Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 56: Dick Tracey – Episode Review

Ah Dick Tracey. That name takes me back to the early 90’s quite well. As this episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd explains in its opening, Dick Tracey was a major motion picture release in 1990, based off of a somewhat obscure comic strip from the 30’s. While there had been other media based […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 55: Battletoads – Episode Review

Moving on from the relative disaster that is the Deadly Towers review, we get to an Angry Video Game Nerd episode that’s much better – Battletoads. Battletoads, developed by Rare (the same people who would later create titles like Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye 007) released this rather well loved game in 1991. It blended […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 54: Deadly Towers – Episode Review

Here we have a bit of a unique AVGN episode. The game being focused on is a well enough known “bad” game for the system, called “Deadly Towers.” This time, however, the video script was a chance for the fans to participate in the production of an episode! The way it worked was this: As […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 53: Batman: Part II – Episode Review

Moving on immediately from the last episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, we have James, dressed as Batman and playing various Batman video games, being held captive by Mike Matei, playing the Joke, forcing the Nerd to play more Batman games, these having more of a focus on the Joker himself rather than more […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 47: NES Accessories – Episode Review

Following up from the end of the previous episode, this time The Nerd takes a look at many accessories produced for the Nintendo Entertainment System during its life. Really, it’s a subject that a book could easily be written on, but here I think James does an okay job demonstrating some of the items available […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 37: Dragon’s Lair – Episode Review

Dragons Lair was an amazing game for its day. At least, an impressive one, anyway, for appearances, if not for gameplay. It used a LaserDisc system to play video clips that the player would react to, making decisions to progress in the game. Think “Quick Time Events” in games like God of War, Shenmue, and […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 34: Fester’s Quest – Episode Review

As promised in the Nintendo Power episode, the next video James did for the Angry Video Game Nerd covered the NES game Fester’s Quest, a rather unique video game adaptation of the classic Addams Family franchise. The entire episode is really a tribute to the Addams Family, with James playing all the members of the […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 31: Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Blowout – Episode Review

Time for another episode in the same style as Spider-Man or the 2006 Halloween episodes – this one is another one split between gameplay footage and a review, and some live action storytelling with James and his friend Mike Matei. In this case, the game being covered is “Bugs Bunny’s Birthday Blowout,” a game released […]
