Last night on the PlayStation blog Sony showed off an image of the controller for the PlayStation 5, properly identifying it as the “DualSense” Controller. What they showed isn’t a radical departure from the PlayStation 4 controller, but certainly still is different from the controller design PlayStation gamers have been used to for the past […]
It’s time again to take a look at the upcoming months Games with Gold lineup, but things are a bit different this time around. Thanks to the current Coronavirus issue, there appears to be no video for the April games with Gold assortment. Yep, no video to accompany things, just an image from the Xbox […]
Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd was a bit of a departure from the previous few years of the show. This season had far fewer episodes than previous ones, as James began to focus his efforts on other projects including the beginning of production in earnest of The Angry Video Game Nerd: The […]
The vilification of gaming in the media is never ending, and even now, during the Coronavirus Pandemic and the often mandatory quarantines being enacted around the world, news outlets out there are still trying to find ways to attack gamers and their hobby as the source of some kind of problem — in this case, […]
In the last entry I wrapped up the testing of the system following its modding and found everything was in good shape – the project was, as far as I’m concerned, a complete success, and I had a European PlayStation 3 with a US power supply, modded to be able to play any game I’d […]
This is one of those Angry Video Game Nerd episodes that was seemingly destined to happen. Being the big fan of Star Wars that James Rolfe is, it seemed inevitable that he would spend some time on the multitude of Star Wars video games which have been released over the years, especially in the early […]
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 […]
In the last entry in this series I discussed how we determined that the European PlayStation 3 I had come into possession of actually did work — at least, it had no critical issues. Being a system made for the European market its power supply was a 220-240 volt only model — not a “universal” […]
Apparently there’s been a bit of drama surrounding the term “Metroidvania” recently. This has come mainly in the form of gaming journalism (you know, the hotbed of genius that is) saying that the term isn’t “accessible” to outsiders. or other crap related to how specific of a term it is in structure. I only even […]
Time for the annoyance that is the shortest month of the year, February. Well, at least this this time around it’s a leap year, which means 29 days as opposed to 28, which means one extra day to make sure you get the later games in this months Games With Gold offerings. This time around, […]
Cloud Gaming (or, Game Streaming as some will call it) is marketed as a solution to commonly perceived shortcomings of both PC based and console based gaming — namely large install sizes and long download times for the games themselves and / or their updates, on top of the cost of the hardware in and […]
Time to start on Season 5 of the Angry Video Game Nerd, and what a game James chose to look at for this episode — Action 52 for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This game is legendary among gamers for the same reason many games James has covered in the series are: it’s terrible. The difference […]
I really didn’t want to end today without having written something. I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak recently with posts here, but today work really demanded my all and since I’ve gotten home I’ve felt like nothing but trying to relax. Still, I want to keep the momentum of this hot streak […]
I know, I’m late to this one. I’ve been busy but didn’t want to let this one go by without saying my peace on the subject. A week and a half ago Mike Matei (of Cinemassacre fame) posted a tweet which became a pretty “hot take” for a while regarding the use of “rewind” features […]
This rumor has been circulation for quite a few months now, but it really got into gear this past weekend when an article was published on comicbook.com (yes, a comic book website… what they are doing covering games is beyond me) saying that, based on speculation from some guy called “HipHopGamer” (someone I’ve never heard […]
