''Lazy Game Reviews'' is an [[VideoReviewShow online video game review show]] by Clint Basinger reviewing games mostly for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], UsefulNotes/{{Amiga}}, UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}}, UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum and UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh, as well as reviews of ''VideoGame/TheSims'' series. [[NonIndicativeName Despite the title]], reviews are actually extremely extensive and detailed.

** In a semi-behind-the-scenes video he recently made he while filming a review using an IBM [=PCjr=], the fluorescent light bulbs he uses reacted with the infrared wireless keyboard, making the computer think keys were being pressed, causing a neverending stream of beeping noises.

* SelfDeprecation: Every once in a while Clint will make fun of his focus on old computer hardware as well as his habit of [[NostalgiaGoggles getting incredibly nostalgic over strange and often obscure things]].

* SoBadItsGood: [[invoked]] He says this about ''[[VideoGame/SimCity Streets of SimCity]]''.

--> (snap!) "Beard not included, but totally recommended."

* AuthorAppeal: He's a huge ''Duke Nukem'' fan, and tends to reference the series in his videos. He'll also use the game to benchmark contemporary computer systems.

** Clint's joking love of chairs.[[note]]This dates back to a time where he did a joke review of the Sims 3 in response to comments that his content is ignorant and overly negative, saying that the Sims 3 is actually a game about chairs because why else would there be so many of them?[[/note]]]

->''"''This'' is a floppy disk. If seeing one of ''these'' gets you excited, then have I got a treat for you! LGR: commentary, history and snark on retro computer games and more! Floppy disks, big box PC games, odd hardware and software, ''Franchise/TheSims'' series, stories of tech history, first-person thrift-shopping, and [[LetsPlay Let's Plays]] on games that make no sense!''"''

[[NonIndicativeName Despite the title]], reviews are actually extremely extensive and detailed.

* AuthorAvatar: His ''Franchise/TheSims'' reviews will often feature himself as a sim, toting his self-made Lazy Game Reviews T-Shirt.

** In his review of the Christmas game ''Rudolph's Magical Sleigh Ride'', he points out that his copy of the game came in a jewel case for a program called ''Too Many Typefonts'', and quickly makes the connection to ''Series/TooManyCooks''.

* ContemptibleCover: He has a few videos based around this trope (and at least one based around [[AwesomeArt the opposite]]).

** Clint's joking love of chairs.

** In the "Top 17 Games of the 2000's" video, he initially crowns VideoGame/BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing (his #1 game in the "Worst Games of All Time" video) for the #1 spot, before realizing he has the "wrong Top 17 list" and quickly giving the real title to VideoGame/HalfLife2.
** In the "Top 17 Games of 2013" video, VideoGame/CookieClicker is proclaimed to be the #1 game at first. Clint then jokes that he probably could make a genuine case for giving the spot to Cookie Clicke, before gibing it to VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto5.

** When he does a video about VideoGame/TheSims4, the topic of the removal of color wheels and toddlers often come up, as does the topic of the many (mostly useless) stuff packs as cynical money grabs.

** The boxed edition of ''VideoGame/GrimFandango'' he mentions getting during his March/April 2013 wrap-up video makes an appearance at the beginning of his review of VideoGame/TheIncredibleMachine.

** During his ''Town Life Stuff'' review for ''The Sims 3'', at one point in the video while listing some of the objects included, his Sim walks past in nothing but pink underwear.

** Similar to the previous example; he's played ''Fallout 4'' and ''{{VideoGame/Cuphead}}'' on am old black-and-white TV set.

** The Female Lazy Game Reviewer is represented by a picture of Kitty from ArrestedDevelopment.

** He groans about the ThreeDO's name, which is a pun on "audio" and "video".

** In his review of the Christmas game ''Rudolph's Magical Sleigh Ride'', he notes that his copy of the game came in a jewel case for a program called ''Too Many Typefonts'', and quickly makes the connection to ''Series/TooManyCooks''.
