Shadow Over Mystara (Arcade Game) Review By Mike Matei



If you are frequent purveyor of our blog, you may know that we're HUGE fans of Cinemassacre - home of the brilliant web series, The Angry Video Game Nerd. He used to be just the dude who played opposite of James Rolffe on almost every video he did, from Board James to the Angry Video Game Nerd videos. I know you are not into emulators, but I would love your take on the BS Zelda games sometime. I loved these games.

The jokes in the video are about as funny as the stuff you find on Uncyclopedia , with the Inspector Gadget impression saying hilarious things like "Minecrap" which leads to award-winning lines like this "I understand why all the kids are playing this game these days , it's because they love to build brown bricks with Minecrap.

The AVGN reviews various sport-themed games (2600). Mike covers not only Zelda content on Cinemassacre, but an abundance of other gaming and original content as well, so be sure to check out himself and the rest of the Cinemassacre team online and on YouTube for more gaming content.

Reports of the shutdown first began in a comments thread on Cinemassacre when fans realized that they could not watch the channel's latest video, a first impressions review of Dark Souls for the Xbox 360 made by AVGN co-writer Mike Matei. Never played this one as I felt a bit of apathy towards the series after 7, and didn't play another Mega Man until X.

The AVGN plays the NES game Friday the 13th based on the horror movie. But, just like in the games that the nerd finds himself tirelessly trudging through, you'll come across many reasons to swear like a sailor. I like his movie reviews, but not his video game glitches.

Soon, Rolfe released a review of The Karate Kid game which was the first episode where Rolfe's character is introduced as The Angry Nintendo Nerd.” Naming these videos The Angry Nintendo Nerd Trilogy”, Rolfe posted them on Cinemassacre. Rolfe's review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game was reported in an MTV segment called "Viral Videos Infect the Mainstream".

Considered as one of the pioneering internet reviewers in its history, the Nerd was highly influential in bringing online video reviews to the mainstream public. Matei has also worked on different series of Rolfe's such as Board James , in which he has his own character, the cheating Jerkass Motherfucker Mike.

In many cases, the Nerd would dress up as other popular characters while reviewing their games, such as Batman. I imagined most hard games back int he 90s was just because of hardware limitations and novice coding, and people just somehow ended up loving them.

I asked James if he wanted to make AVGN Game Glitches 2”, but he said that he wanted to get back to reviewing bad games, which is the Mike Matei true theme to the AVGN show. Whether James Rolfe knew it or not, the rise of The Nerd was a moment that changed gaming critique and entertainment forever".

Him and James have their own series, James and Mike Mondays , where they review various types of video games. Years later, we were working on an AVGN episode called Game Glitches”. Sorry, no info about the next episode of The Angry Video Game Nerd is available yet.
