Chrontendo is indeed a Video Review Show, but thinking that it is just that would be rather simple-minded. It has some underlying questions which it is trying to answer thanks to its series.
1: Why would a certain company exactly make the games that it makes?
2: What are the typical trademarks of that company?
3: How did the gaming industry evolve over time?
The fact that he is trying to answer the last question is also the reason why he plays his video games in chronological order, because otherwise you would have a vague view of the industry back then. It also helps explaining why he keeps chronologies of Genres/Companies/Consoles, since they sometimes form an important key to help you understand the answers.
