The Angry Video Game Nerd [Edit] [Talk]

James Rolfe (a.k.a The Angry Video Game Nerd, formerly The Angry Nintendo Nerd) is an internet reviewer of bad video games. His specialty is games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. He was originally known as the Angry Nintendo Nerd, but changed his name in order to increase the variety of games he could review as well as avoid the risk of being sued for copyright infringement. The Nerd, as he is often called, has reviewed games from the first five generations of video gaming. A recurring theme is his extreme dislike of LJN games.

Rolfe also filmed a full-length feature film based on the series, in which he reviews the Atari 2600 game E.T.: the Extra Terrestrial, considered by many to be the worst video game of all time.

The Nerd does not limit himself to games, but he has also reviewed consoles and accessories as well. He also devoted an episode to looking at old issues of Nintendo Power in 2007.
