Day 5 of Shitsmas and we’re back to the NES with Rockey and Bullwinkle. It’s a platformer based loosely on the early 60’s cartoon series of the same name and, of course, it’s terrible. For this one we have the usual gamut of complaints, but this game is just that bit different – it’s somehow […]
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 day 3 of Shitsmas and this time around the Nerd is taking a look at a Sega Genesis game. This one is quite the oddity of note in that it’s a Venezuelan game made in 2004 that, for some reason, was put on a cartridge and is actually available to physically play on actual […]
For the second day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens up a game for the Sega Master System – ALF, based on the 80’s TV show of the same name. This is one of those super frustrating one hit and you’re dead games. Add that in with poor overall design and controls and, well, if you’ve […]
We’re moving right along to the 2014 Holiday season and this time around we have not one, not two, but twelve episodes to cover! Yes, 2014 marked an interesting Cinemassacre spin on the “12 days of Christmas” concept with the “12 days of Shitsmas” – 12 days, 12 quick reviews of 12 often requested games. […]
It was back on Halloween I published the last XVGR article (of all two which have been written so far.) I’ve been wanting to write more but my priorities with the site have been a bit shifted recently, and I’ve just not found good time that I felt like working on one. As things stand […]
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 […]
In part 2 of this holiday wish list themed episode the Nerd spends more time covering an assortment of video games he has been often requested to review — a “wish list” as it were of reviews. We get right to the chase with this one, opening up with “A Boy and his Blob” for […]
It’s Time for the holiday 2013 episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd – a two part set of episodes based on the classic holiday idea of a “wish list.” Yes, in this pair of episodes the Nerd goes over quite a few games that many fans have been wishing he would talk about but, […]
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 […]
I know, I know – it’s the beginning of December, but the Halloween 2013 episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is what’s next in the queue, so it’s what we’re looking at today. The episode opens with a plug for Monster Madness, the annual Cinemassacre Halloween event which would have been underway when this […]
It’s time to scrape the bottom of the barrel. In this episode, the Nerd takes a look at games produced by Tiger Electronics. As is discussed in the episode, any kid who grew up in the late 80’s or early 90’s will certainly remember these things and just how terrible they were! Before the episode […]
