    Fake 2025 Game Awards Betting Odds + My Full Predictions

    Welcome to year three of my Game Awards winner predictions and fake betting odds. This idea was born out of a simple and foolish desire. My desire to actually bet on The Game Awards. The betting site “Polymarket” now has odds for “Game of the Year,” but I really wish that I could bet on…

  • My Hottest Gaming Takes of 2025 So Far

    My Hottest Gaming Takes of 2025 So Far

    This may surprise you, given the title of this article, but I don’t like a lot of “hot takes” in the gaming space. I feel like a lot of these takes are given in bad faith, and mostly for attention. Calling a very well regarded game “bad” is an easy way to get attention and…

    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach Review- Craving Tough Love

    As someone who reviews almost every game that I play, there’s a point in the process where I kind of start mentally writing my review. Once I’m deep enough in a game, there usually isn’t much that is going to change. The game kind of gets locked into the score and thought process I have…

    Every time I complete a game, one of the first things I do is head to a notepad file on my computer and update my ranks for the year based on how I feel. I do this for a few reasons. First off, I just find it fun. But also, by doing this as I…

    The 2025 BigNerdGaming Mid-Year Game Awards

    Here’s the thing. I love ranking stuff. A lot. I started this blog for a lot of reasons, but the biggest of all was just that I wanted to have more of a platform for a bunch of ranks I was literally doing for myself. The ranks that excite me the most for this blog…

    My 15 Most Anticipated Games For The Rest of 2025

    When I look at 2025 so far, I’d honestly say that this year has fallen just a touch short of 2023 and 2024. That isn’t a big knock at all. I thought 2023 and 2024 were historic, and 2025 is just a little behind. Despite this, I still constantly feel overwhelmed with the number of…

    UPDATE: These predictions are from June. My final predictions are now posted here. For those who don’t know, it’s time for me to come clean. I am a Game Awards sicko. I absolutely love it. I have a lot of justifications for my sickness, which I’ll probably go more into during my coverage at the…

    BigNerdGaming’s Top 15 Most Anticipated Games of 2025

    2023 was one of the greatest gaming years of my life. I felt like I played more amazing games that year than perhaps any other year in my life. I was very pessimistic about 2024 surpassing it. Then, 2024 came in and did surpass it for me by a hair. I thought 2023 was a…
