Alright, we’re at the end of the Angry Video Game Nerd Phillips CD-i Trilogy! What a terrible show it’s been so far. I mean, the CD-i and the games presented, not the Nerd, he’s great here! Honestly these are some pretty good “golden age” Nerd episodes, and this one is a great ending to the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
Following up from the end of the previous episode, this time The Nerd takes a look at many accessories produced for the Nintendo Entertainment System during its life. Really, it’s a subject that a book could easily be written on, but here I think James does an okay job demonstrating some of the items available […]
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 […]
It’s been 5 months since the last Angry Video Game Nerd episode review. 5 months since the last entry in a little pet project that on the surface seems so absurd yet when you think about it makes so much sense, as his “reviews” are really their own cinematic pieces beyond the nature of just […]
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 […]
This is the point where, from a historical perspective the Angry Video Game Nerd start to really get interesting – the “Double Vision” episodes. For those previous years, the character and the series were generally focused on games from the Nintendo Entertainment System, with some branching out Sega Genesis and Super NES topics with only […]
The Wizard Of Oz episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is one I consider somewhat pivotal at the very least in my personal experience with the series, as this is actually the first episode of AVGN which I saw when it was new. I recall a friend and his brother watching it in early […]
It took over a year to do, but the episode reviews for AVGN Season 2 are complete. I’ve covered all 24 episodes and it’s a strange thing to do – going back over these videos somewhat nostalgically and taking a slightly different look at them, trying to figure out just what makes them work, for […]
That’s right, we’re doing back to back Nerd episode reviews. In this case, we hit the second half of the Halloween 2007 videos, the other Atari 2600 game James bought in the last episode… Halloween. This game is, debatably, a little better. It’s got it’s own gory elements, much like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but at […]
