Reviews by someone other than AVGN

[Kitsune Sniper]

I don't really like that Inecom guy's reviews. Sorry, but after seeing him give a glowing positive review for SNK Arcade Classics on the PS2 (probably the single most broken game I've ever played on the system), I just can't trust him to review any older game.

Pat the NES Punk is okay. His reviews are informative and entertaining but there's something about him that just... freaks me out. It might be the hair.

check out phreakindee's stuff, i think they're great. probably my youtube reviewer of choice.

I also really like halfblindgamer's take on cd-i stuff.

[Emperor Megas]

I have to give a nod to Classic Gameroom as well. It's a pretty entertaining show, and I think the guy's dead pan delivery is hilarious. I used to think that he was in character, but he really just sounds like that. I also really like Turbo Views a lot, though it's TurboGrafx specific.

[Icarus Moonsight]

I always recommend Classic Game Room. They are the God-Tier standard for youtube game reviews. I don't know about the Undertow Crew though. They have good insights and cover the games they review well enough... Mark is just better at the whole format, by quite a bit. Maybe they'll develop a style once they get going.

Happy Console Gamer I've subbed to for quite sometime, but he hasn't been putting out videos last few months. His videos are not really reviews either. He does series retrospectives, system/game showcases and highlights... He either goes broad view, or gets super detailed but he rarely focuses either style on one thing.

I'll second happyconsolegamer. I like him even though sometimes he's a bit of a douche.

As for classic gameroom, I dunno I've been a subscriber for a long time and have gotten very bored with his videos. They're all so similar that it's tiring.

[Berserker]

Third HappyConsoleGamer. I don't see how he's a douche at all. But as Icarus said, they're not really reviews, in the objective critical sense -- just a good-quality production where a guy spotlights and talks about classic games that he loves.

Kamino drunken Genesis playing or GTFO!

Yeah I might be biased. He reminds me of of an old friend of mine that I really liked, but he was a total douche hipster. The happy console guy shares some of his tendencies so it probably triggers something in my head.

Anyway I really dig all of his videos, they're awesome.

I agree completely. It's mostly PC gaming, but he's a natural on camera.

[Gamereviewgod]

I don't think most people even realize Classic Game Room has text reviews on the main site. It seems like so many are locked to the YouTube page and that's it.

But yeah, there's a home site with text stuff... and I write a lot of it. So there.

It looks like he's going to do a crossover with the AVGN, check out his NWC video in addition to some interviews he did with James.

I'd say Chrontendo is worth watching but I think the scope would go over the heads of most people that are just looking for a 10 minute game rant. I really enjoy it though and consider it both entertaining and important in an educational / archival way.

[CRTGAMER]

I prefer text and pics over slugging thru a video of someone ranting. But if I do want to see JUST the gameplay, I hit GoogleVideo and catch a game on YouTube.

Here is an oldie to give you an idea:

Fire Fight Demo Mission One Playthrough

Kolibiri is the best reviewer of all time. Period.

I like Game Sack a lot.

[Edmond Dantes]

I thirty-third the Happy Video Game Nerd. He's currently my favorite reviewer.

Thanks to him I also discovered Pat the NES Punk (also from Retroware) and Video Game Take Out, which focuses on portable games.

I thought of doing my own review show (focusing on underrated games) but its turning out to be harder than I thought and I'm just learning the ropes of video editing. Still, if it works...

[o.pwuaioc]

I like Game Sack a lot.

I'll second Game Sack. They're one of the few Youtube "reviewers" I watch, not particularly caring for Youtube reviews in general.
