Anyone here likes this guy? he's the most popular internet game, movie and monster movie critic around, he's 29 years old and a definite 80's child. He rips the worst games of the last years from the late 70's to today even with a funny but foul mouth he has.

He has an awesome collection of original NES games. Still I do think he tends to blow a vein too easily. After all, "it's just a game" amirite?

I am not familiar with the said critic so I cannot say this is specifically about him, but I tend to shy away from those who get overly bent out of shape about entertainment, even if it does suck. With so many things to blow your top about in the world today, the quality of a piece of entertainment is not one of them. With that being said, I believe a lot of these type of things are less serious and more for entertainment value.
I am not a big gamer but there are a few movies, musicians and things Ive come across over the years who deserve a good tongue lashing, so it has it's place. I will have to check out this particular site.

Since AVGN is an 80's kid, he's almost 30, i wonder if he remembers the Teddy Ruxpin cartoon? maybe i'll ask him. And imagine if they made a TR game back then and it was a dud then the nerd would take it down.

Would be interesting to see what he thinks of TAoTR, although usually critics who get their hits off of being cynical and sarcastic don't have much use for properties as optomistic as TR would likely get a tongue lashing.

I haven't seen the Zero Punctuation reviews in a LONG time, but I remember loving every one. I'm not familiar with AVGN, but I agree with Josh: they're not so much critics as they are entertainers. They are doing it for the web page hits, not simply because they think something is good or bad. I will be in the Zero Punctuation library if anyone needs me...  |

He's awesome man! even though his mouth is more colorful then the Drill Sgt from Full Metal Jacket, i think sometimes he's right or sometimes he's wrong about the games he bashes.
Now take X-Men for NES for instance, when i 8 in 1990 i played that abomination on a weekend and it wasted a weekend of my life for being a lousy game.
