In my case, Brad seems to enjoy the same kind of games and enjoys the same aspects of games as me. As for the least similar it would be either Ryan or Jeff

I have no idea. Each and everyone of those persons like something I like a lot and then like something I don't care for.... at all. 
 
Maybe if you tossed Drew on that list I could at least press a button.

My gaming tastes are a combination of Jeff and Brad. They are only ones who play competitive multiplayer games.

Mine is most definitely Brad, judging from his GOTY. Also, maybe it's because he seems to be the resident PS3 gamer.

Vinny, but a few disagreements here and there. I'm probably furthest from Jeff.

Jeff comes closest, but to be honest, I don't think I line up too well with any of the GB crew. It's more an overall site tone that fits me.

I have to say... Vinny? He's said he isn't much of a multiplayer gamer, IIRC. I rarely play games online, mainly because I utterly and completely suck. But to be honest, getting to the specific stuff, I can't say who's taste matches mine. They all like and dislike things I like and dislike.

Vinny has to win this, just because he seems the least.. needing of all? He seems like he can have a good time with just about anything, for the most part.

Mine is Dave and Vinny, and a dash of Brad and Ryan. I don't agree with Jeff at all; ever. All he likes are shooters, fighters (Mortal Kombat vs DC a 5 star!?!?!) and crazy-bad games. Dave for his utter nerdism and Vinny because he just seems like he'll play anything to have a good time.

For me, it's Jeff. I seems to have a similar opinion on most games in a lot of cases.

A combination of Brad, Vinny, and Dave, but I went with Brad for the poll.

I chose Vinny. However, I think that Vinny just has a really casual attitude to gaming that appeals to me most. We're both happy to try anything so long as it's good.

Unless someone knows the staff well enough to tell me who finds all the genres fun given the right games, none of them would have a similar taste to games that I have.  I just enjoy good games and have experienced them in basically every genre at some point in time.  I've never been exclusively interested in any particular genres either as I don't like limiting my options for games to consider trying out.

@ShiftyMagician: That's fair enough, but at some point when listening to podcasts or reviews or even the top 10 lists, don't you expect one of the staff to have the same opinion of a game as you?

Turn ons - Story driven single player experiences.
Turn offs - Online multiplayer
 
So I picked Vinny, he talks a lot of sense. I probably disagree the most with Brad, throughout the entire game of the year podcasts I just kept thinking he was on the wrong side of the argument.

A mix of Dave and Vinny, but I chose Dave because I'm also into slightly janky "Eastern Bloc" video games. I eat those up for breakfast. YUMMO. (OH GOD I HATE THAT WORD SO MUCH).

Probably Vinny, he seems the most optimistic when diving into a new game, and still manages to find fun even if the game is terrible. I have to throw in a little bit of Brad, though, due to my affinity for StarCraft 2. 
 
Vinny also definitely wins Most Similar Sense of Humor.

for me is a Dave, Brad and Vinny combo, mostly Dave though.
 
Dave loves the hardcore games like me, Brad is very eclectic I think, more open minded, not dismissing great games like Flower, Vinny won points with me for being the only one on the crew to at least give Demons Souls a chance(for what I can remember anyway), also he prefers Morrowind, nuff said and Jeff and Ryan are pretty much the definition of mass market.

Oh definitely.  There were plenty of times where one of them had a similar view of a game that I did along with dissimilar views.  At times I agreed with Jeff's enthusiasm for Mass Effect 2 whilst also sharing Brad's viewpoint of Bioware's excessive changing of the formula to be almost a straight shooter with arbitrary levels and a smaller variety of abilities and weapon/armour options.

I just thought your question was spanning the overall tastes of each staff member and had a tough time myself actually relating to any one of them under that line of thought.  Apologies if I thought wrong there.

It is interesting that Vinny is winning so much.  I remember when he first started doing podcasts back at GS and I thought  "What is this video guy doing on podcasts?  There's no video on podcasts!", but the more I hear from him, the more I think his opinion matches mine.

Well I guess Vinny because my game of the year list for 2010 where almost identical, but I think all of the giantbomb guys are great trust their opinion over any other gaming site

Voted for Ryan, mostly on the basis of the number of Wii games he seems happy enough to play. Plus, I think he likes the Rabbids even more than I do. :)
 
Otherwise I would say Jeff, because he loves super weird shit and pinball.

Vinny has to be the closest to my tastes, with Ryan as a close second. But I agree (and disagree for that matter) with all of the guys on some games.

Probably Vinny. He's the only staff member that I haven't extremely disagreed with.

Definitely Brad. It's thanks to his reviews of games like Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts and Far Cry 2 that I've had some of my most enjoyable gaming experiences.

Vinny definitely. 
 
I very very rarely play multiplayer, I love a good narrative, I rarely ever hate a game, I find flower dumb beyond the tech demo-y "Hey look I'm moving the controller to do this" thing, and I'll often randomly check out an odd game that quietly released several years ago or something (The Whispered World, whatever the Sherlock Holmes thing was that Vinny bought during some Steam sale and actually played) and I'll also check out games that somehow caught my interest with some random mechanic, even when I know they probably aren't all that great. (Vinny said he has Dante's Inferno and The Saboteur ready to go, I recently bought Folklore)
 
So yeah...

None of them. I care for gameplay and hate story/social simulator "games" and artsy games. About 80% would disagree with my tastes.

Ryan. I appreciate Vinny's enthusiasm for story-driven games but some times I just want to shoot people or make a ghost train or other crazy shit

Vinny. Jeff and Brad are just ass backwards in terms of the things I like in games. Like honestly sometimes the things either of them complain about I pay no attention to, doesn't even strike me as odd, or I even like. Whereas Vinny seems to appreciate games for the same reasons as I do sometimes. Not saying all the time though, this is only based on what I've seen of Vinny. Dave would probably be second.

Vinny has the most eclectic tastes. Rather, he doesn't go in with a predetermined opinion and likes a whole bunch of genres/titles. Jeff is just the fucking antithesis of that. 
 
Dave also tends toward the same stuff, but that's probably inherent of most PC gamers.
