I love watching game reviews on YouTube, but I find many reviewers sharing these annoyances:

  • Loud background music making it difficult to listen to the actual review
  • Spending way too much time talking about the story. I only want to know the theme of the story, not the entire plot
  • Making it a game tutorial. It is helpful to briefly describe the game mechanics so I can find out whether the game is for me. But it becomes excessive when you explain it in detail.

What I want to hear more:

  • Whether the game is good
  • How it compares with other games in the genre
  • How is the music in the game?

Game channels I like/recommend:
TheKisekiNut, JohnRiggs, MortismalGaming, davidvinc, gameranx, ircha

Can someone recommend other good gaming channels? I especially like retro games.

I'm a big fan of Second Wind ever since they split from The Escapist (you may be familiar with the long-running Zero Punctuation review series, now "Fully Ramblomatic"). Reviews of big name and indie games from an employee-owned business

That's a great suggestion thanks. I've almost forgotten about Zero Punctuation. Liked ZP but didn't like how fast he talked. Seems to have improved a little bit with Ramblomatic.

I mean he does talk about the story a lot.
