Problem is gameplay video's generally are dull as dishwater. By and large watching someone else play a game isn't exactly inspiring and still doesn't give much of an indication of what a game is like to play.

Trailers and previews are designed to give maximum impact and portray a product in the most positive way (just like movies and pretty much every other form of media). The amount of times I've gone to see a film after being sold on the trailer only to find the trailer contained every decent part of the film with the other 99% being sh*te.

IME the only way to find out if a game is any good is from first hand play, no amount of trailers, youtube vids or reviews can offer anything more than a tenuous dialogue in terms of the content.
