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 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.

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 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 […]
