He's the angriest gamer you'll ever heard! I've know this guy since summer of 2016. His video make me laugh a lot. The first AVGN video is Friday The 13th (NES). The channel is Cinemassacre, that's where the AVGN episodes are at. His biggest enemy is LJN (the worst game company). My question is why when Nintendo is around when there's a movie LJN have to make it? This is worth watching and I hope someday he review BatMan Dark Tomorrow (more like BatMan Dank Tomorrow). This is the best video game critic in my opinion.

Of all the shows that have become popular on the web, this is my favorite. I started watching his game-reviews when he only had 10 or so episodes. I was hooked immediately. Even now in 2015 he still makes me laugh about the old and maybe therefore nostalgic video- games. The way he makes his video's are addicting in a sense that he is always capable to make you laugh with 'childish' foul mouth without the overacting. Especially in earlier episodes he looks sincerely mad about failures in games. I recommend his episode 'ghosts and goblins' and Buggs bunny's crazy castle for epic laughter. For more serious episodes I would recommend seeing Sword Quest. Don't miss out on CDI Zelda! I am as a Dutchman scarred when I heard Phillips made a mess like that! If you are skeptic about seeing this, take 20 minutes of your time to see an episode an decide for yourself whether it is worth to see his whole library.

Monster Madness is the live action version of the Crestwood House books, which I love as well as James obviously. Anyway, the AVGN is the best web series ever. Love everything the guy does. Its like I love old Universal and Hammer horror films as well as the great 80s horror...I love NES/SNES/Sega Genesis games...as well as 80s cartoons that he's reviewed like the TMNT series...what else can I say? He's a Genius/Gza. He's the live action Captain N: Gamemaster. Once you see one Monster Madness or AVGN episode, you're hooked. Mike Matei's reviews of obscure martial arts/horror flicks are great as well, which are on James' Youtube site as well as Cinemassacre.com. Go check all of it and thank me later.

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
