Next up in season 6 of The Angry Video Game Nerd we have a much more traditional episode than the previous one — this time an 8 minute look at the NES game “Kid Kool.” Of note is right at the opening we have the “new” Nerd intro for widescreen episodes, where 2 separate panes …

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 98: Day Dreamin’ Davey – Episode Review
It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 97: How the Nerd Stole Christmas – Episode Review
It’s time for Christmas in… February? What? Yeah, that’s just how the episode reviews panned out — we’re at another Holiday episode already and it’s mid-February. At least in Season 4 when we had Winter Games it was a bit more generic of an episode. This time around, as the title suggests, we get an …

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 95: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Revisited – Episode Review

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 91: Cheetahmen – Episode Review
Moving on from the end of the Action 52 review, we meet back with The Nerd as he prepares to play the final game on the cartridge – Cheetahmen. A game that in and of itself is as infamous as Action 52 on a whole, it was supposed to be a major franchise, in the …

Angry Video Game Nerd – Season 4 Review
Ah, Season 4 of The Angry Video Game Nerd. My favorite season by far for a great many reasons. Firstly, it was the first season I began watching as it was new, and thus marks the point where I was “current” with the series. I do believe the Metal Gear review was the first one …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 89: Pong Consoles – Episode Review
Ah, Pong. Not the first video game, but the first one to really become popular. Through the mid 70’s Pong was pretty much it — the genesis of gaming in our cultural consciousness. In the wake of the success of the original arcade hit, a home version was made. Then another, and another, with tons …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 88: Swordquest – Episode Review
The Atari era of gaming was something special. It was a time period where things were kind of wild and companies were throwing pretty much anything out there to see what would take. Atari itself, as a company, was doing wonderfully and the VCS, later renamed the 2600, was dominating the gaming scene. This success …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 85: Street Fighter 2010 – Episode Review
Welcome to the year 2010! Well, at least 2010 for the Nerd! Yep, this was the first episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd for 2010. Still part of Season 4, sure, but the first new episode of a new year and, depending on who you ask, a new decade. The episode opens up by …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 79: Castlevania – Part I – Episode Review
It’s the week of Halloween, my favorite time of the year, and what better way to do the week here on Xadara than by covering not one, not two, not three, but a whole 4 AVGN Halloween episodes in a 4 day marathon! This is partially by coincidence, but just as much by plan — …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 78: Wayne’s World – Episode Review
Wayne’s World is an absolutely classic early 90’s film. While one of many films based on Saturday Night Live skits, it maintains a cult following to this day. Much like seemingly any movie, it was natural, if an odd choice, that video games based on the film would be made and in this episode The …
