It’s time for the Phillips CD-i episodes of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Not one, not two, but three episodes were devoted to this console and some of its games. Namely, the ones featuring Nintendo properties. For a very, very brief back story, the CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive) hardware was the end result of Phillips […]
Moving directly on from the previous episode on Dracula games, we have James covering games based on the Frankenstein story, with a nice little twist thrown in for his classic Halloween theatrics. James is playing the Nerd as Dr. Frankenstein (or, well, Dr. Franken-Nerd, I guess, to be accurate to the story) who creates a […]
Is it Halloween already? No, not really. Not at all — it’s still June right now, but this is where we are in the Angry Video Game Nerd series and as such today we’ll be looking at an episode focusing on games based on the Dracula story. The Nerd isn’t doing the most obvious ones […]
Ah Dick Tracey. That name takes me back to the early 90’s quite well. As this episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd explains in its opening, Dick Tracey was a major motion picture release in 1990, based off of a somewhat obscure comic strip from the 30’s. While there had been other media based […]
Moving on from the relative disaster that is the Deadly Towers review, we get to an Angry Video Game Nerd episode that’s much better – Battletoads. Battletoads, developed by Rare (the same people who would later create titles like Donkey Kong Country and Goldeneye 007) released this rather well loved game in 1991. It blended […]
Last Tuesday my Stranger Things Coke order, which included 2 cans of the infamous 1985 “New Coke” formula, came in . This is something I’ve been wanting to try for much of my life, but especially over the past few years have been thinking Coke as a company should bring back in some capacity and, […]
Way back in the far off space year of 2016 I wrote an article titled “The Review Plan” where I discussed the basic ideas I had for reviewing media of all types. I outlined my 1 to 5 rating scale and a few thoughts and ideas on how things would go. It seemed straightforward but […]
Here we have a bit of a unique AVGN episode. The game being focused on is a well enough known “bad” game for the system, called “Deadly Towers.” This time, however, the video script was a chance for the fans to participate in the production of an episode! The way it worked was this: As […]
I’ve only been wanting to try it for most of my life. Time to explain. We all know the story. Coca-Cola was losing market share in soft drinks to Pepsi. The legendary, nearly century old Coke Formula seemed “stale” to the American populace. Something needed to done, and the answer was to change things. A […]
I know what you’re expecting — you came here wanting to read what I have to say about the trailer, as a Sonic The Hedgehog fan. You want me to watch it and get mad at what they’ve done; you want me to flip out over every little detail that’s wrong or odd or otherwise […]
Moving on immediately from the last episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd, we have James, dressed as Batman and playing various Batman video games, being held captive by Mike Matei, playing the Joke, forcing the Nerd to play more Batman games, these having more of a focus on the Joker himself rather than more […]
Moving right into more DC territory after Superman, we have not one but two episodes devoted to Batman games! This set of games is a bit more promising than the previous Superman games we looked at, and in this set of videos James goes all out in more classic, themed Angry Video Game Nerd style, […]
Here’s an episode that, at the time, fans of The Angry Video Game Nerd were begging for – Superman on the Nintendo 64. However, since fans like to call it “Superman 64” James takes this opportunity for a joke he can’t even keep a straight face through – he opens by covering a Superman game […]
Oh, look, we’ve finally made it up to episode 50. Damn, that took longer than it should have. For perspective, we’re up to the Summer of 2008 in AVGN history. At this time the show was a major hit, and showed no signs of slowing down. In fact, production at this stage began to ramp […]
Ah, Indiana Jones. A rather well loved film series from the same man who brought us Star Wars… and a film series which seems to have gotten the same treatment as Star Wars all those years later. This Angry Video Game Nerd episode focuses on games from the Indiana Jones trilogy and was released originally […]
