The greatest game critic ever! who else is a fan?I've been watching his reviews on youtube and screwattack since i saw his review of Friday The 13th for Nintendo on "His Name is Jason" DVD.
I like FeartheKat's until we win. He plays legendary hard games (the stuff I like) such as Silver Surfer, Battletoads, Chakan, and Ghost's and Goblins and he beats them while describing the game. Not a lot of unnecessary ranting either.

He's Lordkat there.
On the other hand, his video editing is not great, he uses the same phrases over and over, and there is some dobut as to whether he iis genuinely doing what he says or not. Various technical errors seem to keep cropping up to stop him proving it.

Pwnd.
My problem with critics such as Nostalgia, Angry Nintendo Game Nerd, and Zero punctuation (which are very funny talented people) is that they over use profanity and abusive vulgar methods to make their criticism.
Whereas guys like Adam Sessler use profesional and more educated (if you want to call it that) criticism in their reviews.
I still prefer Adam over the rest.

Yea, but that's kind of the point. Believe it or not, there are plenty of people out there who enjoy toilet humour, etc.

That's kind of true, but I've noticed that AVGN isn't using quite as much profanity in his more recent reviews. He generally doesn't get pissed off quite as much or so much either.
Even though it is extremely NSFW, my favorite 5 second movie is Batman & Robin. I even appreciate the extremely controversial Spooning with Spoony clips.
Other than Simon's Quest, I think all of the Nerd's reviews are spot on, even the more contentious ones. Ninja Turtles was a horrible game. You couldn't even beat the PC port without cheat codes because of a glitch. The NES port of Metal Gear was awful too.

Yeah...,He's the man, dude. and yes, he is something special. He's been carrying on the torch for a long time now. It's a side hobbie of his and he devotes a lot of work into it. I wasn't hating on Rolfe or the NC They're an inspiration. But we should give credit where credit is due. That dude. Loves to play games because it makes him feel like a kid again.

Yes, but he's a serious kind of reviewer. I don't look to AVGN or ZP for serious or fair reviews. Really, if I wanted a "professional" review of a game I'd probably turn to online reviewers like IGN, GS or Metacritic(not to say that they are always fair or accurate, nothing is).
Sure, Classic Game Room is pretty neat to watch, but I wouldn't look up to him as some kind of a shining beacon of awesomeness. Some of his reviews aren't all that accurate or complete, like the one on SupCom, for example. Though I agree that Classic Game Room is probably the best overall reviewer on YouTube.

How about by using actual words instead of breaking the page using the larger than symbol a billion times?
And I don't count ZP as a reviewer at all, as all he does is bash on a game.

Well, that's not all he does, but you are right his point is not really to give a fair portrayal of a game. He's more of a comedian, than a reviewer, which doesn't mean that he hasn't got very good points in his videos and many of the issues he raises are spot on, I'd just say that his "taste" is overly critical for me, I enjoy many of the games he hated, though when he says he liked a game in my experience it's usually pretty good.
I prefer that anyways, I don't care for "professional" reviews and critiques generally (be it games, movies, music...)

Well, you could say that Yahtzee just bashes them, but it somewhat implies that they are baseless attacks, which tends to not be the case. I don't see why they shouldn't be taken seriously either, just because they don't discuss the game with a long pro and con list?
