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.

U GAIZ JUST DONT LIKE CHANGE , (builds a artificial foundation here)
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.
I vote for Ashens since I had to check on his review of the GameKing (refer to the buy and sell section)
There's a show my buddy showed me once called Continue, where these three guys play an old game and vote on whether or not they would keep playing it (continue) or not (game over). I just don't remember where on the web he found it.
I only need 2 more NES games (US)!
Pat the NES Punk is who I would recommend. There's a bit of an underlying story between most of the videos so you may want to watch them in order.
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.

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?
Kwingreviews,is pretty good and kwing is good at giving a reponse rather quickly when you comment on a review of his.

Theres very few, cause when people try to review a game they get bashed for copying AVGN (hence, why I hate AVGN, Irate Gamer is still my most hated however)......

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.
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.
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.
