Oh god this guy is terrible.

Some guys over at SomethingAwful have been doing riffs on top of these videos which show you just how ridiculous they are. Here are some samples (I particularly recommend the ones in bold):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEaGhweF1g0 - Goldeneye
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3QpyWKOZ74 - Formula One
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXzxJjIXHik - Donkey Kong Country
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hoh_c-WRNs - Contender
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8LFOVGUt2g - N64 vs PlayStation

OMG that SFA2 video was fucking hilarious! This can't be real, can it?

Interesting points from the video:

- Charlie was turned into Blanka by M Bison - the ingame Charlie is the pre transformation version
- Akuma is the games final boss and is a cross between a ninja and a neanderthal (yet the video shows parts of Charlie and Rose's endings - neither of which had Akuma as a boss)
- Sodom is a ::ahem:: "robot freak"
- The best way to beat the game is to set the difficult to one star and one round and kick your way to victory

and my favorite by far...

- Fighters with powerful legs are the best characters - at which point he then gives a list of powerfully legged fighters!!

LMAO :LOL: rofl there's no way this was ever real. NO ONE could be this stupid.....

These videos just leave me dumbfounded, and I can't stop watching them. My favorite so far is when he says that if you don't like Donkey Kong Country then you are stupid. Also the Goldeneye review destroyed a large part of my brain. I don't know if these are real or an elaborate troll, but they are really funny.

Oh, they're apparently quite real. Apparently these reviews were produced for some TV programme back in the 90s, and one of the guys involved has been uploading them to Youtube.

The actual website for this stuff is somewhat dumbfounding as well: http://www.navgtr.org

Final Fantasy Tactics: "90% of the dialogue is unnecessary".
EDIT:
Pokemon: "Academy Award winning character development"
