Did he say he hated because the AVGN hated it? He said his opinions on the game mirrored those of the nerd, not that they were because of him. Same with Deadly Towers. Of course he bought it afterwords probably to see how bad it was and saw that the Nerd was correct. In fact it is a pretty awful...
Marble Madness? Ducktales? Do you have the brainworms!? Both are very good games.
Deadly Towers is pretty awful. I remember playing the game and wondering what I was supposed to be doing. I'm happy that I wasn't just doing it wrong and it was truly just a really bad game.
