It goes without saying that 2020 proved to be one hell of a year. While for me it actually wasn’t all that bad, beyond a major spot in the early portion of Spring, it was still a rough one between work, personal life, and my online existence. Still, it was also a year of growth […]
It’s the 12th and final day of Shitsmas and, as hinted at in the previous video the final gift the Nerd opens is a product by LJN. This time it isn’t just a game, but an entire game system! Well, not quite — it’s more of an early computer graphics device. Of course, it’s bad. […]
It’s the 11th day of Shitsmas. We’re almost done with game after horrible game, but not before we hit the final two, and today we have a pretty big one to contend with – Universal Studios Theme Parks Adventure for the GameCube. Now, this seems like an awesome idea — a video game where you […]
For the 10th day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens not just a single game, but an entire freaking game system! Yep, for this one he gets a bit more than he hoped for with the Hyperscan game console released in 2006. Yes, James was already well into the AVGN series when this console was released […]
We’re at the 9th day of Shitsmas, and for this wonderful day the Nerd opens up an Atari 2600 game – Porky’s, based loosely on the 1981 film of the same name. This is actually one of the longer Shitsmas episodes and, quite honestly, is a complete review and really feels like a proper AVGN […]
New month, new year, new set of games with the Games with Gold program. Of course I’ve got take a look at them and give my take on the offerings, for what it’s worth – that’s been a damn near 5 year tradition now and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon! That said, let’s […]
It’s the 8th day of Shitsmas, and today we have another movie based game. Incidentally, however, this game is not published by LJN – no, Ocean took the reigns of this one and did a perfectly average job. The game in question is Lethal Weapon on the NES. Yeah, after introducing what the Lethal Weapon […]
Time now for a bit of unscheduled comedy. I got an alert that the program which manages my graphics card had an update. I, naturally, began to install this update and was surprised at how slowly it was actually downloading – at something more akin to 56K dial up than any proper form of broadband. […]
Welcome to the 7th day of Shitsmas, and for today’s present the Nerd is greeted with the PlayStation game V.I.P, based on the TV show of the same name starring the actress Pamela Anderson. James wasted no time in opening up with something that anyone in my age range already knows — this woman’s name […]
It’s day 6 of Shitsmas – that’s right, we’re halfway through this insanity, and here we are looking at a rarity for the Nerd – A GameBoy Color game! In this case, a game based on the Olsen twins and a then-current TV show they were the stars of. This has to be awesome right? […]
Day 5 of Shitsmas and we’re back to the NES with Rockey and Bullwinkle. It’s a platformer based loosely on the early 60’s cartoon series of the same name and, of course, it’s terrible. For this one we have the usual gamut of complaints, but this game is just that bit different – it’s somehow […]
For the 4th day of Shitsmas we get Ren & Stimpy: Fire Dogs for the SNES. We get a small take from the Nerd on the cartoon the game is based on, followed by a very quick look at the other games in this small series before the main subject, based on a Ren & […]
It’s day 3 of Shitsmas and this time around the Nerd is taking a look at a Sega Genesis game. This one is quite the oddity of note in that it’s a Venezuelan game made in 2004 that, for some reason, was put on a cartridge and is actually available to physically play on actual […]
For the second day of Shitsmas the Nerd opens up a game for the Sega Master System – ALF, based on the 80’s TV show of the same name. This is one of those super frustrating one hit and you’re dead games. Add that in with poor overall design and controls and, well, if you’ve […]
We’re moving right along to the 2014 Holiday season and this time around we have not one, not two, but twelve episodes to cover! Yes, 2014 marked an interesting Cinemassacre spin on the “12 days of Christmas” concept with the “12 days of Shitsmas” – 12 days, 12 quick reviews of 12 often requested games. […]
