X-Play on G4 is usually pretty trustworthy for me. You just have to find a critic with similar tastes to your own. I remember Enter the Matrix got horrible reviews by GMR magazine, but I thought the game was fantastic. After that I didn't put as much faith in the reviews from that magazine, because I realized my tastes were much different.


I don't watch xplay anymore, i used to love it but, it got too professional feeling and lost it's charm and all the stupid funny skits they used to do, I love the canadian guy: "we we we, I like hockey":P

There is also the irate gamer, I guess he is pretty much copying the angry videogame nerd, but I still find him funny

AVGN is classic for me. Still keep up with him.

My other notables are The Spoony One and Armake21(who sadly isn't doing reviews anymore).

I've watched Zero Punctuation, but most of it either a hit or miss for me.
I think most game critic viewers have well agreed that Irategamer is just a AVGN ripoff. I've watched his vids... his humor feels forced and not that funny.

I'm a fan of Nostalgia Critic as well(even though he's only done one game review).

BTW, Spoony One is finally back to doing FF VIII now.

I really like The Angry Nintendo Nerd's reviews of those old crappy NES games. Something about the way he lets those WTF's and POS's slide out before he takes a swig of beer. :lol: You can just taste his mounting irritability.

"Top Gun," when he's trying to land on the aircraft carrier,

Ultra's first "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" game, which was so cheap and hard and bad that I actually had an epiphanical moment of pure understanding with this ill-tempered, foul-mouthed inebriate for once,

and "the Power Glove," which was totally useless, EXCEPT it let him actually land on the aircraft carrier in Top Gun! 8O
