come on. i am not trying to sound mean, but it is very hard to watch video reviews when to reviewers are hard to look at being overweight or with glasses. basically the ideal gamer stereotype. is it so hard to employ good looking men and women...

 

ign reviewers are much easier on the eyes and good looking women too. maybe thats why ign is the number one gaming website. you will remain second in internet traffic until you hire better looking people. just my 2 cents

Does every job in front of a camera have to adhere to the, "weather girl," model?

Aww, looks ain't everything!

That being said, I must say that GS takes a LONG time to release their reviews.  I just started relying on other review sites since sometimes I'm an impulse buyer :p

They want people who know what they're talking about, not Olivia Munn-type airheads

Plenty of the reviews are paid off. How else does CoD get away from getting the stale and recycled awards?

 

Might as well put pretty bimbos in front of the camera anyway.

Well that's another issue entirely. I don't think GS reviewers are paid off, but I think game reviewers have no balls and are scared to give any game less than an 8 if it's hyped up.

I'd rather take a review from someone who has actually played the game and don't care what they look like, it's the internet, it's not hard to find good looking women, although finding a few studly male gamers and sexy female gamers wouldn't hurt, it still doesn't beat validity of the review.

But in the vast majority of video reviews, you don't even see the reviewer; they just do a voice over. So who the fvck cares what they look like? In this scenario I would much rather have a knowledgable ogre than a beautiful moron.

The GS reviewers are much better looking than your typical gamer on a forum. That said they just need to be presentable, someone like Chris Watters.

If they employed hot female reviewers I bet people are just going to be drooling and hitting on them like they did with Jessica Chobot from IGN.
