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 57: Dracula – Episode Review
Is it Halloween already? No, not really. Not at all — it’s still June right now, but this is where we are in the Angry Video Game Nerd series and as such today we’ll be looking at an episode focusing on games based on the Dracula story. The Nerd isn’t doing the most obvious ones …

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 …

The Xbox E3 2019 Presentation
I know, I know — I said last year I wasn’t going to cover E3 this year and I’m not. Hell, I didn’t know and wasn’t intending on watching Microsoft’s presentation yesterday but a friend made me aware of it and suggested I check it out so we could talk about it later in actual …

How To Fail At Giving Away The PlayStation Classic
I know, I’ know — I’m beyond late for writing about this. Get over it, I wanted to weigh in myself on this hilarious little attempt Best Buy made back in late April on getting rid of some of their certainly slow-moving stock of the PlayStation Classic console. Here’s what the deal was – on …

Remember Those Game Reviews I Said I’d Do? Those Are Finally Happening.
Way back in the far off space year of 2016 I wrote an article titled “The Review Plan” where I discussed the basic ideas I had for reviewing media of all types. I outlined my 1 to 5 rating scale and a few thoughts and ideas on how things would go. It seemed straightforward but …

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 …

Hey Microsoft, Why No May Games With Gold Video?
As regular readers know, I like to cover the “Games with Gold” game selection every month by sharing the official video from Microsoft alongside my comments on each game, as presented in the video. If I know more about the game or have an opinion on it outside of Games with Gold, I’ll share that …

Gaming Discussion Can Be Incredibly Frustrating At Times – An Update
It’s been a while since my last post. Damn near a week, in fact. I feel like every moment I get closer to really having a proper article flow here, something comes up which throws a wrench in the works, and of course because I’m transparent as a sheet of glass on what’s going on …
