    Default Reviews by someone other than AVGN

    Does anyone know of any good videos posted of classic game reviews that are pretty good, other than AVGN? I've looked around and some are ok but I havn't found any that keep my atention.

    I know someone from the forums does video reviews...don't remember if it was "Press Start" or someone else. I think Mike from GameGavel does reviews too.

    I like Classic Game Room. Not so much CGR Undertow though, Derek's voice kinda gets to me.

    I'd recommend:

    http://spoonyexperiment.com/ - Spoony's reviews, especially for the Final Fantasy reviews. He does bash on them quite a bit, but even as a fan I enjoyed them.

    http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/show/show-jew-wario - JewWario, who does "You can play this", reviews of Japanese games accessible to English-speakers. Fairly entertaining and informative if you're getting into imports.

    http://www.ashens.com/ - Ashens does hilarious reviews of old uk computer games and various crappy lcd games (popstations) as well as just various tech.

    I'm fairly sure they're all affiliated with thatguywiththeglasses.com or blisteredthumbs.net in some way or another.

    +1 for Classic Game Room!

    I really like their reviews. The guy knows his stuff and the reviews usually contain the info that I want, without all the over the top BS that AVGN and other similar reviewers do.
    If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?

    Hey Megas. Thanks for the nod...I think.

    Yeah, I'm the guy on here that does retro reviews too. Check out my YouTube page and tell me what ya think. Lots of old-school goodies, btw.

    I've been liking this guy's Turbo Reviews:

    His voice sounds like Roy Brocksmith's in Total Recall. The "take this pill" guy.
