Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 101: Spielberg Games – Episode Review

Here we go: Episode 101 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and the end of Season 5! This time the Nerd is taking a look at a bunch of games based on films by the acclaimed director Steven Spielberg. Of course, since we’re talking about games based on the NES (for the most part) based […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 96: Lester the Unlikely – Episode Review

Here we have a much more traditional Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This time, James takes a look at an SNES game that I had never heard of up until this point called “Lester the Unlikely.” Picking the game “at random” the Nerd right off the bat doubts the game is going to be good […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 92: Game Glitches – Episode Review

Moving on from the nightmare that is Action 52 the Angry Video Game Nerd takes a bit of a twist, in this episode covering “game glitches” in all their various forms. We start off with an intentionally glitched version of the opening. Once that crashes (literally) we get to the Nerd just trying to enjoy […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 90: Action 52 – Episode Review

Time to start on Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and what a game James chose to look at for this episode — Action 52 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is legendary among gamers for the same reason many games James has covered in the series are: it’s terrible. The difference […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 88: Swordquest – Episode Review

The Atari era of gaming was something special. It was a time period where things were kind of wild and companies were throwing pretty much anything out there to see what would take. Atari itself, as a company, was doing wonderfully and the VCS, later renamed the 2600, was dominating the gaming scene. This success […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 87: Ninja Gaiden – Episode Review

This time we have another big production from the Nerd, this time on a very well known game that happens to be one I personally had as a kid (I actually still have my original copy) and have strong memories with — Ninja Gaiden for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Episode starts off, incidentally enough, […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 84: Winter Games – Episode Review

Here we have the “Holiday” episode for 2009. Recall that Castlevaniathon went into November, meaning December 2009 had the previous episode, Little Red Hood, and this episode, Winter Games. Yeah, no Bible games this time around, just some frosty Winter gaming enjoyment. Okay more like frozen Winter crap. What we have here is a game […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 83: Little Red Hood – Episode Review

Following the absolute epic that was Castlevaniathon, James decided to stick to something a little more straightforward for the next episode of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Still, he manages to pick one of the most odd games yet, in this case, Little Red Hood on the NES. This one is interesting. It’s an unlicensed […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 82: Castlevania – Part IV – Episode Review

And here we are, Halloween day, and part four of “Castlevaniathon!” What a perfect day to finish this series on! Things pick up right where they left off — with James blowing his character up in Castlevania 64, disappointed with what the game was. As James would put it, he was looking in the wrong […]

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 75: Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle – Episode Review

Has it really been 75 episodes already? Man, I’ve been getting these reviews out at a pretty good pace! Anyway, this time we take a look at an Angry Video Game Nerd episode which had quite a bit of hype and promotion around it back in 2009 – Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle! Where the past […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 74: Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties – Episode Review

Ah, here we have one of the best episodes of “The Angry Video Game Nerd;” Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. The game in question is, as I can best class it, a “storytelling” game for the short lived 3DO platform, an early CD-ROM based 32-bit system, with all the quirks and nuances you would expect of […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 73: Mario Is Missing! – Episode Review

It’s time for a trip into “Edutainment” territory here with some Mario games which I’m quite certain disappointed every single kid in the early 90’s – Mario is Missing and Mario’s Time Machine. Oh how I remember these games. It was fitting by this time in the series James would cover these atrocities to the […]

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 […]

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 […]
