    I'd say they're all pretty good. Might take a while to watch them all though for the people who've just started watching. Definitely worth it though.

    I've watched about 10 of them so far and I've got to say that it was an hour of my life well spent, unlike Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines which I'll never get back.

    As a source of entertainment, they're good. But for substantiative reviews, they're obviously lacking.

    They're not meant to be substantive reviews, though if he actually does say a lot of positive things, you can probably bet the game is good. He states in one of them that "no one likes me when i'm actually being nice to a game" or something along those lines. So, he emphasizes the games flaws so he has something to work with.

    I thought he was rather harsh on SSBB, but the bashing of fanboys of any variety is great in my book.

    If you read the end credits(which are always funny as well) on the latest he states that all the SSBB fanboys will go to the nearest Wii forum and complain that he is not a real reviewer which is so sad but true.
    Everytime he bash someting that has a huge fanbase(like Halo for example) they always go on and on about he is not a serious reviewer and bla bla bla and yet when he bash a game they hate they do a flip and say what a good reviewer he is.

    Overall I say he is a good reviewer. He isn't afraid of pointing out flaws and does actually state the positive things as well(as long as it isn't the obviously, like the graphics are nice which is just pointless to point out these days.)
