While i don't agree with all points most of them stem from a truth.

The reviews amuse me. I'm not going to him to get a serious opinion. His best work was the Console Rundown, imo.

Yes, but I'm sure you could have come to that conclusion on your own.. we all knew somewhere that sandbox game play gets stale.. didn't need him to spell it out

True but it was amusing none the less, we all know the flaws of games, like me i am not afraid to say Mass Effect is a poor game, to me at least but he says the same thing in a comical way.

People may not like him, but I can probably guarantee that everyone has atleast one review where they totally agree with him. 😛

That's the point.

Smart people already know what it is he's saying, so if you're one of the aforementioned gamers who happens to not spread your assh*le for the hype penis every time a new game comes out, you'll have heard or thought it all before.

So then it just comes down to "Do you find him funny?". I do, a lot of the time. Even if I disagree, his analogies and structure are comical to me. It's not necessarily that he's teaching me anything, more that it's refreshing to know that there are more than two souls left in the world who happen to agree that GTA4 was an overhyped wankpile.

Then it's even funnier watching the hype die down and people, who previously used the CD hole as a pleasure device, start realising it's not actually that great.

He likes GTA 4, but then the man has a talent for highlighting the negatives, being true about it and being entertaining. I've never once see him deny that he likes something I think is shit, just doesn't focus on it. He highlighted that he enjoys the combat in Devil May Cry 4, but then he also said that you could achieve a similar result by making a wasp fight a spider with Slipknot in the background, then pouring red and green marbles over whoever wins.

As funny as that analogy is, it's true. It doesn't mean he can't like it.

I dont really considering him a reviewer.

He's highly entertaining and he raises good points, but I dont considering him a reviewer. I take his stance on games he talks about with a grain of salt.

GTA IV for me. Parts of others.

He's a reviewer in the sense that he does reviews of games, but it's more in the tone of "Here's my opinion of the game.", as opposed to telling you what he thought about the game and what it contains with a view to recommending it or not.

That's probably it.

Not very sure...but I think Croshaw does not use a rating system for his reviews. I think he even hates them...I think..

He sorta reminds me of the Angry Video Game Nerd but for modern games.

Cronshaw comments on Lucas, Wii, and The Force Unleashed.

(cover your ears children)

I think that's one of his best videos. I couldn't stop laughing.

I liked his opinions on the Wii and on Star Wars, I continue to love him. His Mercs 2 review had me in stitches. 😂

his style reminds me of redeye from edge magazine...
