One of the many things I look forward to on your site is seeing what number rating you give a game after review. With highspeed internet being so common now, I'm sure your video reviews are becoming more and more popular (I personally love them).

My question is, why did you remove the gamespot score you used to show at the end of the video review? It was a nice finale, and gave me all the info I needed in one complete package. It seems very small, but I think it makes sense to show the score at the end of all video reviews.

Thanks,

Dan

I noticed that also. I see no reason why it shouldn't be there.

More? Really?

Yes.

Gamespot's text reviews have been getting smaller and smaller every year. (just compare Halo 2 and Halo 3's reviews. 7 pages for Halo 2, and 2 pages for Halo 3).

We use Video Reviews whenever we get the chance. And a review score at the end of the video will just make it better.

That's not how you do things around here and your topic is still on this first page! http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25977467

Gamespot mods. Very interesting how you have now replied TWICE to my posting of same topic but STILL have yet to adress this VERY SIMPLE enhancment comment. First page or not, I've got 2 replies on day 1 with no answer, and no reply on day 12 with any feedback. What's IGN up to....

We've removed scores from the video itself for logistical reasons. To make a long story short, the score is the very last thing that is decided on before a review goes live. So that holds up the entire video review rendering and publishing process.

With our new video pages, the score is displayed right next to the video for easy access.
