let me show you the dark side of reviewers .. those who only praise one company and try to beat up the rest.. those who keep denying claims of been paid off .. Im talking about those unprofessional reviewers who get in full blown arguement's with people who prove them wrong ..let me show you a reviewer called Leagueofwinning.
it seems he hates evrey console except the ps4. I know what your thinking.. "If he loves it then so be it" but then he tries to make everyone else look like a wierdo.
here's his channel's so you can see the scale of his idiocy.

does anyone else know critics who troll people who disagree with them? if so list them on this thread so people know who to dislike.

This is why I mostly just don't watch any "reviewers" in the first place. I'll read user reviews and look at some from companies I trust like Gameinformer, but the only youtuber I watch that posts anything like that at all is TotalBiscuit. I highly recommend him for honest, professional, unbiased content.

yes in fact i tend to trust Official Nintendo magazine since although they have a lower expectation they review so much shovelware that it makes you realize how good games like Lego City are in comparison. As for internet review's the debate between The two game grumps usually leads to balanced verdict's on various games.

Honestly, another good, honest reviewer is Yahtzee, who is more commonly known by his video names, Zero Punctuation.
Yes, he tends to dislike just about every game you throw at him, except for the honest good ones. He even found something bad about Portal 1 (its fans).
ah so he's a bit like EDGE magazine only reviewing the best games?

I generally only stick to TotalBiscuit's reviews if I am interested about something. Anything major that might get my attention, he will 99% of the time review it, and he also covers alot of indie games which I like seeing. Last time he did 'Receiver', a game I had already been playing for a few weeks before, but his judgement is nearly always unbiased and fair, straight to the point.
Hence I don't know many bad examples, since I don't view alot of others. But certainly, I have occasionally seen the few that are just putting up a brick wall to your arguments, just to spout out great words about some product. Money money money, sigh.

another example is this zelda game reviewer who is admant that skyward sword was dull and even though the majority have reasons as to not Top Ten Most Memorable Moments From Legend of Zelda (Co-Staring 7ChaoEmerald) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkBqi_axba0#)
look at the comments and her replys.

The day there's a game reviewer without bias is the day there's a politician without an agenda :V
When it comes to video games, everyone has their opinion. Guy hates Call of Duty? He will review it based on that hate, cus it's Call of Duty? Biased, yes. But it speaks to everyone else who hates Call of Duty.
Love Legend of Zelda? You're gonna say each new game is an amazing step in the right direction cus you love it so much. It speaks to the Zelda fan boys. Etc etc. It's just the way of the world x3

the problem is when people like league of winning support trolling of the games they hate it can be very unfair which is why i hate him
