You get some game footage which you're actually allowed to use.

You design the graphics

You use video editing software to put the graphics and footage together.

You find some footage which corresponds to what you want to write in the review.

You talk about exactly what is going on in the video.

You somehow get this copy/content edited by the editors

You find somewhere to host this video (we're not putting them on YouTube. That would defeat the entire purpose).

That's a lot more effort than 40 minutes spent, sitting comfortably, and writing, which is what we all signed up for.

VGC gets review copies so who aren't they allowed to do videos?

even if you aren't allowed you could do a youtube thing where people use the video

 

the graphic desgining is one time thing apart from some tweaks and can be used over and over again like IGN,Gamespot and GTn and so many more

 

putting the footage and graphics together is a kids game and is worth when site is getting hits

 

you can easily record game footage with those $10-20 screen capture cards

and most video reviews don't correspond to what is being shown on the screen

why not youtube,IGN,GT,etc does them? you could like embed them on the dite with your text review,get hits on VGC articles and even earn from youtube partners,this is mainly if you have a bandwidth cost

if you can bear the cost or find a way to do it then even better

the game footage can  done while playing the game and the editing doesn't take much time for a 3-5mins review

1) Review copies have nothing to do with it. You have to find footage you're allowed to use. Not easy.

2) Yes, but who's going to design the graphics?

3) Of course. That's the easy bit. But the site won't be getting hits. How many people from outside the site are going to come here to watch video reviews, when they can go to established reviewers and get a much better quality video?

4) Please link to where you can get one of those for $10. For one thing, they'll only work on PC and maybe the HD consoles. For another, playing through to the point in the game which you want to show is a pain.

5) Then they're bad video reviews.

6) GameSpot, IGN and GT are massive review sites. They have central offices, press contacts in every company, review copies for every game, full-time, fully-paid staff, proper video equipment and a huge fanbase. Don't compare us to them. Most of those YouTube reviews are really shoddily done.

Again, if you would be willing to do a video review, and to be a reviewer, contact Naz and sign up. I signed up for this job to be able to write reviews, not spend hours video editing them.
