Actually I couldn't stand it. Total missed opportunity.


Only time I've ever disliked a Nerd review but... he could have done so much more with it.

First I've seen of his, so I enjoyed it, since I've seen a few reviews of similar ilk that are far more angry and thus far more unbearable. This, I could actually justify watching.

Well,For a stand alone AVGN review,I thought it was pretty good.But you are so right.TONS of missed opportunity.Tons of it.It's a damn shame that he didn't even touch on the two Genesis games.I was expecting him to at least rant on the LC game for Genesis.

He probably decided to stay away from the Genesis Crusade game due to the YouTube video review of it by "the Fan Mann." Fat Mann is a self-described AVGN rip off, so it was smart to stay away from reviewing that one. Not only that, but AVGN actually ends up making a couple of similar comparisons---both reviewers mention how lame it is that Indiana never looks different throughout the whole game, despite the time period changes.

Here's Fat Mann's original review (NSFW):


And here's his second look at the game, titled "The Revenge" (also NSFW):



AVGN is better.

Fan Mann just screams at the game, where the AVGN is actually intelligent about it.

I felt the same way I was looking foeward to this review over everything but he did not even put any clips from the movies like he does with his other reviews or Indy did not come and visit him


This review was really half assed



Look at this review




No its not really that funny but at least he put in a Lao Che clip that was accurate with what he was talking about

I thought he did an okay job, but I've seen him do much much much better. The funniest part of the video is where he seems to accidentally break a window or lamp with the whip. lol. That wasn't even scripted but it's hilarious! haha.

And he didn't review FOA because he reviews BAD games. BAD ONES. And he doesn't do PC games either, I can tell from the type of gamer he seems to be that he is all about the consoles. PC and Console gamers are different breeds. But I'm sure he knows about it and has played it before.

... I had an LC game he didn't review, that was more like little mini games or something. There was a motorcycle chase, an inside the castle thing, uhhm... and some other stuff I can't remember. I think there was a puzzle you had to solve before the fire in the tunnels of Venice reaches Indy and Elsa. That game kinda sucked and I was expecting that to be in the review. Oh well.

That's the Tatio game. He did mention it.

He didn't review it because it's a good game.

The Quicken666 had a review of that game before YouTube deleted his account.
