* ''Sage Reviews'', in which he covers recent video games in a traditional analytical review style (ie, to help viewers decide whether or not to purchase them) rather than purely for entertainment.

Bennett also makes regular cameos in other TGWTG personalities' videos, where he portrays himself with a sadistic persona, thanks to an early crossover with ''[[Ask That Guy With The Glasses]]''. He does an annual anime review crossover with [[The Spoony Experiment|the Spoony One]] (which led to the creation of ''Anime Abandon'') and makes frequent appearances on ''[[JesuOtaku|The JesuOtaku Anime Review]]'', where he subjects her to truly horrendous softcore garbage.

* [[The Abridged Series]]: Did ''[[Elfen Lied]] Abridged'', which is currently on hiatus.

* [[Accentuate the Negative]]: 90% of his game reviews are like this (it seems like the only triple-A FPS title he genuinely liked over the past few years were ''[[Killzone]] 3'' and ''[[Resistance]] 3'', two titles he really gushes over, while cross-platform and Xbox titles tend to get much more critical treatment). Unlike [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]] or Bennett's own Anime Abandon reviews, the negativity is played completely straight instead of done in a bombastic, jokey manner, which has led detractors to complain it comes across as grouchy, nitpicky, and [[Feigning Intelligence]].
