Might I suggest a co-host or guest segment. It got monotonous listening to the same person for the duration of the video. Good starting point, though. Overall, not bad.

Although there are a lot of game review publishers, Mahalo is a trusted content source. I wouldn't mind hearing release dates and seeing potentially a few still images / screen shots if possible. Nonetheless; I think it's a very good idea! I think it’s a brilliant idea. Although there are a lot of

It's a bit like E-TV or something. I like the idea of a video games news show though, and as much as I might hate them, annotations as links to the Mahalo content could help at appropriate points, if they aren't overdone.

Excellent production value, news summaries, the music that changed between each story. 3.What could we improve? Reading the prompter seems very wooden. I enjoy TWIVGs because of the more relaxed nature of it. Not enough PC stories for my taste. 4.What length should it be? If it's only for YouTube it should be the length of ThisWeekIn Youtube video as opposed to 5+ minutes. I have no problem with the length but most on YouTube do. 1.What would you rate this on a scale of 1 to 10?

She's fine. It's a video game review... she does a good job, she's snappy, bubbly, snarky and cute. It's quality... well done.

I'm with Paul (above), she sounds commercial, and doesn't come across like she knows what she's talking about. The host is gorgeous, but she’s cheese.
