obeyweegee This guy is amazing! Although I only recently started watching him (last year to be exact), he's one of my favorites. Not only that, but he revolutionized gaming on the internet. While I wouldn't exactly recommend him for kids (like at ALL), for others, it's a treat! I love this guy and hope to see more of his content.

hellraiser7 To me the strangest thing about technology is the sub culture it produces. Who'd of thought the underground sub culture amateur films and web series would actually come this far today; which just further proves that you can still create good and great things no matter your limitations. This show was one of the first that to me helped pave that way.It's such a simple idea but that's why it's so great and has grown and is still is going to this day, heck there's even going to be a movie about this hopefully it's great. The show is basically like MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) just as they take a lot of bad B movies and make mockery jokes on them, this show does it to video games.James Rolfe is just great, he's kinda playing himself but at the same time slightly contrary due to some of his exaggerated nature. And that's the point he's not a guy meant to be taken seriously; he's almost like a radio shock jock the things he spews out are just really hilarious from the amount of anger, frustrations, and colorful profanity he spews it's both jaw dropping and also just plain funny. But mainly why the humor works is the mere fact that's it's funny because it's true. Yeah there are some visual humor gags which are funny and help reinforce James comedy but really for me it's the verbal humor and James performance that drives this series.I wouldn't say every game he played is really as bad as he makes it, one or two I actually liked (I said one or two). But most of the games he's review are yeah really really bad and sadly I've been unfortunate to play a few of them myself (but don't own for the record thank god or should I say thank me.). Who hasn't felt that disappointment whenever you've rented a game at the video store and you had high hopes this game would blow your mind, only to simply dash your hopes like yesterday's news.James in a way kind of represents our voice on what we were thinking and feeling at the time we might have played one of the games he selected. Though to me the ones that he picks the most or that I've always like were on licensed video games (games based on movies) which I agree always seemed to be the ones that disappointed the most. I can never entirely understand why the heck it is so hard to make a game based on a movie actually good let alone work at all. Mainly because they were made for all the wrong reasons, just simply not made with care or effort at all. Whatever the real reason we'll never know, all I can say is if James or you've played a bad one then it's best to stick to the real deal the movie itself.Some of my favorite have been now doubt the "Top Gun" game which was just hilarious seeing how he's just struggling to land the sucker, yeah I've played that game I couldn't land the sucker either. His segment on Atari Porn games, I still wonder what in the hell they were thinking back then. And my favorite one was the recent "Toxic Crusaders" episode because it had Lloyd Kalfman in it, just seeing him in that episode I thought was a dream come true and yes on further note I really like the first and forth "Toxic Avenger" movies. I just really love the back and forth between both James and Lloyd most of it was actually unscripted, and I really had a feeling that both were having fun together, which made the episode all the more fun and hilarious for me.Well that's all I can say, if you've played a bad video game then "The Angry Video Game Nerd" will be there.Rating: 4 stars

WakenPayne So far I have been watching and enjoying internet critics. Nostalgia Critic, Cinema Snob, Spoony and others. So it wasn't long until I found this guy. Granted I have only seen about 4 of his reviews (The 2 Bible Game Reviews, Star Wars Games and Wizard of Oz). I think based on that I can review this guy's work.The scenario is simple. Take a gaming nerd from the 1980's and 1990's who has almost every game you can possibly think of on gaming consoles considered nostalgic to some. Take the absolute worst games out of the lot of them with bad controls and objectives that either are not clear or completely ridiculous.First of all, his reviews require a very specific audience. If you have never played an Atari, Nintendo or Super-Nintendo games then this will be a very hard show to get into. I mean don't get me wrong. He has clear and concise points that can make up for that and make them entertaining reviews.With that being said I do find the humour of this show a little bit off (out of the 4 reviews I found 2 of them have scenarios involving crap, crap is not an adjective in this case) but some bits were funny like the rant in the Star Wars games review about Darth Vader turning into a scorpion and using the famous line of "No, that's not true that's IMPOSSIBLE!".So this show is definitely worth checking out but only if you have played some form of video games, specifically the Nintendo, Super-Nintendo and Atari. I can see why people regard him highly but as a more recent gamer who was born around the time these consoles were disappearing - I find it harder to get into.

jasper102011 Jasper102011 here to review AVGN show My favourite web show ever staring James the nerd, the show is basically about him reviewing older games instead of newer ones.I like the swearing and the the humour is on a whole new level. The theme song is very catchy gives you a smile on your face.He's even making a movie! He shows his wasted childhood playing these shitty games and shows everyone the nightmares of these life-changing games.over-all, you have to check the nerd out, THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD!
