For the 4th day of Shitsmas we get Ren & Stimpy: Fire Dogs for the SNES. We get a small take from the Nerd on the cartoon the game is based on, followed by a very quick look at the other games in this small series before the main subject, based on a Ren & […]
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 […]
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 […]
In the third part of the “Castlevaniathon,” James reviews Super Castlevania IV on SNES and Castlevania on the Nintendo 64. He loves the former for its control and graphics but criticizes the latter’s awkward gameplay and camera issues.
The Terminator franchise, at least, at the time of the early 90’s, was pretty amazing. With “The Terminator” in 1984 and “Terminator 2: Judgement Day” in 1992, the struggle for humanities survival from an apocalypse of its own creation was well established in popular consciousness and with the rise in popularity of game consoles, it […]
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, […]
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’s time for the 2007 Christmas Episodes – An Angry Nerd Christmas Carol! This was a pair of episodes released in December 2007 which follow the classic holiday story of “A Christmas Carol” but with the Nerd replacing Scrooge. Christmas is still key, of course, but the idea here is how it relates to the […]
Today was quite the interesting one in the gaming community, and was something I actually wasn’t aware of till just a few weeks ago: Free Video Game Day. It functions much like Free Comic Book Day does for, well, the comic book community. The different is FCBD is sponsored by the comic book industry, directly […]
Here we go, time to cover one of the more popular episodes of The Angry Video Game Nerd! This time around, the Nerd doesn’t take a look at a game – oh no, he takes a look at the one thing that every kid who grew up playing Nintendo wanted other than the next new […]
As the title suggest, I’ve had the SNES Classic Edition for about 2 weeks. That’s been enough time, along with my work schedule and Xadara stuff, to manage to complete everything on Super Mario World and to play all the way through Earthbound. Sure, I’ve touched on a few things – unlocked Star Fox 2 […]
In another peculiar bit of SNES Classic Edition news, apparently pre-orders are getting cancelled again. This time, however, these are legitimate pre-orders and not the obviously premature ones that Walmart had opened up a few months ago. Originally I was made aware of the fact that pre-orders from Hawaii were getting cancelled at oddly high […]
Last week, people were all hyped up over the fact that, apparently, Walmart had the SNES Classic Edition available for preorder – yeah, hop on the site, pay for it, and ya got it, right? Right? Nope! Yesterday, and continuing today, they have canceled seemingly every single pre-order for the console. People are acting surprised […]
When both the NES Classic Edition and now the SNES Classic Edition were announced, a common comment from many in the gaming scene were that these mini-consoles were pointless, or some kind of similar lack of understanding why people are fascinated by them. This stems from a misconception of the very target demographic these machines […]
We might as well take a look at the game list for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System Classic console that’s being released this September; after all, a game system is defined by its games, and the Super Nintendo had an amazing library, to say the least. I won’t beat around the bush with this – […]
