It’s bloody hot. Too hot to go out and do anything, so why not stay inside and game? Okay, that was an introduction to this entry, but seriously, it is hot out there – August is here and with the new month are new Games with Gold and, amazingly, I’m actually getting to covering them […]
Moving swiftly along to the June games with Gold lineup we actually have a post which is on time and not halfway through the month? Amazing! You know what else is amazing? Not this game lineup! Okay, no, I’d never call a GWG lineup “amazing” and if I have in the past please let me […]
Man, I’m glad I got to this one on time. Yep, I’m super happy I didn’t have to write this a month late and change the publish date so it doesn’t look like I completely forgot. Nope, that’s not what happened at all 😉 Yeah, I know, this one’s completely pointless now but I have […]
Damnit, I did it again — I got busy and put off covering this months Games With Gold lineup until the middle of the freaking month! I’ve got to stop doing that but, again, better late than never I guess, right? Let’s get into it. Starting off on the Modern lineup we have Vikings: Wolves […]
It’s the 12th and final day of Shitsmas and, as hinted at in the previous video the final gift the Nerd opens is a product by LJN. This time it isn’t just a game, but an entire game system! Well, not quite — it’s more of an early computer graphics device. Of course, it’s bad. […]
For the 10th day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens not just a single game, but an entire freaking game system! Yep, for this one he gets a bit more than he hoped for with the Hyperscan game console released in 2006. Yes, James was already well into the AVGN series when this console was released […]
It’s day 6 of Shitsmas – that’s right, we’re halfway through this insanity, and here we are looking at a rarity for the Nerd – A GameBoy Color game! In this case, a game based on the Olsen twins and a then-current TV show they were the stars of. This has to be awesome right? […]
For the second day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens up a game for the Sega Master System – ALF, based on the 80’s TV show of the same name. This is one of those super frustrating one hit and you’re dead games. Add that in with poor overall design and controls and, well, if you’ve […]
We’re moving right along to the 2014 Holiday season and this time around we have not one, not two, but twelve episodes to cover! Yes, 2014 marked an interesting Cinemassacre spin on the “12 days of Christmas” concept with the “12 days of Shitsmas” – 12 days, 12 quick reviews of 12 often requested games. […]
Here we have it – the most requested game for the nerd to Nerd review — the one everyone wanted, covering what has for many years been called the worst game ever – E.T. for the Atari 2600. This also is certainly the most unique episode as it’s not actually a real episode – it’s […]
This is a bit of a special AVGN episode. It was released 10 years after James had originally recorded the original “Bad Video Games” video on Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, and acted as a bit of an anniversary video on that front. It also was the last episode before the AVGN Movie, and equally acted […]
In part 2 of this holiday wish list themed episode the Nerd spends more time covering an assortment of video games he has been often requested to review — a “wish list” as it were of reviews. We get right to the chase with this one, opening up with “A Boy and his Blob” for […]
It’s Time for the holiday 2013 episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd – a two part set of episodes based on the classic holiday idea of a “wish list.” Yes, in this pair of episodes the Nerd goes over quite a few games that many fans have been wishing he would talk about but, […]
I know, I know – it’s the beginning of December, but the Halloween 2013 episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is what’s next in the queue, so it’s what we’re looking at today. The episode opens with a plug for Monster Madness, the annual Cinemassacre Halloween event which would have been underway when this […]
It’s time to scrape the bottom of the barrel. In this episode, the Nerd takes a look at games produced by Tiger Electronics. As is discussed in the episode, any kid who grew up in the late 80’s or early 90’s will certainly remember these things and just how terrible they were! Before the episode […]
