Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 77: Godzilla – Episode Review

If you were to ask anyone about Japanese monster movies, the firs thing that would probably come to their mind is the Godzilla franchise. As one might expect, James Rolfe is a Godzilla fan, and has been since his youth when he would on occasion see Godzilla films on TV. Later in life, he would […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 76: Super Pitfall! – Episode Review

After the insanity that was the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle episode, it’s only fitting we go back to a more traditional Nerd episode, and for this one we take a look at Super Pitfall for the NES! The episode begins with an incredibly brief overview on the character Pitfall Harry — the guy you’re playing […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 72: Transformers – Episode Review

In this Angry Video Game Nerd episode James takes a look at a couple of games in the Transformers franchise, one for the Commodore 64 and one for the Nintendo Famicom. Opening up, the Nerd poses the question of what format you usually play games on. For the most part, in the case of the […]

Adding Images To AVGN Articles – The Final Update

It took quite a few hours of downloading, image selecting, editing, uploading, and article refinement to make it happen, but it’s actually complete — every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode review here on Xadara has at least one image associated with it! I’d estimate it took about 5 hours of solid work to make […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 71: Terminator 2: Judgment Day – Episode Review

Naturally, you can’t have a review of games based on the film The Terminator without covering games made based on its sequel – “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”, and James wasted no time after the previous episode releasing this one to cover games based in the amazing 1992 sequel to the 1984 classic. The episode opens […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 70: The Terminator – Episode Review

The Terminator franchise, at least, at the time of the early 90’s, was pretty amazing. With “The Terminator” in 1984 and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in 1992, the struggle for humanities survival from an apocalypse of its own creation was well established in popular consciousness and with the rise in popularity of game consoles, it […]

YouTube Changed Their API. Again. This Broke Video Downloads. Again.

I really don’t much like YouTube anymore. I haven’t for years now, but it, like Google, is one of those necessary evils in the digital life of most everyone. I’ll fully admit it’s where a majority of the video content I watch originates, but that’s simply because everyone puts their content there, and I watch […]

Adding Episode Images to AVGN Articles – Progress Update 2

Last month a began a process to update all of my previous Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to have images from the episode being reviewed. This was something I neglected when starting the project and in retrospect wish I had done from the beginning. In any case, the last batch of episodes I did […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 69: X-Men – Episode Review

Ah, the X-Men; an incredibly well loved superhero franchise originating in the 60’s which experienced somewhat of a revival of popular interest in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Growing up I was quite familiar with the franchise, at least in the state it was presented at that time, and recall quite a few games […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 68 Bonus – Behind The Scenes

A little bit of something different as an immediate follow-up, here we have the “behind the scenes” footage of James and Mike playing the Magnavox Odyssey. This is basically the raw footage filmed for the episode, and is quite funny in its own right seeing as it’s 2 friends sharing the experience of playing the […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 64: Milon’s Secret Castle – Episode Review

We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 63: Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker – Episode Review

Time for another Angry Video Game Nerd episode review, and this time we have The Nerd’s review of Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis! This episode was filmed just a few months before Michael Jackson’s death and as such speaks of him in the present-tense when opening the video, contrasting how many forget that a man […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 62: Bible Games II – Episode Review

It’s Christmas in July! Okay, not really, this is just how the scheduling (if you can call it that) for these episode reviews worked out, so today we’re taking a look at the second “Bible Games” Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This one is a bit of an interesting one — it was the first […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 61: CD-i Part III – Zelda’s Adventure – Episode Review

Alright, we’re at the end of the Angry Video Game Nerd Phillips CD-i Trilogy! What a terrible show it’s been so far. I mean, the CD-i and the games presented, not the Nerd, he’s great here! Honestly these are some pretty good “golden age” Nerd episodes, and this one is a great ending to the […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 58: Frankenstein – Episode Review

Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics. James is playing the Nerd as Dr. Frankenstein (or, well, Dr. Franken-Nerd, I guess, to be accurate to the story) who creates a […]
