Another write in for CGR. I like watching AVGN and ZP for laughs, but CGR usually gives more actual information about the game in question.

If I want to know if an older game is good or not I'll just go to mobygames.com. They'll have reviews both from old magazines, and from retro gaming review sites, plus a 5 point scale score from users.

I watch Classic Game Room quite often. He gives good and thorough reviews, with a voice that can sell anything. Totally unbiased too (cause nothing could ever top the Vectrex and Cosmic Carnage... and beer.)

Many accuse him of plagiarizing the Angry Video Game Nerd.

CGR as everyone says is good and funny, which is a good thing. I also like this guy's channel who reviews Gamecube and Wii titles: http://www.youtube.com/user/FreQuenczy

I don't really watch video reviews. I do however read written reviews. Mostly the ones by Gamesradar simply because I seem to agree with them like 85% of the time. Next to that I also pay a small bit of attention to Gamespot (Whom I agree with like 50% of the time), Gameinformer (45% or so) and occasionally IGN (Like 5%).

I would like to point out that I do watch the video reviews of Yahtzee Croshaw and Storm Dain but those I only watch because they are funny. I don't really consider them "reviews" so much as comedy shows because neither of those two people actually discuss the game as a whole and instead just kind of focus on two or three main points of why they liked/disliked the game and spend the whole video making jokes and ranting.
I feel old when talking to anyone my age yet too inexperienced to effectively talk to anyone older. Life is grand that way.

Classic Game Room definitely takes the cake. Mark is awesome. I don't care much for Undertow though, the kid's voice is really annoying and he doesn't have much personality at all.

But in true response to the question out of that list I'd have to pick Nostalgia Critic. I like AVGN too but I think over the years I've grown a little tired of him; still some good videos from time to time.

I also forgot to mention I like everything James Rolfe does, not just with video games. He's always been really entertaining to me and while some of his videos lately have seemed a little uninspired, I'll always give em a chance and a view.
