I used to watch CGR reviews so much. Mark has a very distinct sense of humor and taste in video games. The only problem I found was that Mark did so many reviews back to back. He used to put a video almost everyday. I don't know maybe if he did just one review per week that would be nice. Glad to know that CGR will be coming back.

Edit: adding Instagram reel link is nightmare

Meh, I think his humor is not clicking with me anymore. I'll give it a watch, but I doubt that flamethrower jokes will entertain me anymore.

Great news! Thanks for sharing. One of the all time great gaming channels, hopefully it's successful and undertow makes a comeback too.

My issue with the channel was that these were reviews in name only. He'd usually just play the first couple hours and that was it.

Yeah but it was funny. I also found it funny that he would put "this is a journalistic review of..." In the intro. I remember the MUSHA review was 2 or 3 videos of him just playing through the entire game level by level with some cuts and editing. Also Shinobi review was the same. But it was fun.

He's been doing this since 1999 before youtube was even a thing

Honestly i don't think anybody really watched his review for in depth analysis.

It was more entertainment, he use to review random old games/old console hardware as well which really differentiated his channel years ago.

hearing his voice gives me serious nostalgia. I was watching his early videos on forums back in 2001. lol

Glad to see he's coming back. The 'influencer community' that is youtube / social media reviewers is beyond cringe at this point, need more people like Mark to get back into things

I'm in.

No need to attack him, he has the right to have different opinion. Just leave him be.

TRUXTON!!!

I'm glad he's going to give it another go. Sure, he might not be able to make money off Youtube like in the old days when he was basically the king of the gaming review scene, but I still enjoyed his content. It was sad what became of his channel over the last few years, just trying to sell merchandise and his comic books.

Now in an extended format

 

[SpiceRacz]

I'll definitely check it out. I think the time away from CGR was good for him. Feels like he's actually enjoying it again and he's got over whatever grievance he's had with YT.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Still follow the channel. Glad he's back to doing more of what I liked him doing before.

Superb pilot for the new long form format. Marks still got it. All hail Lord Karnage
