DT:For years, James "Angry Video Game Nerd" Rolfe has suffered the worst that retro gaming could toss at him for the sake of your amusement. Why does he do it? Is he a masochist? Does the rage that burns inside with every sudden death and game-breaking bug fill him with purpose? Why does the pain give him so much power?
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is a 2D platformer with a retro game style. The title tries really hard to capture the difficulty of old NES games, as well as the character of the Angry Video Game Nerd. While the graphics, music, and controls are all fantastic, it falls a little short in the level design, story, and humour.
SteamFirst: I decided to put off writing about the game I was supposed to review this week to write about a game I played for the first time at PAX Prime 2013. I have actually been sinking a decent amount of time into that game, and I have enjoyed it so it will be getting a favorable review at some point in the near future, but I have been wanting to review this game for a while now, even though it’s not exactly a new release anymore.
Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN), a popular YouTube production from Cinemassacre, continues to grow in reputation with the announcement of a sequel to The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures.
Thanks to Texas-based SGC 2015, indie developer FreakZone Games was given an opportunity to unveil the project to attendees.
