I’ve been meaning to write in detail about Destiny 2 for a while now – I’ve been playing the game pretty regularly and heavily the past month or so and have been enjoying myself quite a bit. One thing that I noticed but didn’t think about is that at the end of the game, once […]
Coming up on December already huh? Well, at least we know what the final Games with Gold titles for this year will be. That’s something, right? No? Well we’re looking at them anyway because, it’s just what I do around here. On the Xbox One we have Warhammer: Endtimes – Vermintide and Back to the […]
It’s been a while since we’ve last taken a look at the Game Players Game Tape series. In tape number 6 we have games from the publisher Ultra. Now, this is a funny one – the last tape was Konami games, and this one is Ultra games. Thing about that, for the few of you […]
Yippee ki-yay motherfucker! Another frustrating game based on an awesome film si what the Nerd is playing today — in this case Die Hard for the NES.
Today, November 7th, marks the release day for the Xbox One X, a console I’ve been waiting years for. Specification wise, the machine is a powerhouse, to be sure – currently, it’s the “most powerful” game console available, and honestly I want it. That simple. I want to go out and buy one today. Well, […]
Ah, Nintendo. The most darling of gaming companies to most any gamer, especially one born between about 1980 and 1995. Nintendo brought gaming back in the United States after the video game crash, and it never really went away. While I’ve, rather hilariously, had people in the past at places I’ve worked seem surprised to […]
In another much-loved episode, the Nerd does battle with the nightmare that is Silver Surfer on NES.
Since I’m planning to eventually review every single episode of the series (probably a never ending task, as I think about it) I’ve been avoiding covering AVGN episodes on release – as nice as it would be to hit them while they are hot, I feel like I might wind up, down the line, running […]
So, in more gaming news over the past few days, Microsoft announced that they were ending sales of the Kinect accessory and, I can only presume, no more game software will be released that supports, or at least none that will absolutely require, the device. I’d say, about time. While the Kinect in principle isn’t […]
Looks like Microsoft released this list a little later than they normally would, but that’s okay. Here we have the next set of Games with Gold for November, 2017, and honestly, even I’ll admit, this is a pretty pathetic list. Let’s begin: On the Xbox one we have Trackmania Turbo and Tales from the Borderlands. […]
The Nerd takes a look at another Sega Genesis add-on, the 32X.
More gaming news regarding things ending, Lego Dimensions – the youngest of the main 3 “Toy to Life” video games – is no longer going to have any new figure or level releases. This comes after the game being on the market for just over 2 years of what is reported to be a 3 […]
The online shop on the Nintendo Wii is being shut down in an oddly long phase out over 2018 and 2019. For those who don’t know, or have forgotten, the Nintendo Wii shop was a feature of the console where you could buy additional software (Wiiware, as it was known) for the console, as well […]
Reports are popping up left and right on game journalism sites about a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game coming soon – those reports are true because, as some articles hinted at, there is actually a test location machine out in the wild! In this case, by sheer coincidence a social media connection I […]
In this Angry Video Game Nerd video, the Nerd takes a look at the Sega-CD console, an add-on for the Sega Genesis which, as the name suggests, used Compact Disc media for game storage.
Spoiler — it isn’t very good.
