Most of the video game reviewers i watch on youtube have either left youtube or just stopped making game reviews for some reason.  Can anyone recommend some good VG reviewers for me? |

I've liked JonTron's stuff, whether it's reviews (serious stuff) or his "reviews?" (absolute jokes, but still hilarious). I know they aren't much in the way of reviewers but I honestly also like "Video Games Awesome" by FFSTV. You can just tell by way of their reactions how much they like or hate a game, and they comment on it as they play, calling out awesome stuff and things they think suck as they play out. It is more of a Let's Play thing, but it's the most high tech and well put together of any of those i've seen. At the very least, their Earthbound live broadcast (which is now on their account in it's entirety) is entertaining for the old game crowd.
Thats about all I can think of. My game review pickings are slim too to the point where AVGN is about it. No more UrinatingTree/FatMann or PlayItBogart (who is still around as IndianaBelmont, but still hasn't posted anything new in eons). I still watch their old stuff from time to time though. UrinatingTree is the AVGN with a little less nerd and alot more angry. PlayItBogart has always been my all-time favorite though. Flawless in picking apart games IMO and funnier than ANY other reviewer in general. Yep, I'd take Bogart over the AVGN, the Nostalga Critic, Spoony, any of those guys.

More of a fan of old game reviews I don't know if they have much in the way of old, but I can think of 2 off of the top of my head (which I subscribe to): Chuggaaconroy, who's the best known LP producer on YouTube, and SlimKirby, who's recently become a favorite of mine for producing the first 7 Mario Party games. Both are well produced and informative at the same time. Below are the links to them: www.youtube.com/user/chuggaaconroywww.youtube.com/user/slimkirby |

I can't stand watching video game reviews on YouTube because it seems like everybody is trying to rip off AVGN. It's sickening. Every review I click on features a curse-filled rage about something minor within the first 30 seconds of the video. It's terrible. They are totally missing the point on what makes AVGN so great.

Agreed. Very few of them try to deviate from his path, and it gets annoying. At least most of them now are snuffed out for being fakes, with only the first group of clones seeming to stick around (I honestly believe Irate and Spoony wouldn't be anything if they came about today). The only funny ones I can watch anymore are AVGN, old PlayItBogart's (he is of the angry reviewer ilk but is more satirical, so I enjoy him more), and JonTron's reviews and reviews? (his fake reviews are actually him acting piss drunk and getting his facts completely wrong). Example (not to be taken as a serious review): |

I like rinrygamegame's reviews, though I don't know if she counts anymore because she's on that Blistered Thumbs site now.

Percymania said it best, all anybody is anymore is a bunch of angry, swear-filled people. Chugga is actually far from it, personally. He slips on occasion, but he never gets on the limit of some of the others i've seen. Plus, he never really gets angry at anything, unless he's trying to do something in a game and keeps messing up, and that's more entertaining than anything. |

the Gaming Historian is pretty good too. He's not exactly a reviewer, and most of the history stuff is stuff we already know, but it is still entertaining and he does do good reviews of overlooked games (ie, Ristar).

I do "serious" style game reviews, myself. www.youtube.com/user/LivingVicariouslyHDOnly have 4 up so far, but I plan to make more in the new year once I get my DVD recorder hooked back up. It's a lot of fun to do them, it's just time consuming, is all. |

Same here, though I skip his packaging and hardware reviews. |

This, but unlike Madison I like his hardware and packaging reviews. Really though I'd recommend starting with his Storybook Workshop review, that one was hysterical. |

His Matt Chat video game reviews are very good.
