Top 10 Games the Angry Video Game Nerd Should Review in 2020
As 2019 is coming to an end, James Rolfe A.K.A. The Angry Video Game Nerd is still going strong after all these years, and is showing no signs of stopping any time soon. So, with all the games he's reviewed, what games should he review next year? There are still plenty of games out there that can give him a lot to work with, or just be entertaining videos. If there's any games you'd like to see him review feel free to add them.This is the obvious choice. James pretty much teased this over ten years ago in his Bible Games II review. I bet back then he never thought he'd make it this far.
But now that 2020 is almost upon us, this could very well be the first game of the year he reviews. An unlicensed NES game released by the same company that would go on to become Wisdom Tree? What could possibly go wrong?
Edit: Yup, unsurprisingly, this turned out to be his first review of the year.
James has already expressed his love for Contra countless times. Contra and Super C are both awesome, but what about the freak misfit of the series? Contra Force on the NES is a Contra game that isn't really a Contra game, and it's also rubbish. I bet James would have a field day tearing this game apart.
I originally thought of just Earthworm Jim 3D on the N64, but then I realized it would be a good opportunity for James to look at this forgotten series and play through all the games while critiquing the more frustrating aspects. If James reviews this series, he could try to get Tommy Tallarico to be a guest star. That would be cool.
I would like to see James play more Dreamcast games. This one is an LJN game, so it's really a no-brainer.
A game that looks cool and sounds promising but plays like crap. This game comes off as little more than wasted potential, and if James plays it, he may reconsider his statement about Dark Castle being the worst SEGA Genesis game.
I would like to see James review more Wii games since he's now branching out into more modern games, and this stinker is an obvious choice. He could also talk about the other copy-and-paste games Data Design Interactive has released and highlight the absurdity of how often the company keeps releasing the same game.
One of the most infamous video game turkeys of all time, this has potential for both a history lesson and a lot of anger and frustration.
James has already shared his less-than-favorable opinions on the NES Metal Gear game, but the unofficial sequel, Snake's Revenge, is not held in the same high regard as any of the other games in the series. I'd be interested to see if he finds it as bad as NES Metal Gear.
James has stated in several videos that he's a big fan of South Park. Before the excellent South Park: The Stick of Truth came out, South Park games were considered pretty bad. Mike Matei already reviewed these games, but a full-on Angry Video Game Nerd-style review would also be welcome.
One of the most blatant video game rip-offs of the '90s, Awesome Possum was just one of many mascots trying to be Sonic the Hedgehog. His first game on the SEGA Genesis is considered even worse than the first Bubsy game.
It would be hilarious to see how he would critique the game's glitchy dialogue narration.
Yes, they actually made an N64 game based on Neon Genesis Evangelion, and it's rather mediocre from what I've heard.
This has to be the most 2000s video game I've ever seen.
