- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeKevin FinnNinja Gaiden is one of the Nerd's favorite games, but its extreme difficulty has prevented him from beating it. This game is so hard, you'd have to be a ninja to beat it. The Nerd seeks one out, who trains him in the art of overcoming difficulty and sharpens his skills. However, this game might prove to be more than a match for the wise old master.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeAfter a 6 month hiatus, the Nerd is back. And to honor his return to reviewing bad and challenging games, he decides to review some Schwarzenegger games for the NES. Mainly due to Schwarzenegger returning to acting after finishing his term as Governer. When it comes to Arnold, his action films are always appealing to watch. As for video game adaptations it's the complete opposite. They either don't feature the main character to resemble Arnold or the game-play and level layouts are a complete mess. The Nerd saved all of the criticism for the Predator game for the NES. Mainly due to the pink camos for the jungle levels, Predators being too easy to kill, and weird enemies that don't belong in the Predator universe.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeKyle RogersFor his first Christmas review, the Nerd decides to review a few unlicensed Bible games for the NES and Super Nintendo. The most obscured game of the bunch would have to be Super Noah's Ark 3D. Only cause it's the only first person shooter where you get to play as Noah. The game is basically a clone of Wolfenstein 3D which is a better first person shooter to play. The Nerd is confused as to why there are so many goats inside the ark and the reason for Noah to be attacked by goats is a mystery.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiAVGN gets dressed up like Batman to review a series of games based on the Caped Crusader. First up, a Commodore 64 game, which sucks and is given "the Bat punishment." While he praises the NES adaptation of the 1989 movie and the SNES adaptation of Batman Returns, not to mention the SNES game of the Animated Series, he deems the Atari Linx and Sega CD games to be crap, but the worst of all is Batman Forever on SNES. As if all that weren't bad enough, one of Batman's arch-nemeses pays the Bat-Nerd a visit.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd investigates the infamous handheld that gave us headaches...in 3D!
- 2004– 17mTV-MA8.2 (284)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeKyle RogersThe Nerd decides to review a good game for once which is Super Mario Bros. 3. Before he reviews it, he talks about the movie The Wizard which is how American gamers first learn about the game as it was a product placement along with the NES Power Glove. While the Nerd doesn't find the story for The Wizard to be great, he did admit that it holds a place in the gaming community. After putting his review on the Wizard aside he starts to play Super Mario Bros. 3, while it has a lot of hard parts it is really fun to play, however the Nerd couldn't help but notice the game having many hidden messages that lead to the implication that the game is possessed by the devil.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeKyle RogersThe Nerd reviews a flight simulating NES game which is based off of the movie Top Gun. For an older flight simulating video game there isn't much to offer since it's made for the NES, but the confusing controls and lack of music makes the Nerd irritated. His main complaint goes to the landing the plane sequence which always results in the plane crashing into the ocean despite that the Nerd did his best to steer the plane in the correct coordinates. For the finale the Nerd reviews the sequel Top Gun: Second Mission. Which he likes how it's game play is a lot more fast pace, but complains that the missile kill you at a far range giving you less time to avoid them.
- 2004– 12mTV-146.0 (207)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeNathan BarnattThe Nerd and his clumsy pal Keith wreck the halls with some interactive Sega gear. These VR wannabes rank up with the Power Glove, Roll'n Rocker and all that other useless, overpriced shit we wanted as kids to look cool. Time for our heroes to try them out and see how poorly they worked. Hilarity and collateral damage will ensue.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMacaulay CulkinYikes. The Nerd gets the ultimate surprise when former child star Macaulay Culkin shows up on his doorstep with a pizza box full of Home Alone games. Together, they give those filthy animals a damn good thrashing.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeKyle RogersThe Angry Video Game Nerd will tell you why the power glove is so bad.
- 2004– 13mTV-MA8.4 (375)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiKyle RogersAfter getting rid of Jason, the Nerd appeared to be free from his torture. Only to discover that he's being visited by Freddy in his dreams. In the dream world Freddy forces the Nerd to play the Nightmare on Elm Street game for the NES. With the generic Halloween monsters and the campy music, it was far from being as great as it's movie counterpart. The Nerd's main complaint is that the main character in the game has no weapons except for the dream sequences. The Nerd will have to think of something fast if he wants to get rid of Freddy and get out of his own nightmare.
- 2004– 9mTV-MA8.4 (319)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiThe review starts off in the same fashion as a Looney Tunes short film. The Nerd reviews Bugs Bunny's Birthday Blowout which is nothing more than a poor man's Super Mario Bros. style slide scroller game. While the game is generous of providing extra lives, it however suffers from being unorganized by having breakable blocks placed over bottom-less pits and enemies that can hurt you even if you hurt them. Upon reviewing the game the Nerd is visited by Bugs Bunny himself, which the Nerd gives out his hatred by beaten the daylights out of the poor rabbit while trying to finish the game.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd complies to his fan requests to review Superman 64 which he decided to pull everyone's leg by reviewing the Superman game for Commodore 64. His main complaint is the load time takes forever and he finds the Commodore controller to be so stiff that he resulted in using an alternate controller. After that he does review Superman 64 for the Nintendo 64 as the fans wished him to do so in the first place. Once he dived into the first level he already finds it to be terrible when all you do is fly through rings under a short time limit. When it comes to video game Superman has received a lot of bad game adaptations.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiThe Joker holds AVGN hostage and forces him to play the NES, Game Boy and Sega versions of Return of the Joker. They all suck. It enrages the Bat-Nerd so much, he breaks free and fights off the Joker, and then, as a final Bat punishment, he shoves every single bad Batman game up the Clown Prince of Crime's ass.
