It’s been 5 months since the last Angry Video Game Nerd episode review. 5 months since the last entry in a little pet project that on the surface seems so absurd yet when you think about it makes so much sense, as his “reviews” are really their own cinematic pieces beyond the nature of just […]
This is the point where, from a historical perspective the Angry Video Game Nerd start to really get interesting – the “Double Vision” episodes. For those previous years, the character and the series were generally focused on games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, with some branching out Sega Genesis and Super NES topics with only […]
The Wizard Of Oz episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is one I consider somewhat pivotal at the very least in my personal experience with the series, as this is actually the first episode of AVGN which I saw when it was new. I recall a friend and his brother watching it in early […]
Time to get into Season 3 of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and this particular season starts off rather strong with the Nerd’s review of Nintendo’s first true failure of a gaming system, the Virtual Boy. The Virtual Boy is quite the unique console, seemingly designed for virtual reality, it really never got much further […]
I thought I’d take a bit before we get into Season 3 of Angry Video Game Nerd episodes to express just why I’m reviewing all of these episodes, as well as touch on a few other points on James and the Nerd series that are worth me saying here. The very short answer to the […]
It took over a year to do, but the episode reviews for AVGN Season 2 are complete. I’ve covered all 24 episodes and it’s a strange thing to do – going back over these videos somewhat nostalgically and taking a slightly different look at them, trying to figure out just what makes them work, for […]
We have another odd Nerd episode here – one discussing the timeline for “The Legend of Zelda” game series, at least as it was in 2006. This comes off the previous “Movie and Video Game sequels” video, but was shelved, only to be tweaked a bit and released in January 2008, making it out of […]
Dragons Lair was an amazing game for its day. At least, an impressive one, anyway, for appearances, if not for gameplay. It used a LaserDisc system to play video clips that the player would react to, making decisions to progress in the game. Think “Quick Time Events” in games like God of War, Shenmue, and […]
As promised in the Nintendo Power episode, the next video James did for the Angry Video Game Nerd covered the NES game Fester’s Quest, a rather unique video game adaptation of the classic Addams Family franchise. The entire episode is really a tribute to the Addams Family, with James playing all the members of the […]
Here we go, time to cover one of the more popular episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd! This time around, the Nerd doesn’t take a look at a game – oh no, he takes a look at the one thing that every kid who grew up playing Nintendo wanted other than the next new […]
Normally I would follow the proper order of releases for Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews, but seeing as today is, well, Christmas, I felt it only proper to jump ahead and cover the 2007 Christmas Episodes – An Angry Nerd Christmas Carol. This was a pair of episodes released in December 2007 which follow […]
For Independence day 2007, the Nerd reviews Independence Day for the Sony PlayStation!
Yippee ki-yay motherfucker! Another frustrating game based on an awesome film si what the Nerd is playing today — in this case Die Hard for the NES.
In another much-loved episode, the Nerd does battle with the nightmare that is Silver Surfer on NES.
Since I’m planning to eventually review every single episode of the series (probably a never ending task, as I think about it) I’ve been avoiding covering AVGN episodes on release – as nice as it would be to hit them while they are hot, I feel like I might wind up, down the line, running […]
