if you're looking for delightfully biased video game reviews, try ben "yahtzee" croshaw's "zero punctuation" videos.

Don't forget Spoonyone on Youtube.
Here's his 2-part review of the videogame of John Carpenter's 'The Thing':

the only game reviews am will read are from the game central team:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_central as they were originally digitiser [well most of them] and had been reading it for years.
always remember david jenkins for when he worked on the BBCs old teletext game reviews,and could never have gotten anything less biased than those.

Personally, I'm getting tired of video game critics. They're always so anal about the games I like, while mindlessly praising games which I would never enjoy playing.

Well some of these guys aren't 'critics', so to speak. Spoony does it for the humour side, as a lot of the games he talks about were hilariously bad anyway. It's more of a nostalgia trip.

X-Play on G4 is usually pretty trustworthy for me. You just have to find a critic with similar tastes to your own. I remember Enter the Matrix got horrible reviews by GMR magazine, but I thought the game was fantastic. After that I didn't put as much faith in the reviews from that magazine, because I realized my tastes were much different.

I used to read Sean Baby's reviews many years back, but I don't think he updates that anymore...tried watching some of the YouTube ones and most of them are exactly the same, just not as funny.

I love the AVGN's videos I think they are hilarous! Even when he fought the Nostilga Critic!

Yeah, personal taste has a lot to do with it, since the games I play are rated average by most critics...

I like KarmaX myself, although admittedly I only know of him because we've been friends since fifth grade.

Sadly, his computer died so it's likely that the Jim Power review won't be finished. But he'll be working on moooooore.
