The guys over at Rock, Paper, Shotgun do a good job and I tend to trust them more than others.
Angry Joe is good at letting you know games which are just plain fun.
Yahtzee is funny but prefers being overly harsh on games for the laughs. Spoony is also funny but has a bit too much hatred of anything new or which is fun but uninnovative. That being said, his Let's Play of SWAT 4 is fantastic - [link]http://spoonyexperiment.com/category/lets-play/swat-4/page/2/[/link]

Same here. He's the only reviewer I keep track of.le picklez said:
I'm not really into reviews unless I'm looking for actual details about gameplay. I don't really care about some shut-in's opinion of a game unless he's really funny about it. Even then I'm not exactly going to respect the opinion, Yhatzee was one of the many reviewers who loved No More Heroes which is in my opinion one of the most boring games ever made.
That's why I love demos and rentals: it's the best way for me to find out if I should buy a game.
Huh.... Well I'd have to go with..DAMMIT!! I don't know STOP ASKING ME SUCH A HORRIFYING QUESTION!?!? NO Yahtzee!?!
*Screams like a girl then Dives out the window*
I regret Nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!!

There used to be a writer from magazine I stopped reading. His name was James Ellis, and his articles were invariably the best.
Ellie Gibson from Eurogamer. She is entertaining like some game reviewers I could mention but she also does the actual job of reviewing games properly.
Still a fan of Yahtzee and the AVGN. Other than him the only other person I can think of whom I read his reviews on a regular basis is probably Jim Sterling from Destructoid.
Me.
I occasionally look at some reviews on other sites, but in the end I trust my own feelings and opinions. Generally I only play a small selection of high quality games anyway (mostly through coincidence - I usually only play sci-fi space operas; this area is Halo Central, I received Mass Effect for a present maybe a year back and got Homeworld and my small library of GBA games - including Metroid Fusion - ah... I dunno how long ago) so good reviews generally only confirm my suspicions. Bad reviews of a game I want to get aren't likely to dissuade me (I only get games if I REALLY want them, e.g Mass Effect 2 and Halo: Reach).

You are asking who we think is the best video game reviewer. On the escapist. I think I may have suddenly been struck with that mystical power of prediction that Yatzee, my favourite video game reviewer, recently mentioned.
