A few months ago, Nintendo successfully took down on copyright grounds a fan-made Metroid 2 remake: this led to rumors that Nintendo was working on their own re-release of Metroid 2, and it looks like this is, basically, it: It follows the same general gameplay of classic Metroid, seems to have many elements similar to […]
Don’t get me wrong, I’m quite excited for Destiny 2, but this trailer was somewhat lacking. It shows a bit more of the upcoming story, but we all know this is all footage we will see in the first 10 minutes of the game! Looks like the Cabal are really laying siege to the City, […]
I absolutely loved the original State of Decay when I played it on the Xbox One in late 2015 or so – while it was originally a 360 title, the Xbox One version contained all the expansion content and was a nice, physical collection – convenient, to say the least. It was the first game […]
Right, time to start covering all of the game news. Get ready, we’re in for one hell of a ride, and I thought I would start with some of the most oddly expected yet also seemingly loved and hated news that GameFreak, the actual development studio behind the core Pokemon games, has stated at E3 […]
The major element of E3 is the games. Last year, I only covered a few major games and let the rest come and go as it was. This year, I plan on covering many many more games, over the next week or so – easily probably 20 different games are certainly worth me at least […]
A somewhat minor announcement from Microsoft yesterday that has me quite excited is that later in 2017 games from the original Xbox library will be playable on the Xbox One as an extension of backwards compatibility! The original Xbox had a relatively short life – from late 2001, till 2005 and the release of the […]
Yesterday, during their E3 conference, Microsoft finally have a name, a price, and a release time to their long anticipated “Scorpio” project: Xbox One X. While yes, as always you can make some jokes about the name, the fact remains the console, spec wise, looks absolutely amazing. What we have advertised is: Dolby Atmos Sound, […]
Just because I’m “not excited for E3” doesn’t mean the news presented at the event doesn’t excite me! It certainly does, and had you read that previous article carefully you would have seen the point is the information, not the event itself – the event is archaic, but the news shared isn’t. No, I’m Not […]
Well, somehow, I did it: I reviewed all 15 episodes, plus two “pilot” episodes of what would become Season 1 of “The Angry Video Game Nerd” . I’m sure some of you are thinking “Wow, he’s really scraping for content if he is reviewing the whole season after reviewing the whole season” but this has […]
On June 6th, 2017, Steam closed down its “Greenlight” feature, where game developers could, for a small fee, submit a game for voting in the community to determine if it should be published on Steam or not. While seemingly a good idea to begin with, Greenlight quickly became the doorway for a flood of overall […]
It’s holiday time around the Nerd room, and in this legendary episode the Nerd takes a look at unlicensed Bible-Themed games for the Nintendo Entertainment System!
The yearly Electronics Entertainment Expo, known as “E3” will be taking place from June 13th through the 15th, 2017. As usual, the gaming community, both average gamers and the games media, are getting excited to see what Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, and the dozens of major 3rd party game publishers will be showing off. As the […]
Well, no one said that all of these tapes would be exciting. Tape 4 in volume 1 of the Game Player’s Magazine tips tapes series is all about sports games. Now, to be fair, many of the sports titles on the NES are quite solid games, they play well enough, they are genuinely fun and […]
Back to a game review, we have the newly rebranded Angry Video Game Nerd taking a look at Rocky for the Sega Master System! That’s right, it’s not an NES game this time!
Stumbling across this today it looks like last night one of the YouTubers I like and have featured before, Carey Holzman, got a very odd voicemail from what is obviously an IRS scammer. As a response, he set up a quick (20 minute) live stream to discuss who the scammers might be, why they are […]
