I'm pretty certain uploading copyrighted game trailers doesn't qualify for the Partner thing under their own rules. This doesn't stop people doing it of course, and companies won't take down because they want as wide an audience as possible for trailers.

Making commentary and adding it IS fine. I'm familiar with a few Starcraft II commentators who are partners.

What is the nature of your current content? Original or not? If it's being mistakenly flagged you should be able to contact support.

Youtube's method of identification is to compare the video to a database of copyrighted content. So to avoid it you make your video sufficiently different to the database version to avoid a match, but without changing it so a human would notice. Hence audio pitch, mirroring etc. You would need to re-encode your videos, probably with expensive video editing software, and try out these changes until one works. But I can't recommend you do that.
