I only saw Angry Joe recently due to that blood bowl league they're doing at TGS, was trying to check out what are all those other people doing and see videos from other matches than TB vs Dodger.
Can't say I fully formed my opinion on him yet, I have a feeling the reviews are bit too long and I like Yahtzee from ZeroPunctuation who is more to the point I think and has funny way about his reviews. Angry Joe seems to by trying to be funny though, just may be sometimes trying too hard?
I try to judge reviewers by games I played and see if I agree or not with what they have to say and in that regard only have seen XCOM so far from Angry Joe. And I gotta say I mostly agreed with him so.. yay for him? Maybe on the "dumbed down" vs "streamlined" scale when comparing to the original I tend to be closer to the "dumbed down", but that's really subjective and not all that important.

I watch him solely for the laughs even though he does make some good points regarding the games from time to time. I usually avoid reviews; just watch gameplay and determine whether I like the game or not. TB and him are the only people currently on YT that I actually watch :D

Because he is honest, enjoys, what he is doing, and he has some character! He is not some bribed-dull-muttering-wannabe-"epic 10/10"-"game critic".
TotalBiscuit and Angry Joe are the ones I watch, when I want some honest review/preview about something.

Only recently watched a few of his reviews and I guess he's... ok. Haven't watched enough to form a full opinion. At least those are actually reviews unlike some other "reviewers".
TB on the other hand I find completely intolerable. He has his good moments, but the guy keeps whining all the time. Pretty much anything he finds remotely hard is a bad game design and he sucks so much at some games while trash-talking them that it's embarrassing.
In any case I prefer Yahtzee over those two- his reviews are filled with a lot of exaggeration and jokes, but in the end he does point out all the flaws of the game and usually keeps his personal preferences for the jokes instead of the actual review parts.
That said, who cares. They're just people who give some limited information on the games. If a game sucks VERY bad, you're likely to hear about it without them. If it does not, then even if slightly bad the game still has a chance to appeal to you. I think of those reviewers as comedy material, nothing more. :D

I enjoy watching Angry Joe reviews because they balance The Cynical Brit and Spoony quite nicely. If I had to pick just one reviewer, however, I'd go with Spoony.
