BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Nintendo DS Games
I’ve said this many times before, but one of my favorite elements of a top 10 list is that it can really tell a story, even if the person making it doesn’t intend to do so. When I started compiling this list of my top 10 Nintendo DS games of all time, I didn’t think…

MIO: Memories in Orbit Review- It’s Not You, It’s MIO
I’ve had several discussions in the past few years about the term “Metroidvania,” and if it should still be how we reference games in that particular genre. The Metroid series isn’t nearly as prolific as it once was, and the Castlevania series has been missing for quite a while (editor’s note: well, not anymore), so…

My 10 Biggest Winners From the Playstation’s February State of Play
I really didn’t expect to be writing this post. I had originally planned to drop my review for MIO: Memories in Orbit today. I was aware of the State of Play coming this week, but it had barely been on my mind because these shows rarely get me all that excited. State of Plays are…

Three Nioh 3 Demo Impressions From A Nioh Newbie
It wasn’t that long ago where I probably would have completely ignored the release of Nioh 3. I never played the first two games, and it has always taken a somewhat high bar for me to even try out a Souls game. Despite very strong reviews, I could never get myself interested in the Nioh…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 10 Video Game Intros of All Time
After doing a “best endings of all time” list last week, I, of course, immediately started thinking about what a “best intros of all time” list what would look like. So here we are. I believe that having a good introduction is very important for any piece of media. If you have a boring opening,…

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…

SOMA’s Ending Makes Me Think About How We Treat People On The Internet
This post contains spoilers… obviously. I kept the main plot summary in one section that is marked. But major events in the game are alluded to throughout the piece. So there’s no fully avoiding spoilers here. One of the most fascinating aspects of art is how easy it can be to take away completely different…

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…
