BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Video Game Endings Of All Time
This might be a bad way to start off a “top 10 video game endings list,” but I strongly believe that video game endings are a bit overrated. A poorly done ending in a video game often brings outrage that I think is a bit over the top. I believe that people are too quick…

BigNerdGaming’s 25 Most Anticipated Games of 2026
The last three years have made me love gaming more than ever before, which I certainly didn’t think was possible. There have literally never been as many good video games coming out as there have been since 2023, at least if you are tracking critic scores. AAA Studios seem to be more consistent than ever,…

My WAY WAY Too Early 2026 Game Awards Nominee Predictions
For the last two years, I have done something that I consider to be truly sick. I have attempted to predict most of The Game Awards nominees a bit after Summer Game Fest. This is a very difficult task, as some games do not yet have release dates, and many games with release dates get…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Games of 2025
As much work as I put into all of my various 2025 lists, there really is nothing else like a plain old year end top 10. I can make a million different types of weird lists to hype various games up, but there’s literally no way for me to tell you to play a game…

This is probably my second favorite post I do every year. As great as it is talking about the characteristics of different video games, there’s something extra special about diving deep and exploring individual moments from those games. If someone tells me their favorite video games from a year, I think there are things I…

BigNerdGaming’s 2025 Honorable Mentions
The point of an honorable mention is exactly that, to be a quick mention. When it comes to video game top 10s, the honorable mentions are meant to be a way to briefly remark on a very good game that missed the cut, and then move on from there. But I refuse to do that.…

The 2025 Nerdys: All Of My Dumbest Video Game Awards
Welcome to part one of six for Big Nerd Gaming’s year-end content! The coming weeks will feature many lists with very serious rankings that I truly poured my heart into. Today, things are a bit less prestigious, but I still put a lot of effort into tracking these all year! The Nerdys are my way…

My 23 Biggest Winners From Game Awards Week
The 2025 Game Awards are officially in the books! Coming off the 2024 show, which I thought was an all timer, the show had a whole lot to live up to. I had a great time with it, but I would say it fell a bit short of that incredible show. After a first half…

Andresplays’ Best 15 Moments in Gaming For 2025
Editor’s Note: For the second consecutive year, Andres has been generous enough to contribute an article to the blog for our end of year coverage. I want to thank him for his time and excellent writeups here. Sadly, these moments are not ranked despite my best efforts to convince him to do so. I suppose…
