In today’s episode of “The Jimquisition”, Jim Sterling finally told the story about Digital Homicide suing him over his covering of their video games on the Steam software distribution service. I covered Jim Sterling and Digital Homicide before, sharing a few videos on the subject – if you haven’t seen those articles, they are worth […]
Always best to start at the beginning, and here we have the beginning of what would become the much loved Angry Video Game Nerd series, with James Rolfe’s rant about Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, on NES.
You know the drill, a new month, a new set of 4 games, 2 for the Xbox one, and 2 for the Xbox 360, free with your Xbox Live Gold subscription. They may not always be the best games, but they don’t cost you anything extra beyond the price of the service (hence the use […]
So, in my drive to constantly provide my opinion (for what it’s worth) on everything I like (or don’t like, in some cases) I’ve had the crazy idea to review every single Angry Video Game Nerd episode. That’s right, every single one. Why? Well, why not? Why not detail the evolution of the show, and […]
Ah, Pokemon Go – the game that took over last summer and then, oddly enough, quickly faded away. At the time, I was on a Windows Phone device, so I didn’t get the chance to experience it. Recently, I had to get a new phone and decided to give Android another try. This allowed me […]
Here we go again! Popping up today was a rumor that Nintendo is ending production on the NES Classic Edition in the upcoming months. Now, back in early January or so, I had said that the NES Classic was a holiday only item, information that was given to me by a reliable source – this […]
I’m somewhat of a purist when it comes to classic gaming. In particular, when you get to older, pre-HDMI game consoles like the Super Nintendo, the Sega Genesis, or even the Playstation 2 and Wii, I connect those consoles only to an old CRT TV. You know, the big heavy TV’s most everyone above the […]
Back on the subject of everyone’s favourite video game store, GameStop, and their insane Circle of Life program, Rich of Review Tech USA put up a video the other day where he shares a few stories from current and former GameStop employess (at least, self reputed employees but there is no reason not to trust […]
Well, we all knew this was an inevitbility – A little while ago the NES Classic Edition got hacked, apparently, and the group behind such was able to add in around 60 games, or so I understand. Well, this past week that number grew to, oh, about 700. This basically covers the entire NES library, […]
In this 1995 episode of The Computer Chronicles, Stuart Cheifet takes a look at the cutting-edge in gaming entertainment in the mid 90’s. This was quite an interesting time for home gaming, as 3D graphics rendering was reaching a point where decent quality images could be generated in real time. Windows 95 brought DirectX technology, […]
A big piece of gaming news this week that I just had to put my say into is the leak by GameStop employees of the details of a policy called “Circle of Life”, which basically is a quota set that each store, and its employees, must reach each month. These quotas are in all but […]
I was super late on my post about the NES Classic yesterday – I should have written it earlier in the week when I first got wind, but I got tied up in things. In any case, yes, the NES Classic Edition is back on store shelves, or at least, it is until the stores […]
UPDATE: apparently YES, the item has been on the shelves today, as of the day of me writing this. Talk about being late to post! https://www.xadara.com/the-nes-classic-edition-is-back-in-stores-and-its-still-rare Among the more interesting gaming rumors that have crossed my radar the past few weeks is one saying that the NES Classic Edition is going to make its way […]
Feburary, the shortest month of the year. Still, more games are coming to you free with a Gold subscription on Xbox Live (and seriously, what adult Xbox gamer doesn’t have an active live subscription?) This months list doesn’t look the best, but we’ll go over each game one by one and see how they stack […]
Ah, the 90’s. 1990, in this case. The Nintendo Entertainment System was still the champ, but the Sega Genesis was nipping at its heels. These were the days I started my love of gaming in, and it’s fascinating to watch videos like this from that time period that show when these consoles were new and […]
