I've seen this spark some interesting discussion on other forums I frequent, so I thought it would be interesting to see what happens here.
THe Escapist Magazine hosts a feature called Zero Punctuation in which weekly video reviews are posted. These are made by one man only, known as Yahtzee. He msotly reviews PC games but also jumps into the console market every now and then.
This week, after getting about a million emails about it, he has given us his review of Call of Duty 4. These are pretty good reviews and most of them are accurate. Although, that's my opinion. These reviews come out every wednesday.
Warning though, these reviews are explicit. 
Call of Duty 4
Enjoy....
Some past reviews of his...
- Guitar Hero III
- Asassins Creed
- Bioshock
- Halo 3

I just recently found out about this show. I stayed up till 1 AM watching them.... they might be the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. Asassin's Creed, Umbrella Chronicles, and Crysis were equally hysterical. And then there was Mass Effect, which was the best out of all of them.
Call of Duty 4's was no exception. That was hysterical.

Been watching these from links on a seperate forum, and must agree these are freaking sweet! My favourite was probably the Tomb Raider one - "Stonking Great Tits!"

He does acerbic wit in ways only an Englishman can and I love him for it. I disagree with his reviews on some games (namely The Orange Box, specifially Portal) but most of the times he's right on the money.

Somebody linked to this a while ago on these boards somewhere, and I've been hooked since. Not only are they super funny, but he cuts through the normal crap in reviews and just gets down to the main point of "do I want to spend time on this game?"
Oh and Portal is the most freakin awesome game ever.

HA, I was wondering how long it would take this forum to catch onto these.
Yeah they are the funniest things ever.

That and the MOH: Airborne reviews are my favorite. I love it when rips a game to shreds.
I've been watching since his BioShock review, and I watch it almost religiously. It certainly helped fill the void left open by the end of Red vs Blue.
That isn't to say that I always agree with him, but even when we disagree I can usually see where he's coming from, and it's all cool because he is hilarious. Honestly, there isn't anything about Zero Punctuation that I don't like. Even the songs at the beginning and end are always somehow appropriate for the title, and usually good songs.

Ah Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation. I have to also say that his review of "Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho by Clive Barker" is his best.
Oh, and he's right. Portal is the greatest game ever.

While I still disagree with some aspects of his Tomb Raider: Anniversary review (she was a LOT easier to handle as opposed to the classics) I also still find his reviews informative and entertaining. In fact, I used one of his quotes ("Futile money spinning for the terminally unimaginitive") in my last article for my school newspaper.
