    The Ten Biggest Winners From The III Showcase + My Thoughts on Indie Games

    As long as I am writing about video games, I will be writing and talking about indie games. I don’t do this out of charity or out of some sort of hipster pride. I write about indie games because year after year, they go toe to toe with AAA games and produce some of the…

  • My Top 25 Moments From Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth

    My Top 25 Moments From Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth

    (This should be obvious, but this list contains massive spoilers) I’m a big “moments” guy. I love to look back on the best moments from a year in video games and rank them, and think about them. It is one of my favorite lists to make each year (you can see my 2023 list here!)…

    The Top 10 Games I Need More People to Play

    In the world of gaming, there is almost nothing more sad than absolutely loving a game, and then not seeing any conversation about it. If you love a video game, you generally want the world to share in that joy you felt while playing it. When you dive into the world of indies in particular,…

    BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Games of 2022

    When I don’t have other things to write about, I’m slowly starting to work on doing top 10s for each year through the mid-1990s. This is in anticipation of doing bigger lists, like my greatest games of all time. I find ranking games year by year is an easier way to parse through things over…

    The Biggest Winners Of the Playstation State of Play

    Much like the Xbox Developer Direct a few weeks ago, I came away Playstation’s latest games showcase neither super excited or disappointed. I thought it was fine. Much like that Xbox Developer Direct, no game totally blew me away, but also, just like that show, I became a bit more interested in several games, which…

    Ranking the Xbox Developer Direct Showcases

    After last January’s Xbox developer showcase where Hi-Fi Rush was surprise dropped, this now seemingly annual tradition might be one of the most anticipated gaming showcases of the year. This year was guaranteed to be a big deal because the next Indiana Jones game was being revealed, and there were hopes for another surprise as…

    Big Nerd Gaming’s Top 10 Most Anticipated Games of 2024

    Let’s be real, odds are that 2024 will not reach the level of 2023 for video games. 2023 was a historic year, as I showed in a previous article. However, that doesn’t mean 2024 won’t be a banger of a year. After doing the research, there is a lot to be excited about in the…

    Big Nerd Gaming’s 2023 Honorable Mentions

    As we all know, 2023 was an absolutely packed year for video games. I absolutely can’t believe I am about to list the games you are about to see as “honorable mentions.” Looking at my past four years of lists, almost all of these would have made my top 10 in those ranks, which is…

  • Big Nerd Gaming’s Top 10 Games of 2023

    Big Nerd Gaming’s Top 10 Games of 2023

    Making this list is one of my favorite things every year because I love video games, and I love ranking things. So reaching the end of the year and compiling a top 10 video game list that I view as well researched is always very rewarding for me. This year was especially hard, as while…

    Big Nerd Gaming’s 2023 Awards

    Before we get to my honorable mentions and actual top 10 games of 2023, I have more awards to give out. I enjoy doing these as it lets me highlight games that might not get as much shine on my overall top 10 list. Head here for my top 10 moments of the year list.…
