I'm pretty sure we all stumbled across a review that made us laugh out loud because, in 99% of cases, the game sucked hard and the reviewer turned into a comedian to entertain the reader more than the game itself.

I wonder if any of you can contribute to this topic, I'll start with this one

^^LOL that was funny. :D

I found some parts of this X-play review quite funny but maybe it's just me.:o (http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/reviews/1664/Call_of_Duty_4_Modern_Warfare.html)

For my money, Yahtzee has some of the best videogame reviews on the internet. They're witty, funny, entertaining and still manage to competently critique the game. Whereas most reviews punch you in the face with paragraph after paragraph of poorly-written summary, Yahtzee gets to the friggn' point and explains how the game actually plays, where it trips up, and, if he's in a good mood, where it excels. And his spiel isn't burdened with the usual overwrought scoring system (this game gets a 7.856 out of 10.000!)

I like the Angry Video Game Nerd Reviews. Some are hit and miss, but you can tell the guy is a dedicated, long time gamer, and he does some neat stuff with his videos. He also does a good job of sometimes centering in on that ONE major bad part of a game and can really go on with it until you can't help but laugh at it.

I love that guy. He also does movie reviews and other stuff. :)

The first sentence of it.

Wow. Wow! It's amazing how ridiculously poor software can be when it's farted out as a quick, sloppy port by a development house.

Ouch yo. >_>

My favorite review of all time is when G4's X-Play DESTROYED that horrible snowboarding game from Johnny Mosley. It was in 2005 though, and I can't find a YouTube for it.

You know... I'm pretty sure it occasionally snows in San Francisco.
