In part 2 of this holiday wish list themed episode the Nerd spends more time covering an assortment of video games he has been often requested to review — a “wish list” as it were of reviews. We get right to the chase with this one, opening up with “A Boy and his Blob” for […]
It’s Time for the holiday 2013 episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd – a two part set of episodes based on the classic holiday idea of a “wish list.” Yes, in this pair of episodes the Nerd goes over quite a few games that many fans have been wishing he would talk about but, […]
It’s time for what has to be one of the most “meta” episodes of the series, as this time the Nerd takes a look at games based on himself! Yep, Angry Video Game Nerd games are the subject of episode 115. This was done primarily as a promotional effort for the then new (and recently […]
I know, I know – it’s the beginning of December, but the Halloween 2013 episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is what’s next in the queue, so it’s what we’re looking at today. The episode opens with a plug for Monster Madness, the annual Cinemassacre Halloween event which would have been underway when this […]
It’s time to scrape the bottom of the barrel. In this episode, the Nerd takes a look at games produced by Tiger Electronics. As is discussed in the episode, any kid who grew up in the late 80’s or early 90’s will certainly remember these things and just how terrible they were! Before the episode […]
December is almost upon us, which not only means we’re almost done with the year but we have one more set of games coming with Xbox Live Gold. The peanut gallery has weighed in with some strong dislikes on this video, but what do I have to say about the selection? Let’s find out. The […]
Here we have a far more normal AVGN episode – in this case, a look at the NES game Bill & Ted’s Excellent adventure. Amazingly, this episode is so straightforward there honestly isn’t too much to say about it. James of course addresses that it is based on the quite popular film but, like most […]
Here we have what has to be one of the weirdest Angry Video Game Nerd episodes, which is saying a lot given the history of this series. In this episode James takes a look at a variety of games based on the Toxic Avenger character or, more critically, the Toxic Crusaders cartoon based on the […]
Here we have what is, by far, my favorite episode of the entire series: Ikari Warriors! This is apparently a game James has had a problem with since he was a kid, and this is his chance to finally tear into it. He wastes no time either – beyond a few side comments early on […]
On November 22nd, 2005, the Xbox 360 launched to quite the celebration, both in the gaming scene and in the Mojave desert via an event known as “Zero Hour.” If you had told me then that 15 years later I’d be writing this article about the event, I’d have probably thought you were crazy. I […]
The PlayStation 5 is big. Very big. Beyond it’s early 2000’s internet gateway look (seriously, it does look like an unused piece of networking kit that’s sitting in my closet right now) the overall size of the machine is pretty massive, especially when you compare it to the predecessor, the PlayStation 4. It also looks […]
If you’re a gamer you’ve no doubt heard that soon after the launch of the new Xbox Consoles, the Series X and the Series S, problems were reported primarily with the optical drive of the Series X but also, in at least one case I saw on twitter, the fan of the Series S. Naturally, […]
Time to do the most stereotypical review one can on Halloween – a “spooky” video game and one that, while it’s been done to death, is still a game which I enjoy the occasional play of: Haunted House for the Atari 2600. The premise is a simple one – you are venturing into a long […]
You know the score – another month on the horizon means another video from Microsoft advertising the 4 upcoming free games with an Xbox Live Gold membership. It’s never ending, but in a good way. Interestingly, this video mentions the Xbox Series S and Series X, so that’s cool – we’re acknowledging the soon to […]
Here we have another one of those more odd episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd where instead of focusing on one particular game, he spends time discussing a whole category of games which follow a similar theme – in this case, sports games on the Atari 2600! While certainly not mine, or the Nerds […]
