Does NickTheDude come to this site or even know his videos are posted here?

Well, I'll assume he does and can see this feedback.

I've never uploaded anything to YouTube so maybe I'm wrong but there's no reason you can't put up longer videos, right? Why try to crunch the reviews into thirty seconds when you could spend a little longer if it seems there's more to talk about. Maybe some of them didn't warrant more time in his opinion?

Also, I've been curious about Halfbrick: Blast Off so that was the one I was most looking forward to getting a review but strangely I couldn't tell what sort of review that game got. There's mention of the premise and the in-game advertising but nothing to say if it's worth the points or anything of that sort.

I guess in the end I'm in-between on my feelings. I like the longer reviews from every other video but at the same time I wish he was able to talk about more than one or two games a week.

Regardless, I'll keep watching them each time they're posted. I wish more people focused on the community games.
