Video Game AWESOME! is a Let's Play series where Fraser Agar and his co-host play video games. Unlike most Let's Plays, this show focuses on the players and less on the game, and it features a camera recording the hosts.
There are multiple variations to this show. Examples are Long Hauls, where it's a full playthrough of a game oppose to the First Looks where the crew only play a game for a few hours and give their impressions, and sometimes they return to it again. An another example would be Show and Trailers, where the hosts takes a look at various video game and movie trailers and videos from the internet. Fraser has stated that Show and Trailer is not a 'reaction series'.
The comedy of the show is mainly sarcasm and trolling.
