Recommended game reviewers/Let's Players

Name	Sceenshot	Description	Website
The Angry Video Game Nerd/James Rolfe		This crazy motherfucker's been around for a long time. Likely the most famous reviewer on the web. 99% of the time, he plays games on the systems proper, so no save states for him or any of that fancy shit. He tends to be somewhat biased, but you'll likely be able to relate to him, because he knows the rage you've gone through first-hand. He reviews the shit out of shit games for various retro systems (Mostly NES and SNES). He rarely does more recent games. For some reason, he has a cult following in Japan thanks to his videos being subbed on NicoNico, which are oddly funny as every other viewer reacts to them with [floods of texts]. "The Nerd" is just a vidya persona though. James Rolfe himself is a lot more reasonable, reviews all sorts of stuff (also GOOD games) and is a pretty cool guy.	Youtube Page Japanese Sub
The Happy Video Game Nerd		As you can tell by the name, this guy is the polar opposite of the AVGN. He focuses good games that are considered forgotten or underrated. He produces a lot less episodes than the AVGN but they be much more in depth and have less filler humor.	Retroware TV
Game Center CX		Legendary television show about playing video games starring comedian Shinya Arino. About 3/4 of the time, the games he plays came out everywhere (Mario, Mega Man, Sonic, etc.), although there's times he plays Japan-only games and even some Western-made games. But that's irrelevant, since the draw of the show is all about his playing. It's hard to briefly say why it's, well, addicting to watch him, so here's a guide. That's only part of it though, since the episodes are peppered with neat little segments where Arino and crew visit arcades and game stores, study vidya history, sometimes even talk with vidya devs and attend conventions, and generally have fun to ease the tension. Japanese, but the subs are more than enough. There's video download-mirrors all across the net if you know look, since we can't technically tell you where. ...What do you mean "Kotaku videos"? Look, those awful shits don't exist. Fuji TV agreed. Don't bother them about it.	N/A (If you want legit episodes, check Amazon.)
Classic Game Room		These guys pretty much talk about anything and everything vidya. Old or new, good or bad, they'll give you the gist of it. Some of their reviewers tend to be better than others in terms of bias and/or the in-depth details of their reviews. (I'm not too familiar with them, so somebody else should do a better description.)

Lazy Game Reviews		Somewhere inbetween CGR and a professional reviewer, Clint is a PC-oriented reviewer who has a taste for the unknown and the obscure. He's doing a lets play series called "I'll play anything".	Website
Retsupurae		Fronted by 'Slowbeef' and 'Diabetus', Retsupurae (an engrish prenunciation of 'Let's Play') watches horrible Let's Plays and taunts them, weather it be the awful commentary, or the stupid game itself. Starting on the SomethingAwful forums, the two quickly gained popularity for pointing out not all Let's Plays are golden treasure troves. They sometimes watch extended silent Let's Plays (Called 'Long Plays') and comment on it, their own version of a Let's Play. They often bring guests from the SomethingAwful forums on their videos to commentate with them.	Youtube Page
Hardcore Gaming 101		One of the best videogame review sites on the internet. Hundreds of high quality reviews and interviews on all types of games. They mostly stick with older and more obscure stuff. The really great thing about their game write-ups is that they'll go in-depth for each game (unless it's a throwaway entry in a series), often noting history behind development and occasions when devs and/or companies shut-down and move on. They tend to note spiritual successors/predecessors as well.	Website
Turbo Views		If you like the TurboGrafx-16/CD and/or PC Engine, Chris Bucci is your man to listen up on for some potential games to play. He generally hits on all the highs and lows of games with very little bias. Best of all, he knows his stuff, even bringing up pricing and hardware concerns when relevant. If you haven't gotten into the Turbo line before, but may have been interested thanks to Wii's VC, PSN, or some other means, check his videos first before you shell out for a potential buy. He doesn't have every single game video'd, but he does have several of the more well-known titles up. His DVDs (very cheap and region-free) have some extra goodies in addition to Turbo Views.

Chuggaconroy		One of the most famous Let's Players out there, Chuggaconroy pretty much covers all things Nintendo. He has a big list of LP's and that list is only growing.
StephenPlays		Stephen George famous for his ongoing V-Log as well as Ninten Speaks Channel makes some good LP's as well. One of his best is probably Earthbound, sonsidering how it's his favorite game of all time and how he knows pretty much everything about the game itself. He plays other games like Portal, Halo CE Anniversary, Skyrim, or Minecraft. Sometimes he playes 2-player games with his wife, Malarie. As well as has neat vids like demo Fridays which showcase a demo, obviously. All in all a good guy who plays some good vidya.
