Probably CGR. They get the opinions through without being offensive or being biased. I always think back to the DOOM 64 review, where he does bash the graphics, but admits that the game is good if your an old school shooter fan. (OH,OH, MEEE!)

I generally like all youtube reviewers. Each has their own unique style. I think it´s a great concept. User reviews on youtube, wow.
Perhaps one day these reviews can be categorized on youtube.

Animereviewguy does some great reviews for games based on anime series as you can tell from his username. Asalieri2 has a unique spin on the formula, he does not review games, instead he reviews other reviewers reviews. Gexup mainly does reviews on more obscure titles and does some great lists and retrospectives too. GX2Productions reviews a wide range of games and is pretty funny. HalfBlindGamer chooses an interesting console to focus on, the CD-I. His reviews are informative and entertaining. Also deserving of a nod are racketboy members MetalJesusRocks and dreamcastjunkyard.

Since you are asking for our opinion - No one on YouTube gives a good enough review. There are certain things to take into account, pitch and tone of voice, style, niche marketing, gimmicks and even facets of the game also are important. The only person I've ever seen do this is the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not only is this moron not an authority in gaming, he's an entertainer, but that doesn't stop people from copying him, frequently.

The only time I EVER see anyone get it right is during a commentary (such as unboxing), someone showing off their collection or an actual playthrough when the person playing gives some kind of trivia.

But then again, I'm a reviewer, I expect quality and not just someone else's two cents worth.

I don't see AVGN as a reviewer though. He is simply entertaining people. He actually likes some of the games he's ripping on, and is mainly pointing out the bad points. He just mostly picks games that are more bad than good.
