Cool idea!
I'll keep that in mind!

yeah I think an "external" area would be fine... it would hopefully be at the bottom or near the end of the information (because it would be taking the user away from the page). standard links, if applicable, to YouTube, Wikipedia, other review sites, walkthroughs, etc...

Depending on your space and bandwidth, I don't know if you want to host the videos yourself, especially when youtube probably has 80% of them and we can all pitch in to upload the rest over there.

I agree -- hosting them myself wouldn't be terribly practical
And I also think some of those other points sounded good.

I'd like to have a section that would have links to and summaries of not only reviews but other articles regarding the featured game. Maybe even extracting some pages from old magazine scans. It could serve as a bit of a library of game history and information.
