Zero punctuation; Cool game reviews

Has anyone seen these video reviews by Ben Croshaw? They're extremely funny especially if you watch a review of a game you really like. He mocks any game and he finds anything negative he can and pulls it apart. Just something to enjoy and not to be taken seriously. He reviews any games recently released and narrates over a humorous cartoon imagery. Be aware he casually swears in his reviews.

He is insanely good at what he does, I'm finding it hard of a single game reviewer funnier than him, he's also made genuinely good cases against some - in my eyes - overrated games.
I just locked an open door. Strange, yet symbolically compelling.

Dude, I'm feeling some strong man-love (in a non-gay way) for you right now; I've been watching his videos for yonks and I love them. Absolutely amazing soil yourself kinda funny.

I think he has something actually positive to say about Saints Row 2...

Haha, I thought more people knew about this guy he's the main attraction for the website.

I think the only game where he actually gives anything truly positive is Bioshock which is an amazing feat for any game to please this guy (But only for about 10 seconds). I came across him on Youtube a while back and check his latest reviews every week. He's very witty and some of what he says is true even if you love the game hes bad mouthing you cant help but agree. Its best when he does it to games you've already played to really understand his points which defeats the point of a review but its just for laughs and man is it funny. Enjoy!

Yeah, been watchin him from the start. Used to play his point n click games made with the AGS program n he moved on to do that.

I love his reviews, even if he's ripping on a game i like. Some people actually take him quite seriously which makes it even funnier.

Im sure a guest on the AGG podcast mentioned him and gave him a finger for bad mouthing a game...gonna go check that.

I always watch just for the comedy. I don't think I've really agreed with a single review of his though especially when it comes to MMORPGs. He is also a goon from somethingaweful.com and that site should be nuked from orbit.

I forgot all about these reviews, I used to watch them pretty often. The best part by far is that there are many valid points that are really simplified throughout the review, but still make a lot of sense, all the while its being funny.