- 2004– 17mTV-MA8.2 (262)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiKyle RogersBugs Bunny gets revenge on the Nerd by forcing him to play not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE Crazy Castle games! It's a pie-throwing, bomb-bursting, game-smashing, fist-flying, anvil-crashing, carrot-chomping, all-out bombastic barrage of loony proportions!
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd talks about a game on the Sega Dreamcast, the final Sega home console, and while he doesn't have much beef with it, he gets to review a crappy Dreamcast game. Simply known as "Seaman," it's a game about the aquatic reproductive system (what can you expect from a game named after jizz), it's interactive, it's freaky, and the has the voice of Mr. Spock for some reason.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeXander ArnotMike ButtersThe Nerd prepares to play some video games based off corporate mascots, until Pepsiman suddenly appears in his room and forces him to play Pepsiman on PlayStation.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeRodger ParsonsJon St. JohnAfter clearing up the 7-year mystery of Taxman, the Nerd looks at an abundance of Tiger Electronic handheld games. You remember those, right? Basically a poor man's Game Boy? But those were only the beginning...
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd pays tribute to the Game Boy, the handheld console that outlasted the Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and N64. And, much like those consoles, there was a boatload of needless accessories to go with it.
- 2004– 16mTV-MA9.0 (373)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeBooDue to popular demand, the Nerd breaks away from console games and decides to review a PC game from the current millennium. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing - more like Over the Road Disgracing.
- 2004– 14mTV-MA7.5 (190)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeUnable to find any games shitty enough for a review in the cartridge department, the Nerd turns to a console he's yet to cover: The Turbographx 16. And no better way to introduce the black sheep of the 16-bit era than a game featuring that web-footed righter of wrongs, Darkwing Duck.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeKevin FinnThe Nerd has long-since wondered why the Super Nintendo RPG EarthBound had earned such a bad reputation, or at least according to Nintendo Power. So he decides to actually give the game a try, and it's unlike any game he's ever reviewed...and not just because it's good.
- 2004– 21mTV-MA9.1 (464)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeJeanne BasoneThe Nerd looks for the worst full motion video game on the ill-fated 3DO, only to discover the worst video game he's ever seen...at least it would be, if it had any gameplay. Or video.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeAs a special incentive, the AVGN has his fans write his dialogue as he sets out to rant and rave about an NES game he wishes never existed.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeBooThe Nerd reviews all the crap Nintendo tried to market along with the NES. Zapper guns, LaserScopes, Roll'n Rocker, and other accessories one needs to look "cool" while playing video games.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd stumbles across a super rare Super Famicom game that is said to be the worst game ever made. He's reviewed some horrible titles before, like Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, CrazyBus, Big Rigs, Desert Bus and Superman 64 to name a few, but this takes this crap factor to a whole new level.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeAfter the Nerd goes through a frantic frenzy about playing nothing but bad games, he finally settles down and randomly picks a NES game called Gyromite. When he starts the game he finds it unusual that you can't progress further into the game unless the second controller is being used with controls the barriers that prevents you from proceeding. The Nerd isn't sure who he can invite to help him play a bad game, until the robot named Rob appears and says he'll help the Nerd. It turns out that Rob the robot who was a Nintendo accessory was designed to play as a second player for the game Gyromite. However the Nerd finds the game boring even with the help of a robot. So he switches to the other game Rob is compatible for which is called Stack-Up. Not much of a game cause you're giving the robot command directly from the game itself. After no longer being to stand playing these two games, the Nerd tries to convince Rob to play a different game, only to be horrified that Rob can only play Gyromite and Stack-Up.
- 2004– 20mTV-MA7.8 (164)TV EpisodeDirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeWalter JonesAustin St. JohnThe Nerd looks at some Power Rangers games, from the American releases on Nintendo and Genesis, to the horrific Game Boy adaptations, to the Japanese Famicom originals. With the new Power Rangers movie set to morph into theaters soon, the Nerd's angry inner child is pumped.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeMike MateiWhen the Nerd plays through some Mega Man X games which are more graphics and text than game play, he considers calling it quits (again). But he somehow gets transported back in time to 2007, 2006 and 2004 where he interacts with his past selves and review newer Mega Man games.
- DirectorJames RolfeStarsJames RolfeThe Nerd has for a while not done a review that's entirely dedicated towards sports games. The reason being of course is that he's not a big sports fan, he's a video game nerd to be exact. After getting requests to do a review on sports games, the Nerd complies to his fans by playing Atari sport genre games. Mainly cause those are the first sports games made for a home console. Most of the games don't resemble the actual sport either due to the limitation of graphics or due to the unusual rules that don't occur in a real life sport. Despite that the Nerd found most of the games to be fun to play or more entertaining to watch than an actual live sport event. He concludes that despite the difference between sport nerds and video game nerds, he believes that the two groups aren't as different as they seem to be.
