Who Are Your Top Five Video Game Reviewers?

[squid5580]

Hmm I do like ZP and X- Play as well as Reviews on the Run. Vic Lucas is a putz at times. Sometimes he praises the game and scores it low or vice versa. Tommy on the other hand is great (too bad he is off doing the tour thing). I like how he will say I hate this genre so don't take my word on it. What bothers me the most about ROTR is EP Daily. I can't stand to see them preview a game and praise it as the second coming then give the game a low score in thier other show. It makes me wonder did you even try the preview game beforehand? Although alot of sites do the same thing.

ZP is just fun to watch. I don't take it seriously but if you want to call what he does a review then I guess he ranks as one of my fave reviewers.

X-Play is great to watch. I find thier reviews a great source of info about the game. I just ignore the scores. I can't figure out if 2 or 3 = 5/10.

 

[Looking For Alaska]

In no particular order:
Yahtzee Croshaw
Adam Sessler/x-play
Charles Onyett, IGN 360 Staff
MYSELF

I can't even think of a 5th one, lol.

 

[nova18]

Yahtzee, like me he picks at everything wrong with a game, no matter how small.
The Escapist community, you guys influence my every purchase.
Me, I review every game for the sake of my friends, that way they get a reliable on account of how good/bad a game is.

 

[Xvito]

Yahtzee, The Spoony One, Susan Arendt and maybe AVGN.

 

[ultimatechance]

1. James Rolfe
2. Benjamin Croshaw
3. Silent Rob
4. Whitey the Reviewer
5. Chris Bores

hahaha, whity the reviewer? Im guessing youre subscribed to my youtube channel then.

Hmm, i really dont have a favorite reviewer, because i dont really keep up with the authors of the reviews i read. I find that rolfe and yahtzee are more comedians than actual "reviewers" (Chris Bores is just bad on both reviewing and comedy though).

1. Noah Antwiler (Spoony One)
2. James Rolfe (AVGN)
3. Alex Navarro/Jeff Gerstmann (Formerly Gamespot)

[NXMT]

Yahtzee
Alex Navarro
Greg Kasavin
Jason Ocampo
Jeff Gerstmann

Haven't really found anyone else after the Gerstmann debacle. I now head to Metacritic, check out a few random reviews and call it a day.

 

[Sewblon]

Ben Croshaw and James Rolfe. If they don't cover it I just check the ratings on Metacritic.

If I watch ZP, it's for a laugh. Not a review.

2. Viktor Sjöström
3. Oskar Skog (yeah, you guessed it; Swedish ones)
4. Ben Croshaw
5. Taylor Hidalgo

I can't really compare Nuke and Yahtzee, so I just winged the order. After all, seen more ZP's.

 

[mjhhiv]

No Gigantor mentions? Pfft.

My list would go something like:

1. Yahtzee
2. Angry Video Game Nerd (does he count?)
3. Gigantor
4. Jason Ocampo
5. Jeff Gerstmann

 

[soren7550]

(No order)
Adam Sessler (X-Play, g4tv.com)
Arkmake21/Nicotine Alien (Games That Suck, Zero Bullshit, youtube.com & gamevee.com)
Most everyone at Game Informer magazine (gameinformer.com)
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw (Zero Punctuation, escapistmagazine.com & youtube.com)

 

[Gladion]

1. James Rolfe
2. Benjamin Croshaw

The only two I know and yet, the only two I need.
Fantastic entertainment, though any serious reviewing for myself is done by me and only me!

No need to add anything. They make great videos, but they're not making serious reviews.

 

[sooperman]

My list is

"Ben" Yahtzee "Croshaw"
Susan Arendt
Adam Sessler
Angry Videogame Nerd
Me

I am at the bottom of the list for two reasons. The first reason is that the people above me form expert opinions and share them with people; I, however, simply play the game and enjoy it or not. I don't tell anyone else about it. The second reason is that I am not a reviwer, so I barely qualify to be on the list.

I'm not sure about my favorites, but I definitely know my least favorite:

Spoiler: I guarantee you can't watch this clip without feeling the urge to punch these guys in the face.
