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. […]
It’s time for the Halloween AVGN episode for 2014 (yes, this was a relatively short year for episodes) and this time the Nerd is taking a look at Beetlejuice for the NES. Yep, it’s another LJN game, based on a very good 80’s film, so you know the game is going to be bad. Incidentally, […]
Here we have it – the most requested game for the nerd to Nerd review — the one everyone wanted, covering what has for many years been called the worst game ever – E.T. for the Atari 2600. This also is certainly the most unique episode as it’s not actually a real episode – it’s […]
This is a bit of a special AVGN episode. It was released 10 years after James had originally recorded the original “Bad Video Games” video on Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, and acted as a bit of an anniversary video on that front. It also was the last episode before the AVGN Movie, and equally acted […]
I’m in the process of copying nearly 400 gigabytes of data to an external hard drive for archival purposes – some of it certainly will be deleted, if not most of it, with the remainder organized and stored away where it needs to be. The bulk of this is all data from previous projects which […]
Here we have a bit of an odd one in AVGN history, as it wouldn’t be a game you’d expect yet it’s the perfect candidate for the Nerd’s review style: Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. This is a rather infamous PC title from as recently as 2003 (just a little over 10 years before […]
