It’s funny, for a blog with a moderate focus on gaming I don’t actually write about my own time playing games all that often. That’s quite probably due to the fact that I rarely actually spend that much time actually playing games – sometimes taking breaks spanning multiple months between times when I’ll seriously fire …

Enough talk, let’s get down to the video and the games themselves! Opening up on the Xbox One we have Prison Architect …

Just Why Am I Reviewing Every AVGN Episode?
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 …

Dave From EEVBlog Takes A Look At The Merlin Game From 1978!
Here’s a video that kind of showed up out of nowhere but is too perfect not to share; an EEVBlog video – number 1111 to be precise – which happens to be a quick tear down of the Merlin handheld game from 1978. It’s interesting because of a fact I didn’t know – the core …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 41: Rambo – Episode Review
Time to finish off Season 2 of The Angry Video Game Nerd, and we have quite the review to go out on – Rambo, on the NES! Now, this is a game I actually had for my NES when I was a kid. I have vague memories of playing it and not having a good …

August 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Oh boy, finally getting around to these. Now, I know I normally try to get these out in the last week of the previous month, when they get announced officially by Microsoft, and a few times I’ve been late to getting these articles written. Well, in this case, Microsoft themselves dropped the ball, and didn’t …

Angry Video Game Nerd Episode 37: Dragon’s Lair – Episode Review
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 …

July 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Well, it was a good couple of months, but it looks like Microsoft has gotten back to a less-than-stellar lineup of games for Games with Gold the past few months, and July looks to be no exception – or so it would seem at a glance, at least. Let’s take a look. Starting off on …

E3 Is Not A Contest
I feel myself having to say this point blank every single year. The annual Electronic Entertainment Expo, commonly known as E3, is a trade show. It is not some kind of contest. There are no “winners” or “losers” at the event, it is simply a trade show, just as much as CES is for general …

Destiny 2: Forsaken – E3 Story Reveal Trailer
Might as well cover this one while it’s still somewhat hot – here we have the trailer for the next expansion to Destiny 2, this one titled “Forsaken.” Given the track record for Destiny 2 content in the public eye, I’m not expecting too much from this one. Yeah, I still play Destiny.. sometimes.. when …

The Full Nintendo Direct E3 2018 Presentation
Finishing out the “big 3” presentations for E3 2018, we have the Nintendo Direct stream from earlier today. The big deal for this one is, of course, details on the new Super Smash Bros. game, titled “Super Smash Bros. Ultimate” but Nintendo did cover a solid assortment of new titles, some in greater detail than …

The Full Playstation E3 2018 Presentation
Following up from the rather massive Microsoft / Xbox presentation, here we have the full Sony presentation at E3 2018. Now, I paid zero attention to this presentation. Why? Because I don’t have a Playstation 4, and the gist of what Sony offers doesn’t interest me. That simple. There are some cool games I would …

Fun Factory At Redondo Beach Pier
You don’t see much of arcades anymore. Over the past decade they have all but disappeared in all but the most touristy, high casual traffic areas of the United States. In the video shared below, YouTuber AdamTheWoo takes a look at the “Fun Factory” arcade at Redondo Beach Pier near Los Angeles, California. This looks …

The Xbox E3 2018 Briefing In Under 3 Minutes
Every year I make it a point to only halfway care about E3. The event is generally just a concerted hype show and nothing more at this stage, about as outdated to me as many consider newspapers and the like. That being said, I’m still a gamer, and still have to pay some attention to …

June 2018 Xbox Live Games With Gold
Every year, before E3 Microsoft seems to really get behind on some of their monthly videos – in this case, the “Games with Gold” videos at the end of each month which show you what next months games are going to be. At least, I want to say E3 preparation is the cause of the …
