BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Nintendo Switch Games
We are almost there. Roughly two years ago, I made my first console top 10 list, with the eventual goal of essentially using all of these lists to better craft my “top 25 games of all time.” After this list, we will finally be there. I won’t be making lists for the PS5 or Xbox…

The Top 10 Games of the 2020s That Will Age The Worst
After posting my “Top 10 Games of the 2020s That Will Age The Best” yesterday, I naturally needed to compile this list. Life and clickbait are all about balance. The big thing I want to clarify here is that this list is not saying “people will say these games suck in 20 years.” In the…

The Top 10 Games of the 2020s That Will Age The Best
In my recent mailbag post, my friend Ross asked me what modern games I considered timeless. My first instinct was to say that pretty much any modern game that is well-regarded will probably be timeless.

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Playstation 4 Games
One thing I love about video game consoles is the incredible memories that can be made with them. I have had fond memories of every single console that I’ve made a top 10 list for in the past few years. As I make these lists, those memories come rushing back to me all over again.…

We are closing in on the end of what has been close to a two-year journey for me. In August of 2024, I started ranking my top 10 games within each game console in an attempt to whittle my selections down before ultimately giving out my top 25 games of all time. After this list,…

My 9 Biggest Winners From The 2026 Triple-I Initiative Showcase
I strive to cover indie games whenever possible here at Big Nerd Gaming, but I also don’t cover them as charity. I cover them because they often deserve the coverage. This also means that I don’t bother covering them when I don’t think that it’s worthwhile. There are tons of indie gaming showcases these days,…

I know what you’re thinking. “Gosh, what a hilarious April Fools’ joke, Westen.” But here’s the thing. Yes, today is April Fools’. But this list is for real. I am genuinely about to rank the top 10 lists that I have made. This list has been requested by many for years, and I think today…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 5 Games of 2026 So Far
As much as I love ranking things, I traditionally hold back on revealing what my top games are through the first three months of the year. Most of the time, it’s going to end up being a pretty redundant task. I always post what my top 10 games of the year so far are at…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Switch/Switch 2 Games Published By Nintendo
If you are a regular reader of the blog, you’ll know that I recently played Pokémon Pokopia and did not care for it all that much. However, my first session with it was absolutely electric. Before I understood how slow and plodding it would be to do just about anything in that game, I was…

What If We Had Ten Nominees At The Game Awards Like The Oscars? A Retrospective.
This past week, I watched The Oscars for the first time ever. While pretty much all of my free time gets devoted to video games and sports, I recently started watching movies occasionally when I work out instead of just gaming Youtube videos. I’ve really enjoyed this little mix-up, as I’ve never watched movies consistently…
