    Great follow-up to AVGN

    I'm going to try and make this review short and sweet, but please excuse me if I ramble. This show is to James Rolfe, what "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is to Larry David. A great follow up to an already great show.

    This show started with an uncharacteristic review of a board game, Mouse Trap, by James Rolfe. Well, that video was very popular, so Rolfe created a new character that would specifically review board games. His good friend Mike Matei is given a bigger role than he usually has on AVGN (where he plays various characters) which is great because now, Rolfe finally has another character to interact with.

    There are only eight episodes so far, and I look forward to more. The only criticism I have is that it isn't quite as good as AVGN, but that doesn't mean it's not great.

    If the first seven episodes don't do it for you, I highly recommend the episode entitled "Mr. Bucket", which is, one, the most popular episode of the series, and two, one of the best films Mr. Rolfe has ever made.

    The final word: Just terrific, informative and very funny! 9/10

    Board James = Entertained me

    Being a big AVGN fan I thought James Rolfe had struck comedy gold with his series so how do you meet that level of hilarity again the answer was reviewing board games.

    This Web series is genius as James reviews old board games from our past he brings his friends along as how can you play board games without your friends.

    The sketchs are amazing some crazy with a crazy toy bucket attacking them a toy phone stalker and more this series doesn't just review board games it brings them to life.

    With a great cast lots of swearing and antics you'll laugh hysterically add this Web series to your favourite playlists

    RIP to the last great series from Cinemassacre.

    I've spent so much time disliking, resenting everything bad one of my former favorite channels and creator's has become, I'm writing this as a reminder of my grattitude for the intricate lulz Cinemassacre once brought me!

    The first season is a -true- masterpiece, before thing's get too cerebral, but James sure is a fan of psychological horror and sci-fi elements, and the exuberance the creator(s) had for the content, the character's, the all around good-times bled through to create art which vastly exceeds the sum of it's (modest) parts.

    RIP Bootsy, Kyle, now EMM EFFER Mike, and James is as good as dead to me, in his current state.

    Board James, you will be missed.

    Just As Good As AVGN That Doesn't Disappoint!

    I mean wow, who knew board game reviews could be done in such a fun way! I'm disappointed Cinemassacre stopped this series. Hopefully they bring it back cause I enjoy them. Check it out if you're a fan of AVGN, you won't be disappointed.

    Who knew that board game reviews could be this entertaining?

    James Rolfe decided that it would be a good idea to do another AVGN-style web series, but this time he reviews board games. And it's absolutely awesome! These reviews are well written and it's clever how the episodes all intertwine and all reference back to each other. There are three main characters in this series, and in every episode, they either play a game in a montage, we watch them play it, or they just jump straight to a conclusion. They normally are followed by a comedy/horror sketch. Mostly comedy. Great examples are the "Mr. Bucket" review and the "Dream Phone" review. For those questioning if they should give it a shot, DO IT! Even though AVGN is better, the Cinemassacre style is written all over it, and it's (surprisingly) a very good time.
