I don't know if you visit the gaming site IGN but they typically offer written reviews for everything and augment the more popular games with a video review. The video reviews are always shorter and they say for more in-depth coverage, read the written review. Games are very visual so seeing it in action helps out a lot and really enhances the written review.

For me and this review... having Jon describe the buttons and where they are on the screen... and how they operate, especially when he was throwing in Android phone references too (and I don't have one of those either)... a video of it in action would do a much better job. But yeah, save the in-depth stuff for the written review.
