Though he puts that issue aside and starts playing the game on his NES. While the terrorists in the game are able to take 3/4's of John McClain's health away, the Nerd's biggest complaint for the game is the dark areas that only light up when you enter the area which makes it inconvenient when there's a terrorist lurking in that area and you don't know it unless you go into that area. ...

August 7, 2007
The review starts off in the same fashion as a Looney Tunes short film.

While the game is generous of providing extra lives, it however suffers from being unorganized by having breakable blocks placed over bottom-less pits and enemies that can hurt you even if you hurt them. Upon reviewing the game the Nerd is visited by Bugs Bunny himself, which the Nerd gives out his hatred by beaten the daylights out of the poor rabbit while trying to ...

2x16 - Nintendo Power Memories
September 4, 2007
The Nerd does a tribute to the magazine Nintendo Power by showing selected ads that were made exclusive to the magazine, the posters, the walk-through content, and the fan letters that are answered by the staff.

Before the Internet became more common to use the only way to know how to beat a game is by magazine subscription. Besides the magazine being very nostalgic, the Nerd also points out some things that he finds absurd like how the posters are hard to take out, the ...
2x17 - Fester's Quest
September 18, 2007
Dressed as every member of the Addams Family, the Nerd reviews Fester's Quest, an overly long and overly difficult game that he deems is not worth the effort. He destroys it with Gomez's train and moves on to the movie licensed game on Sega. Another creepy and kooky game.

The Nerd returns home with his newly bought 2600 games and starts to play the Leatherface game first.

2x20 - Dragon's Lair
November 20, 2007

December 18, 2007
The Nerd receives a crappy present which is a NES game of Home Alone 2. So he decides to review the game only to find the choice of enemies and the layouts of the levels to be very terrible. His main complaint about the game is that some platforms you can't get on and there are some enemies you can't stun. After he can't take the game anymore he rants on about how he hates poorly made games and how he hates the holiday of Christmas in the same mannerism as Scrooge from the Christmas Carol.

January 8, 2008

Only to discover that most of them are less connected than the other. Which in the end he concludes that the franchise doesn't need to have a well explained time-line when each game is worth playing without knowing what occurred in any of the other games.
2x24 - Rambo
January 22, 2008
With the upcoming release of the fourth Rambo movie, the Nerd reviews Rambo for the NES. The game suffers from four problems which are: confusing navigation on the landscapes, pointless chat options, unnecessary use of animals as enemies, and the idea of the screen blinking red when low on health. The Nerd also reviews some other Rambo games but couldn't find a single one that actually is fun to play. He feels the games should of taken advice from Contra on how to make a commando theme game more fun.
