Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 71: Terminator 2: Judgment Day – Episode Review
Naturally, you can’t have a review of games based on the film The Terminator without covering games made based on its sequel – “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”, and James wasted no time after the previous episode releasing this one to cover games based in the amazing 1992 sequel to the 1984 classic. The episode opens …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 70: The Terminator – Episode Review
The Terminator franchise, at least, at the time of the early 90’s, was pretty amazing. With “The Terminator” in 1984 and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in 1992, the struggle for humanities survival from an apocalypse of its own creation was well established in popular consciousness and with the rise in popularity of game consoles, it …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 68: Odyssey – Episode Review
The entire concept of the Nerd can be summed up in the first lines of the AVGN theme song — “He’s gonna bring you back to the past.” Well, you can only go so far with the realm of gaming and in this episode James goes back about as far as you can, to 1972 …

Updating AVGN Episode Reviews, And More – An Update
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 65: Atari Jaguar Part I – Episode Review
It’s time to begin taking a look at what I consider the best season of The Angry Video Game Nerd (Season 4) and what a better way to start off than a history episode! No, I’m not being sarcastic, I actually rather like the episodes where the Nerd talks about the back story of some …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 64: Milon’s Secret Castle – Episode Review
We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 63: Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker – Episode Review
Time for another Angry Video Game Nerd episode review, and this time we have The Nerd’s review of Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis!

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 61: CD-i Part III – Zelda’s Adventure – Episode Review
Alright, we’re at the end of the Angry Video Game Nerd Phillips CD-i Trilogy! What a terrible show it’s been so far. I mean, the CD-i and the games presented, not the Nerd, he’s great here! Honestly these are some pretty good “golden age” Nerd episodes, and this one is a great ending to the …

Here we go, it’s finally time for the Zelda CD-i games. Oh man, I can only imagine how hyped the fans of the Angry Video Game Nerd were to see these episodes. The video clips from the games were legendary in the early days of YouTube (being often used in many comedy video edits) and …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 59: CD-i Part I – Hotel Mario – Episode Review
It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games. Namely, the ones featuring Nintendo properties. For a very, very brief back story, the CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) hardware was the end result of Phillips …

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 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 …

Moving on immediately from the last episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, we have James, dressed as Batman and playing various Batman video games, being held captive by Mike Matei, playing the Joke, forcing the Nerd to play more Batman games, these having more of a focus on the Joker himself rather than more …
