I just wanted to be first.

Good to see you guys at GP doing this

I JC, that man has a sexy voice!

Nice review on BC2.. Only thing i dont like about the game is spawning on team mates - example chasing one guy into a building then all of a sudden he has a team with him..

What frequency are you guys going to be releasing new shows?

It may or may not be fortnightly.

he says bad company is like MW2 but with tanks, id say its like a crappyer MW2 with tanks. saboteur looks pretty clunky

the guy talking for bad company is pretty bad, just needs to practice what hes going to say so he sounds mroe confident. second guy was great. also enjoyed that i wasnt just a wankfest saying how great the games were

Needs a more original name tbh.

Nice video tho.

Needs ambient music and better titles. Lots of 'um' and 'ah' too.

Otherwise quite good. Has potential.

And I agree with Nakor on the guy speaking during Bad Company. Needs to compose himself better, use a few different pitches, speak out more etc

Looking good

Would love to watch, but im bandwidth concious.

Think you guys can start a GamePlanet youtube channel and load the videos on there as well ?

Hahaa that was great. Excellent choices in gameplay footage Could use a bit of flash but i imagine that's going to come naturally once you're out of 'alpha'. Agree that barney needs some variation but im looking forwrd to this regardless.

Guy who isn't JC has a boring voice (Sorry)

Need cuts between presenters and game footage, watching game footage continuously is boring imo, splice in opening title to game, go through basic options real quick

Kinda went on a bit, too detailed... didn't watch the whole thing a bit bored

Otherwise, good

(Sorry i'm not licking ass like the rest of the posters but I thought you would like an honest opinion)

Good work, keep it up. LOL at all the woman bashing in Saboteur.

The saboteur review was great ( guessing JC did it with his awesome voice? ) but the guy talking about battlefield (PtP?) needs to work on it.

First guy needs to read off a script instead of winging it and enunciate words insteadofrunningthemalltogether.

I thought it was edited well with the onscreen action matching the narration.

Yep as previously said a more confident speaker would work wonders(or a more confident performance).
I personally feel that with videos like this shorter is better, 3-4 Min's would have been enough for me(about half of the current length).

I think Xev has a good point about including ambient music as well.

When transitioning from BF to the Saboteur the way it was done gave it a very unrehearsed feel(to me anyway), there was just something about the line "so now we are talking about the saboteur", really you could have cut that few seconds out and started from "the game im reviewing this week is the saboteur".

I know its a bit nit picky but its little things like this that effect the overall tone of the video.

I would like to see a more rehearsed script, shorter length, ambient music and a more confident speaking performance.
Edit: oh and a better name

I personally like the off the cuff/lets not take ourselves to seriously approach.

Before I watch this, I'd like to mention that you'd better have used all my awesome suggestions.

not a bad effort gameplanet. with a bit more polish and confidence from the narrators this would be great.

keep it up.

There's a YT link in the OP now.

Thanks for comments so far.

I look forward to getting my cap back to watch this. If its anything like JC's radio shows I've been sent it will be epic (comical)

That was excellent. The name is also fantastic.

Awesome, keen to be in these vids

Yeah I would also love to be in these sometime

As for feedback, I agree with a lot of the comments so far, but great effort for an alpha build!

I would be keen to see what it would be like if you got two speakers who both played the game to discuss it? I think that would give it a more interesting perspective and organic feel; as apposed to the current "interview" like style in this video.
