    I gotta say that while I love the reviews, I'm tired of the little skits he does themed after the games. But I have a feeling he's doing this more to showcase his filmmaking talents more than just showing himself in his game room. And hey, it's worked. Looks like he's getting some work outside of AVGN...

    I swear im not making this up but for some reason every night I have to turn on my playlist of AVGN vids on in order to fall asleep at night. I guess the sounds of nintendo games and james's rants ensure a good night sleep

    Loved it when he put his hand in the belt. Distinctly reminds me of Al Bundy from Married with Children.

    Is he a fan of the show?

    At least he is showing off his older things in the intro, also I like the new place too, good thing he managed to set up a room already.

    As a movie critic, he's a good game critic.

    I like most of the Nerd's videos, but for some reason I was under-whelmed by the Superman & Batman videogame reviews. But since everyone else here seems to have loved them, I guess it was just me.

    I liked the last two a lot, even though I've been fortunate enough to NOT play most of 'em save for Batman on the NES.

    Holy crap - Batman Returns... really. MK-based platformer/beatemup? Wow. That's a winner right there
    -AB+

    Holy crap. It's been a while.

    @CelticJobber : It's not just you. For some reasons, I can't put his batman games review in my top3, just in my top5. To clarify, almost every new review he did seems better than the previous ones that obligatory makes me change my top3 favorites avgn reviews. He actually did entertain me, specially the unplayables games, and he did tells me things I didn't know, which is something I always expected in his reviews. Unfortunatly, his speech to the cartridges "I'm batman" was fun the first and second time, but again and again... it became not so funny.

    Even if it's not a complete review, the batman game review by wizwar100 seems to me better than the one by avgn. I'm talking here about the humor, something I expect more than costumes and acting, even if it makes the video more polish and dramatic.

    Yes, avgn is a good entertainer, a nice person. Yes, he is a good reviewer. But, it was not my favorite batman game review. sorry James.
    Long time no see. Still playing my coleco games?

    I just noticed something. In his intro for the Batman review, John Hardy's soul is on display (via the Big Boy Bobble head doll) on top of the old TV. Anyone else catch this?

    On his Cinemassacre account, he responded to Nostalgia Critic with a movie review:

    Funny video!

    The graphics in Batman: Return of the Joker are amazing on the NES.

    I'm surprised James didn't review the NES version of Batman Returns.
