AOTF:
YouTube made its grand debut just about a decade ago and quickly led to the rise of many internet personalities, though most struggled to remain relevant for an extended period of time. One of the most prominent of the early personalities was that of James Rolfe, aka the Angry Video Game Nerd, who has only grown in popularity over the years, including the release of his own movie in 2014. He even saw the release of his own game, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, which has now fittingly made its way to the Wii U eShop. Full of the many tropes that the AVGN has ranted about over the years, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures still manages to stand out as a legitimate platformer all on its own.
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.
