The other night, after publishing my review of episode 67, I finally began the task of adding images to my previous episode reviews. I wanted to “liven up” the reviews since I had never put in episode images before — I thought it wouldn’t be necessary, and I didn’t want to waste space in the […]
Ah, Metal Gear. Quite the well loved series these days, it had a rocky start in the West, not really gaining popularity until the PlayStation and Metal Gear: Solid, in 1998. Metal Gear has quite the interesting history, having started in the MSX computer platform in Japan. The NES “port” of the original game (if […]
You know, I never expected the Angry Video Game Nerd episode reviews to get as far as they did — I’m in Season 4 and am incredibly optimistic on where this is going, as it’s gone from being just a fun little side project to something to really enjoy! In retrospect, however, I didn’t plan […]
Moving right along from where the previous episode left off, we find the Nerd playing a selection of Atari Jaguar games. This gives us a good look at what the system had to offer over the course of its life. The Nerd begins by taking a look at what are probably the best games for […]
It’s time to begin taking a look at what I consider the best season of The Angry Video Game Nerd (Season 4) and what a better way to start off than a history episode! No, I’m not being sarcastic, I actually rather like the episodes where the Nerd talks about the back story of some […]
We’re at the final episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd Season 3 and to finish things off we’re looking at… Milon’s Secret Castle. Really? Milon’s Secret Castle? This is a strange one and a game that I would think, up until this episode was made back in 2009, not many people had even heard […]
Time for another Angry Video Game Nerd episode review, and this time we have The Nerd’s review of Moonwalker for the Sega Genesis! This episode was filmed just a few months before Michael Jackson’s death and as such speaks of him in the present-tense when opening the video, contrasting how many forget that a man […]
It’s Christmas in July! Okay, not really, this is just how the scheduling (if you can call it that) for these episode reviews worked out, so today we’re taking a look at the second “Bible Games” Angry Video Game Nerd episode. This one is a bit of an interesting one — it was the first […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Finally back to the chaos that is my attempt to review every Angry Video Game Nerd episode, we hit the amazing Super Mario Bros. 3 episode! Yep, just as the Nerd himself says in the opening, he’s reviewing a good game. One of the best, if you ask me. It’s a bit of an interesting […]
Moving on from the explosive end of the previous episode, we have part 2 of Double Vision. Just as part 1 covered the Intellivision, part 2 covers the Colecovision, a mighty system in its own right. Released in 1982, the Colecovision came a few years after the Intellivision, and well into the life of the […]
