Although it should be 12/10!!!
Nah, only joking. I can actually think of a few things that could be improved. But mainly the camera, it works well but could be better.
Sebi’s got a point there. You should review it like GameTrailers does and not how Gamespot does it. Like have a montage of clips and do voice-over work.
We are but a humble blog, with limited resources. We’d love to do super whizz-bang video reviews on the scale of IGN and Gamespot, but right now it’s not practical.
How about if we got Simon to wear a bikini for the camera?
I am not sure why cutting away from the talking head to some footage of the game would be so much more complicated.
I am not talking about something on the scale of gametrailers’ retrospective series that showed EVERY end battle in the Zelda series, for example. But if you review a game you keep saying looks great I just am a tad annoyed that I have to look past you on onto a screen in which the game isn’t formatted right. Cutting away for a full-screen view of some scenes you think look cool would simply solve that.
And no bikini.
That said, your site is the best one on wii news I have found so far. The videos are only a plus as far as I am concerned. If you feel putting more time into the videos would make other parts of the site suffer, it’s probably a good idea to keep it the way it is.

2 suggestions for future reviews:
I want to see the game, not the reviewer (sorry mate).
Set widescreen game to widescreen mode.

Actually, your layout is very similar to Gamespot video reviews. And I mean very similar: “Dude talking in front of screen showing the game.”
And the bikini idea may work… especially if you get a bunch of hot chicks…
lol
