    This is the one and only list declaring with full confidence what are the best nerd websites in the internet universe. There are many, and many had to be cut in our in depth look at the best on the web. Those of you who read our site on a regular basis probably won’t be surprised by our number one pick. Those of you who don’t have as much knowledge of our site may be surprised by our number one choice. Either way, we feel it’s justified based on our in depth analysis of what provides the most for the nerd when traversing the numerous nerd websites on the internet. This is an important list for those of you who have identified yourself throughout your life as a nerd. It’s these websites that have further confirmed your nerdish instincts.

    11. Game Usagi

    25956500_125x1251.jpgWant to know about the next upcoming game before dishing out all that hard earned done in a never ending shitty economy? Game Usagi will let you know before you waste your money on a shitty game. His new game reviews are precise and strike at the core of what the games about. When reading about new games, you will know if you will be a fan or not with their insightful commentary and consistent updates. Their suggestions for games that have not reached popularity is also another strong aspect of the website giving power to those games that are often ignored for erroneous reasons. Game Usagi is simply a solid video game website.

    10. Game Guy Thinks

    gameguy-logo_197x97.jpgGame Guy Thinks, as you can tell by the title, is a thinking man’s gamer site. In this site, you will get insightful reviews on everything in the nerd world, from video games to dungeon and dragons. Also covered in his website are his bouts with depression which are always interesting reads into the mind of a gamer who’s analytical disposition sometimes leads to an honesty not conducive for normal happiness. His reviews of all things nerd are some of the best on the internet. Game Guy Thinks is proof that sometimes a person sacrifices himself for something greater than himself.

    9. Nifty Comics

    The creator behind NiftyComics.com (and sister site TheNiftyNerd.com) shares the wit and wisdom of Mat Nastos, the world’s premiere professional nerd. The site focuses heavily on comic books, but also targets the worlds of video games, television and film with its own brand of unique humor. Nowhere else online can you find some of the best superhero comics, color commentary on the latest video games and a definitive list of the top 10 comic book games? The surgeon general warns that logging on may not only cause you to go blind, but may just break your funny bone.

    8. DonkeyGamer

    Who has a better mascot than Donkey Gamer? Who answers more of your nerd-ish questions than Donkey gamer? Donkey Gamer is one of our favorite websites, and its hands down the best Australian gaming website on the internet, and would be higher on our list if they updated more often. Their layout is aesthetically pleasing with a background mimicing the heavens of Super Mario World. Their articles are nicely written pieces of nerd mania covering everything under the nerd sun from new video games, to retro video games, and to nerd rants criticizing certain video games. We obviously have a lot in common with Donkey Gamer. Go to their site and read one of their rants and you will be hooked in this nerdish acrimony for many more days to come.

    7. Gnome’s Lair

    Aside from having one of the coolest names for a nerd site that I’ve ever heard, there are plenty of reasons why the random Gnome’s Lair deserves a high spot on this list. Try to find a better site that covers video games, board games and Warhammer. I guarantee that you’ll fail. The layout of the site is great, and more importantly the articles themselves are witty and interesting to read through. There are few sites besides our own that the staff here at Old-Wizard takes the time to read through on a regular basis, and the Gnome’s lair is one of them. Go find out why!

    6. Once Upon a Geek

    logo_165.gifIf you’re anything like me, you’ve had trouble finding a good comic book related blog on the internet. Well, your troubles are over. Once Upon a Geek is definitely the site to visit if you’re looking for a good comic book related website. With entertaining articles, a great layout and funny insights its hard to find a site that even comes close when you’re talking about comics. But its not just limited to comic books, at Once Upon a Geek you can find info on Doctor Who, Star Trek and Star Wars. This is definitely an amazing site, and one I check at least once a week.

  1. Great to see smaller, independent sites like ours on the list. I believe for a website like OW to list sites like Donkeygamer, it shows integrity in the sense that they’re under no financial obligation or form of ’sponsorship’ to list us. They’ve obviously done their own research and looked around and listed what THEY like. Any site has the right to create their own lists based entirely on their own opinion. If you have a different opinion, that’s fine but to slam a site for their own opinion; saying their opinion is wrong, seems to border on subtle censorship to me.
