Review: xLane
Graphics: You have some positives things going for you in my opinion. First off I really do like the banner and profile picture you have set up. That blue electric theme is really awesome and is enjoyable to look at. Some things I think will help your channel is setting up some thumbnails. Instead of just having in game pictures maybe set up a template for a specific series then go from there. I noticed you mixed in some, but most appear to not have a thumbnail. Also (and this is one of my own problems) you should personalize your intro and have someone make it or make it yourself. I actually have the same generic intro and need to get mine changed too.
Audio: Your mic sounds fairly good and is actually perfect. One thing I tend not to like (personal preference) is when you can hear someone’s controller in the background of their gameplay. That isn’t necessarily something you should fix, but rather something I’m not too fond of. Other than that your audio quality is perfectly fine. One thing I suggest you try to improve on is your energy. In the sense of not being too monotone and convey a sense of enthusiasm a little bit more. On a good note you seem to have a good direction with what you wanna say and don’t say the phrase ummmm too much.
Visually: Everything seems to be in order there and it all is in HD which is more than some youtubers can say.
Overall I think you have a good channel going and with minor improvements(as all of us always need to make) I can see people enjoying your content.

Actually I don't know at all XD I have just been producing 5 times a week. One video has almost 100 views umm one thing that as helped though is going to gaming forums. For example my battlefield 4 vids I typically go to the BF4 forums and post videos there. Stuff like that has seemed to help a lot actually. Of course sharing with friends and all of that.

Your banner is pretty good. Your profile pic is good too, but it looks like it might be distorted, unless that's how it's supposed to look. You should think about making thumbnails for your videos, with you logo on them. You may also want to update your intro sequence (it's kind of generic) and add an outro sequence as well. As for you content, it's pretty good. You sound like you are comfortable on the mic and you have some good commentary. Like FrostTee said, you may want to work on your energy level. Keep at it! Your channel has potential.
Could you take a look at my channel. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I reviewed the wrong person. Hehe derp.
Banner & Avatar: Your banner and avatar look great. The theme matches your name, and gives an overall great feeling about your channel from the start. I like how you incorporated the snowflake into your name. That was a good touch. The text seems a bit blurry, but that could be the font.
Thumbnails: Your thumbnails are alright. A lot of the text is difficult to read because of the font color, or the font itself. Try making the text easily to read, and make sure it doesn't clash with the background too much. It also may be best to make different thumbnails for all your videos, even those in the same series. (For example, your Madden videos, or 2k14 GM videos. This separates the videos from each other, and makes it easier to tell them apart. You can also put episode numbers in the corner of your videos, instead of "Episode 1, 2, etc". I personally believe this looks better.
Titles: I noticed some videos have (PS4) in the title. I suggest getting rid of that, because what console it is on does not matter in terms of your videos. Some have "BF4 Gameplay", and I believe they can do without that. Just put that information in the description and/or tags. Your videos have episode names, which is good. I suggest putting the episode number at the end of the video title. Put the episode title before the number. It looks better this way. Plus sometimes titles get cut off, and you want people to see the episode name rather than what number it is.
Description: Try to keep all your descriptions in the same format. I went to three videos, and each one had a different set up. Your latest video (Madden 25, Ep. 3) has a good description format. Though your social media links, none of them are actually links. This happens when you type the link, instead of copy+paste the links. Be sure to visit each of your pages, copy the url, and paste it into the description. This allows people to click on them, instead of copy+paste, or searching for them.
*Very Important* Remove all those extra tags. This is against YouTube's ToS, and can get your channel taken down. This happened to MrTechnicalDifficult, a channel with 2M+ subs. You don't want to get your channel terminated because of this.
Video Quality/Content
Quality is in HD, that is good. Your commentary is pretty good as well. I'm not a big fan of post commentary, I like live commentary more, though that's just me. Your voice sounds good, sounds like you have a good mic. You do sound a little bit too over enthusiastic though. I feel like I'm listening to a sports newscaster
Intro/Outro
Your intro is very basic and overused. I see that intro across many different channels, so it looses it's originality and uniqueness. It would be better to get a custom made intro to make your channel stand out from other channels. I think going with the theme of frost would look really cool.
Your outro is alright, though it can be improved by adding links to your previous videos, or other series. This will help bring more views to your other videos, and encourage people to watch more.
Overall
Your video content, quality, and commentary is good. I think you are heading in the right direction, and once you start to find an audience you'll begin to grow. The hardest part is getting your videos out to those who are interested in that content. You can work on a few things, but it's nothing major. Remember to get rid of those extra tags, you don't want them to effect your channel. - 8/10
