Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 100: R.O.B. the Robot – Episode Review

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) […]

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 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 81: Castlevania – Part III – Episode Review

Another day, another video in the AVGN “Castlevaniathon” from 2009. In this video, James takes a look at Super Castlevania IV on the SNES followed by Castlevania on the Nintendo 64. James opens by setting the stage — it’s the early 90’s, and the NES era is drawing to a close, and a game has […]

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 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 67: Metal Gear – Episode Review

Ah, Metal Gear. Quite the well loved series these days, it had a rocky start in the West, not really gaining popularity until the PlayStation and Metal Gear: Solid, in 1998. Metal Gear has quite the interesting history, having started in the MSX computer platform in Japan. The NES “port” of the original game (if […]

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 60: CD-i Part II – Zelda: Wand of Gamelon – Episode Review

Here we go, it’s finally time for the Zelda CD-i games. Oh man, I can only imagine how hyped the fans of the Angry Video Game Nerd were to see these episodes. The video clips from the games were legendary in the early days of YouTube (being often used in many comedy video edits) and […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 59: CD-i Part I – Hotel Mario – Episode Review

It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games. Namely, the ones featuring Nintendo properties. For a very, very brief back story, the CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) hardware was the end result of Phillips […]

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 […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 51: Superman 64 – Episode Review

Here’s an episode that, at the time, fans of The Angry Video Game Nerd were begging for – Superman on the Nintendo 64. However, since fans like to call it “Superman 64” James takes this opportunity for a joke he can’t even keep a straight face through – he opens by covering a Superman game […]

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 48: Indiana Jones Trilogy – Episode Review

Ah, Indiana Jones. A rather well loved film series from the same man who brought us Star Wars… and a film series which seems to have gotten the same treatment as Star Wars all those years later. This Angry Video Game Nerd episode focuses on games from the Indiana Jones trilogy and was released originally […]
