Nickelodeon games are video games based on the cable television network Nickelodeon and Sports for Kids(commonly called Nickelodeon GAS or Nick GAS) shows. Nick GAS games are published by THQ and are highly popular. THQ recently reported that sales of the different Nickelodeon games have totaled more than $1 billion and accounted for more than 50 million units worldwide.

One of these video games is Avatar: The Last Airbender. This video game is based on the cable show of the same name. The series show follows the adventures of Aang and two friends he met when he was trapped in an iceberg, Katara and Sokka. Though the shows demographic is for 6- to 11-year-old kids, Avatar:

The Last Airbender is a hit to kids and critics alike with its Asian-influenced world, martial arts and elemental magic. In the video game, the player can play as Aang, Katara, Sokka and Haru as they grow into a team that uses kung fu-inspired bending arts through the Avatar universe.

You decide how your character masters the elements and journey through all the great nations of the Avatar universe. The video games are based on the first, second and third seasons of the show and are available on Nintendo DS, PC, Game Boy Advance, Xbox, PlayStation Portable, GameCube and PlayStation 2.

Another very popular video game in the Nickelodeon games list is SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom. Children and adults have been captivated by the adventures of the plucky little sponge and his friends since its debut in 1999. The video game story begins with the conniving Plankton plotting to steal the Krabby Patty formula for his own eatery.

SpongeBob and his starfish friend, Patrick, have to defend Bikini Botoom from the robots that Plankton created and mistakenly programmed to disobey. In the videogame, players control SpongeBob, Sandy the squirrel and Patrick Star through a number of locations and can switch between characters at bus stops throughout the game.

Core gameplay involves collecting items and defeating the robots while crossing platforms and avoiding environmental hazards like spikes and flames. There are also a number of mini-games accessible throughout the game. The game has 16 huge 3D environments to explore. You can discover bonus levels, hidden items and secret rewards. It is available in PlayStation 2, Nintendo Game Cube, Xbox, Game Boy Advance and PC.

Tak and the Power of Juju is another one of the Nickelodeon games that was a precedent when it came out because it was first released as a video game before it became an animated television series. It tells the story of Tak and how he tries to save the Pupanum village from the evil Tlaloc.

The gameplay mostly consists of obstacles, puzzles and a colorful platformer. The player has a health meter represented by the feather on Taks head. The player can interact with and get past obstacles with the help of animals.
