I've searched the site to death, but I can't seem to find a profile anywhere. Say what you want about GT's staff overall, I like this particualr guy's style and find his reviews very articulate and informative.

So if anyone can find some infromation, like a name or a blog or something, I'd be most thankful.

I believe the review narrator's name is Geoff Knightley. He is the host of the program "Bonus Round" on Gametrailers. His voice sound different on the review narrator than on Bonus Round.

Are you sure? I've considered that it might be him but the voices, as you said, just sound way too different. It could just be because he's closer to the mic in the reviews, which causes one's voice to sound deeper and richer (a reassuring fact for anyone who's ever envied the pipes of their local radio DJ).

Thanks either way. :)

I doubt it's Keighley, it doesn't sound anything like him...also consider that there's more that one narrator in some of the videos as well (or at least the older ones). Have you considered going to the GT forums and asking? Actually, now I'm curious on who the dude is too.

On the 3rd week of November's Bonus Round, gametrailer's video podcast, they mentioned that someone play the game and write the video review script. Then the guy who voices the video review just read the script, I don't think he plays and writes the review. They say it's hard to do what he does and few people can do that.

Just asked the forums and it looks like the accouncer is a guy named brandon, one of the site's founders. Also, it appears he doesn't actually write the reviews; he just perfroms the voice overs while the editorial staff does the penwork.

At any rate, its nice to finally know!

Yeah...although now that I think about it, it makes me wonder if X-play in G4tv does the same thing...it would explain a lot actually.
