This can be from anywhere. Any site, magazine, Youtube channel, etc.
My personal favorite is Adam Sessler. He gets some hate at times for being a G4 reviewer, but I have never seen any review from his that doesn't make sense for what he is saying. He supports every game producer, and is amazing at what he does. He similar to me in how, when it comes to Bethesda games, he will love them for a couple of weeks then completely forget about them.
He's also a long time player/he's been in the game for a while. He has lots of open opinions, and can give a legitimate review without bias. (Of course, like anybody, he can be over giddy with his favorite games at times.)

Jeff Gerstmann and Alex Navarro were pretty good back when they used to work for Gamespot years ago. I have no idea how good they are nowadays.

Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszek, back in the oldmanmurray.com days. Hilarious and crass, but completely honest reviews. (and I remember their feuds with developers and other game journalists are more entertaining than the games most of the time).
Erik went on to join Tim Gerritsen's Double Fine (Tim's first blog posts were initially mistaken as Erik ghostwriting and had to be settled with Erik making his own post using the old Oldmanmurray style). After Doublefine, he joined Valve ('s writing team?)
I also like Jerry Holkins' style. Penny Arcade is one of the most commercialized gaming webcomics out there, but they seem like they are able to maintain their objectivity when it comes to covering games. He gets some flak for using too many high-falutin words, but I honestly find it adds to his reviews. He's aware of this thesaurus-y reputation and pokes fun at it sometimes.

Classic Game Room HD. I like how positive Mark is. Too many reviewers try to be edgy or mean. I like fun approaches to gaming.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I've enjoyed the Video Game Critic (Dave M.) for many years.
www.videogamecritic.com
He has many older reviews up, but will always revisit those and re-review them with fresh insight, and he can be down right hilarious at times. He has a good mind for the old and the new titles.

Same. I like how he will make fun of himself in the reviews sometimes aswell. And he just has a good voice for it. I mean his videos can be jumpy, but they are always entertaining and good fun

Re: Your Favorite Reviewer
I have to say, I don't have any favourite reviewers because if I really want information on a game, the best availble on the whole internets is here. I have yet to find any reviewer as knowledgeable as the guys here and now that so many of us have blogs, I'm in review heaven.
Keep up the good work!

I like Jeremy Parish from 1Up and Gamespite, because he always presents a unique view on games, drawing parallels, making reflections I don't see anywhere else.
I mostly like the humor of the guys from Rock, Paper, Shotgun too.
As someone mentioned before, Old Man Murray was awesome. Too bad we don't have anything like it anymore.
