Reviews by someone other than AVGN

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!

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

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

Well I'm a bit biased, but I like my reviews (look down)

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.

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.

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

Aqualung's Game Reviews is good.

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.

No one mentioned Happy Video Game Nerd? Odd. He is responsible for quite a few game purchases.

Dear lord, I just wasted a few minutes on that "game boob" thing. I'd almost rather watch "youtube fred". Almost.

I almost rather watch 2 girls one cup repeatedly in 3D than youtube fred but to be fair I'd really rather not watch either one.

He's bearable because he's a very obvious parody of Youtube reviewers.

Barely. The dude IS good at what he does, I'll give him that much!

[Famidrive-16]

Kolibiri is the best reviewer of all time. Period.

Thanks for the reviews Kgenthe! They're great! They're very even-tempered.

I double the surprise at lack of mention/love for the Happy Video Game Nerd. His reviews are fun to watch and he readily acknowledges the influence James Rolfe had on him as far as online reviewing goes. I'm also surprised no one mentioned http://www.retrowaretv.com/ an entire site full of reviews and reviewers.

[Kitsune Sniper]

They're probably not being mentioned because the majority of us are aware of HVGN, and I think some Retroware people post here.

Happy Video Game Nerd and HappyConsoleGamer.

[Melf]

I like Game Sack a lot.

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...
