    This is pretty much my first review of a game in video format rather than my written reviews that older members are used to seeing.

    Video Review: SkyDrift | Widescreen Gaming Forum

    Wanted to share it for those who are interested and feedback is welcome.

    Nice review, i think it was a tad monotone, but that's about the only issue i can raise about it. I think the game was very well covered and that's what matters most ;).

    Yeah post commentary is a different skill set than live commentary takes a bit more work to not sound monotone but yet at the same time not sound incredibly scripted or fake.

    The other issue was I was just doing this on the tail end of a long day after work so was on my last little bit of oil to burn.

    Thanks for taking the time for giving feedback.

    I liked it! Agree with above, a bit monotone. Looks like great game, I plan to at least try a demo of it. I liked how you stated value. I had never thought about it that way.

    Finally someone else who has this game! This game is awesome I bought it on day one just because I like flying games and racing games. Also, it is a great buy for 10 bucks.

    As for the video I think its a little too long like keep it at 5mins would be fine. No need to go into too much detail about the value of the game.

    Vicious always sounds like that when hes doing post commentary while sleepy. :3
    Good review and the game might be bought when the Steam Holiday sale starts.
