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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
That’s right, the man himself is fully aware of the fact that I’m working to review every single AVGN episode. There’s a bit of a story behind it that’s at least somewhat worth sharing, so I felt today would be as good a day as any for that — gotta knock out that backlog sooner […]
Here we go: Episode 101 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and the end of Season 5! This time the Nerd is taking a look at a bunch of games based on films by the acclaimed director Steven Spielberg. Of course, since we’re talking about games based on the NES (for the most part) based […]
Well, here we are. Episode 100 of the Angry Video Game Nerd. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d make it this far with these reviews — I figured I’d get maybe 10 or 20 in and then get tired of it. Nope. That’s not the case, and today we’re taking a look back to the (then) […]
It’s time for a bit more of a traditional Nerd episode. This time the Nerd is taking a look at Day Dreamin’ Davey on the NES. This is a bit of an interesting case since, instead the usual suspects like LJN being behind this game in some way, it was developed by HAL laboratories, the […]
It’s time for Christmas in… February? What? Yeah, that’s just how the episode reviews panned out — we’re at another Holiday episode already and it’s mid-February. At least in Season 4 when we had Winter Games it was a bit more generic of an episode. This time around, as the title suggests, we get an […]
Here we have a much more traditional Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This time, James takes a look at an SNES game that I had never heard of up until this point called “Lester the Unlikely.” Picking the game “at random” the Nerd right off the bat doubts the game is going to be good […]
