Angry Video Game Nerd – Season 5 Review
Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd was a bit of a departure from the previous few years of the show. This season had far fewer episodes than previous ones, as James began to focus his efforts on other projects including the beginning of production in earnest of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The …

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 92: Game Glitches – Episode Review
Moving on from the nightmare that is Action 52 the Angry Video Game Nerd takes a bit of a twist, in this episode covering “game glitches” in all their various forms. We start off with an intentionally glitched version of the opening. Once that crashes (literally) we get to the Nerd just trying to enjoy …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 90: Action 52 – Episode Review
Time to start on Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and what a game James chose to look at for this episode — Action 52 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is legendary among gamers for the same reason many games James has covered in the series are: it’s terrible. The difference …

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 87: Ninja Gaiden – Episode Review
This time we have another big production from the Nerd, this time on a very well known game that happens to be one I personally had as a kid (I actually still have my original copy) and have strong memories with — Ninja Gaiden for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Episode starts off, incidentally enough, …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 84: Winter Games – Episode Review
Here we have the “Holiday” episode for 2009. Recall that Castlevaniathon went into November, meaning December 2009 had the previous episode, Little Red Hood, and this episode, Winter Games. Yeah, no Bible games this time around, just some frosty Winter gaming enjoyment. Okay more like frozen Winter crap. What we have here is a game …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 83: Little Red Hood – Episode Review
James reviews the unlicensed NES game Little Red Hood, highlighting its bizarre cartridge design, random gameplay mechanics, ugly graphics, and frustrating difficulty, resulting in high Nerd rage.
Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 82: Castlevania – Part IV – Episode Review
And here we are, Halloween day, and part four of “Castlevaniathon!” What a perfect day to finish this series on! Things pick up right where they left off — with James blowing his character up in Castlevania 64, disappointed with what the game was. As James would put it, he was looking in the wrong …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 77: Godzilla – Episode Review
If you were to ask anyone about Japanese monster movies, the firs thing that would probably come to their mind is the Godzilla franchise. As one might expect, James Rolfe is a Godzilla fan, and has been since his youth when he would on occasion see Godzilla films on TV. Later in life, he would …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 75: Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle – Episode Review
Has it really been 75 episodes already? Man, I’ve been getting these reviews out at a pretty good pace! Anyway, this time we take a look at an Angry Video Game Nerd episode which had quite a bit of hype and promotion around it back in 2009 – Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle! Where the past …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 74: Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties – Episode Review
Ah, here we have one of the best episodes of “The Angry Video Game Nerd;” Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. The game in question is, as I can best class it, a “storytelling” game for the short lived 3DO platform, an early CD-ROM based 32-bit system, with all the quirks and nuances you would expect of …

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. Oh how I remember these games. It was fitting by this time in the series James would cover these atrocities to the …
