Fashionably late to the party, here’s the September 2021 Games with Gold lineup. Is it good? Is it bad? Well, that’s what we’re here to take a look at. We open up with Warhammer: Chaosbane and Mulaka. Another Warhammer game? Mkay, this one is another rogue-like (or “Diablo Clone, if you prefer) and while I […]
We’re long overdue for taking a look at a Nerd episode. Way too long overdue — Cinemassacre is back to pretty regular AVGN episodes, along with other content and it’s about time I do the same. Picking up where we left off we have Episode 135: Darkwing Duck for the TurboGrafx-16 (pronounced “Turbo Graphics Sixteen” […]
It’s bloody hot. Too hot to go out and do anything, so why not stay inside and game? Okay, that was an introduction to this entry, but seriously, it is hot out there – August is here and with the new month are new Games with Gold and, amazingly, I’m actually getting to covering them […]
Damnit, I was late on this one again. I’ve been busy, though, and let time kind of run away with me. Well, at least I’m getting to them before the middle of the month. Right, let’s get down to it: We open up with Planet Alpha and rock of Ages 3: Make & Break for […]
Today, June 23rd 2021, marks 30 years since the release of Sonic The Hedgehog on the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive for the rest of the world.) Quite a different beast in gaming compared to other platform titles like the Super Mario Bros. series, Sonic the Hedgehog was, first and foremost, based around speed. In fact, […]
Moving swiftly along to the June games with Gold lineup we actually have a post which is on time and not halfway through the month? Amazing! You know what else is amazing? Not this game lineup! Okay, no, I’d never call a GWG lineup “amazing” and if I have in the past please let me […]
Man, I’m glad I got to this one on time. Yep, I’m super happy I didn’t have to write this a month late and change the publish date so it doesn’t look like I completely forgot. Nope, that’s not what happened at all 😉 Yeah, I know, this one’s completely pointless now but I have […]
Damnit, I did it again — I got busy and put off covering this months Games With Gold lineup until the middle of the freaking month! I’ve got to stop doing that but, again, better late than never I guess, right? Let’s get into it. Starting off on the Modern lineup we have Vikings: Wolves […]
While I was at work today the phone rang, as it regularly does. After all, I work in a video game sales and repair store — people are always calling wondering what we have, how much a service costs, or just wanting some advice on something. It’s a fun job, for the most part, and […]
It’s been a while since we looked at an AVGN episode, so why not jump back into the craziness with the next episode, Hong Kong 97?! This is one of those fan request type episodes, but a good one given Hong Kong 97 was, at the time at least, one of the more mysterious games […]
Ha! I’m not going to be late for this months Games with Gold overview! Oh no, this one’s coming out on the first, and it looks like another interesting enough month of games that I’ll likely consider playing but never get around to enjoying, because I never play anything anymore yet I still insist on […]
Wow, could I be any later with this entry? Seriously, this is two weeks overdue, but I’d rather cover it now than just skip it completely! In a funny case I originally delayed this due to Microsoft announcing the games lineup earlier than I expected, but not having a video released until right near the […]
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 […]
