Clanofthegraywolf: 16-bits gems and The Way Games Work are their best work.

Happyconsolegamer: People have already talked about him here, so I won't say much other then check him out.

NecroVMX: The guy is a dick at times, but his features Urban Legends of Games and Clearing Confusion are great.

For Let's Plays, I'd say 90% of them are bad. Uninteresting commentary, flipping out over minor shit, face-cams, etc. But, if you can look through the bad ones, you can find some really great LPers that actually know how to do commentary well and understand the games they play.

I recommend:
HCBailly: He does almost exclusively RPGs and is extremely thorough with them. He has really great commentary as well.

Proton Jon: Really just does a great job all-around with his videos by providing little tidbits, humor, and is fairly chill throughout.

Chuggaaconroy: Although he does go a little overboard in the loudness department occasionally, his commentary and knowledge of the games he does is just great.

Ooh, I like this guy. His Sonic video alone convinced me that we're on the same wavelength.

Does anybody else know any other good channels for game analysis? It's so hard to find genuinely insightful evaluation of games it seems, everyone tends to stick to criticism and comedy.

Besides that, the main channel that I've been spending time with is Jontron & Egoraptor's Game Grumps:

They sort of do Let's Plays, but their personalities are so dynamic and they're so consistently entertaining that it astonishes me. Off the top of my head some of their better series are Mega Man 7, Goof Troop, and Sonic '06. Egoraptor does more general animation work, but Jontron runs a great video game based comedy show (he's been hitting his stride within this last year or so).

Classic Game Room and TotalBiscuit are about all that I watch. I watch Game Sack and Metal Jesus as well, but, they're a bit slow on getting videos out.

Continue? 3 guys who play a new game every Wednesday and decide if they would "continue" or "game over". Bit salty on the language but still a lot of fun with all the references they throw out. I believe they are affiliated with GameGrumps, because JonTron and gang have appeared on their show quite a few times.

ZetaPlays It's a "Let's Play/Let's Briefly Play/Let's NOT Play" series, but this guy made his own "Wheel of Crap" in Flash and spins up games on the NES, SNES, and Genesis and plays whatever comes up. His quest is to play every Japanese, American, and European game for those 3 consoles, and if it's good enough, he'll play through to the end, otherwise it's a one episode per game show.

I also enjoy CGR, GameSack, and Gamester81, if only for his console reviews and arcade walkthroughs.
