It’s the 11th day of Shitsmas. We’re almost done with game after horrible game, but not before we hit the final two, and today we have a pretty big one to contend with – Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure for the GameCube. Now, this seems like an awesome idea — a video game where you […]
Welcome to the 7th day of Shitsmas, and for today’s present the Nerd is greeted with the PlayStation game V.I.P, based on the TV show of the same name starring the actress Pamela Anderson. James wasted no time in opening up with something that anyone in my age range already knows — this woman’s name […]
For the 4th day of Shitsmas we get Ren & Stimpy: Fire Dogs for the SNES. We get a small take from the Nerd on the cartoon the game is based on, followed by a very quick look at the other games in this small series before the main subject, based on a Ren & […]
It’s time for the Halloween AVGN episode for 2014 (yes, this was a relatively short year for episodes) and this time the Nerd is taking a look at Beetlejuice for the NES. Yep, it’s another LJN game, based on a very good 80’s film, so you know the game is going to be bad. Incidentally, […]
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 […]
Here we have a bit of an odd one in AVGN history, as it wouldn’t be a game you’d expect yet it’s the perfect candidate for the Nerd’s review style: Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. This is a rather infamous PC title from as recently as 2003 (just a little over 10 years before […]
It’s time for what has to be one of the most “meta” episodes of the series, as this time the Nerd takes a look at games based on himself! Yep, Angry Video Game Nerd games are the subject of episode 115. This was done primarily as a promotional effort for the then new (and recently […]
Well well, it’s October and with perfect timing the next AVGN episode on the review list is the Halloween episode for 2012 – Ghosts n’ Goblins! That’s right, in this episode James takes on not just one of the more difficult games in the NES library, but a game that has haunted him since his […]
Here we have the 2011 Halloween AVGN episode – Dark Castle for the Sega Genesis. The Nerd introduces the episode pondering on why the NES had so many terrible games for it, and decides to give the big, bad 16 bit Sega Genesis a go as a change of pace, and the game of choice […]
Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd was a bit of a departure from the previous few years of the show. This season had far fewer episodes than previous ones, as James began to focus his efforts on other projects including the beginning of production in earnest of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The […]
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 […]
Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) […]
It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the […]
It’s time for Christmas in… February? What? Yeah, that’s just how the episode reviews panned out — we’re at another Holiday episode already and it’s mid-February. At least in Season 4 when we had Winter Games it was a bit more generic of an episode. This time around, as the title suggests, we get an […]
