and a look at the gameplay. If I want detail, I check out the written review.

    I like written reviews with pictures in them, don't really care for video reviews.

    I read game impression posts on release threads, maybe some brief reviews (if they're out) and watch some gameplay videos, then I buy the game.

    Anything longer than a sentence loses Random_Guy's concentration.

    If I see a new game that looks good then I will find a video review to see the gameplay. If I am still interested then I will move on to written reviews as they normally provide more detail.

    Creating multiple threads on the same topic is considered spamming.
