Here we have the “Holiday” episode for 2009. Recall that Castlevaniathon went into November, meaning December 2009 had the previous episode, Little Red Hood, and this episode, Winter Games. Yeah, no Bible games this time around, just some frosty Winter gaming enjoyment. Okay more like frozen Winter crap. What we have here is a game […]
And here we are, Halloween day, and part four of “Castlevaniathon!” What a perfect day to finish this series on! Things pick up right where they left off — with James blowing his character up in Castlevania 64, disappointed with what the game was. As James would put it, he was looking in the wrong […]
In the third part of the “Castlevaniathon,” James reviews Super Castlevania IV on SNES and Castlevania on the Nintendo 64. He loves the former for its control and graphics but criticizes the latter’s awkward gameplay and camera issues.
The Nerd revisits Castlevania II, noting its flaws and achievements, and tackles Castlevania III’s challenges, ending the Castlevania NES series.
It’s the week of Halloween, my favorite time of the year, and what better way to do the week here on Xadara than by covering not one, not two, not three, but a whole 4 AVGN Halloween episodes in a 4 day marathon! This is partially by coincidence, but just as much by plan — […]
Wayne’s World is an absolutely classic early 90’s film. While one of many films based on Saturday Night Live skits, it maintains a cult following to this day. Much like seemingly any movie, it was natural, if an odd choice, that video games based on the film would be made and in this episode The […]
If you were to ask anyone about Japanese monster movies, the firs thing that would probably come to their mind is the Godzilla franchise. As one might expect, James Rolfe is a Godzilla fan, and has been since his youth when he would on occasion see Godzilla films on TV. Later in life, he would […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Meet Luanne Platter, the niece of Peggy Hill and, thanks to her mother and father getting into a very nasty fight, a resident of the Hill house. Quite the annoying resident as far as Hank is concerned — […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Hank Hill loves a few things. His family, his truck, his lawnmower, his lawn, and his Guitar, Betsey, among many other things. As you can imagine, his frustration when he finds Bobby playing the instrument recklessly (with cheese, […]
After the insanity that was the Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle episode, it’s only fitting we go back to a more traditional Nerd episode, and for this one we take a look at Super Pitfall for the NES! The episode begins with an incredibly brief overview on the character Pitfall Harry — the guy you’re playing […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. It’s time for some father-son bonding in King of the Hill, and what better way to establish this than through the time honored tradition of scouting. In this case, we have Hank and Dale planning to take Bobby’s […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. Meet Peggy Hill. Mother of Bobby Hill, wife of Hank Hill, and Substitute Teacher of the year 1996. She’s, in a stereotypical sense, the glue which keeps the Hill family together, and this episode, “Square Peg,” focuses on […]
Has it really been 75 episodes already? Man, I’ve been getting these reviews out at a pretty good pace! Anyway, this time we take a look at an Angry Video Game Nerd episode which had quite a bit of hype and promotion around it back in 2009 – Bugs Bunny’s Crazy Castle! Where the past […]
NOTE: This is the “old” version of this review. It has been replaced by a new version. It’s time to begin taking a look at the wonderful television series that was King of the Hill, and of course we will start at the beginning – Season 1, Episode 1, known only as “Pilot.” The episode […]
Ah, here we have one of the best episodes of “The Angry Video Game Nerd;” Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. The game in question is, as I can best class it, a “storytelling” game for the short lived 3DO platform, an early CD-ROM based 32-bit system, with all the quirks and nuances you would expect of […]
