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…

BigNerdGaming’s Top 20 Moments of 2025
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…

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…

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 Way Too Early 2025 Game Awards Predictions
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…

Split Fiction Review- The Bar Is Raised One More Time
After winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021, I imagine that there was a lot of pressure on Hazelight studios for their next game. It Takes Two was one of the craziest and balls to the wall games I have ever played. One upping that was always going to be a…
