InPlay Video Reviews and Google+
I’ve been doing short video reviews for about 6 months and posting them to YouTube. These reviews are filmed during the play of the game, so they are much less polished and usually involve me talking with the players about their impressions of the game.
Most are under 5 minutes.
I’ve made about 30 of them so far, and you can find them all at

CBS piece on board games
