Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dirk Dagger]

I actually did manage to play this elsewhere. From what I got, it wasn't that bad of a game. It's for the most part, a pretty typical noir flash game. I thought the animation was quite good. I wasn't expecting there to be point and click parts. Well, I guess that is the whole game.

This game's name is really nice, although I doubt it's original. It was weird to have a guy in cement shoes in the room. Dang, that came out wrong. Well, I still wouldn't recommend it. It links to a dead website too.

[Hire A Private Eye]

I guess I thought this was okay, like most people. There really weren't much for instructions. Were you supposed to touch something to take pictures? It didn't seem very rewarding for me. I certainly wasn't that good at it. I guess it is kind of an original idea.

The music was alright. The animation was fairly mediocre too. I guess there was just nothing noteworthy about this. I like games with more clear instructions. It wasn't terrible, though.

[Subterfuge]

I ended up enjoying this game! I really have no idea how similar it is to checkers or chess. I got the first level beaten. That's probably the closest I've ever gotten in one of these games. I'm not interested in playing the rest, lol. It was really nice to see how it was unique. Actually, that's another game, but that's another story...

I think the sounds are nice. You have great mobility. You should have that in a game like this. I wish I knew what the title meant. It's something in German, I think.

[Unique]

I was impressed at how good this game was. It was really interesting to see what design would come up next. I guess there wasn't any way you could lose at this game. I got a score of 94,000. I liked how it actually got harder the more it went on. I was eager to find out how it would do that!

The music was quite good too. That highscore thing is a dead link. I like how it kept making that certain sound over and over. It's a nice laid back game. When it moved, it seemed to either make it or break it for me.

[The Strangers 2]

I can see why you went to stick games. This wasn't that good. Of course, it's still better than other shooting games I've played. The premise is pretty unique. I don't even know if the enemies can kill you. It's more about you not shooting civilians.

The CGI is pretty good. Seems like more people are using that nowadays. Well, I guess it's not fully CGI. It doesn't seem like traditional animation, at least. While not that innovative, it's in no way bad.

[LOTRO - Swig & Toss]

At first, I was confused by the title. I then realized it was an obvious reference to LOTR! The O at the end just really threw me off. It's too bad you couldn't go sober. On my first try, I didn't understand it. I actually do like the graphics in this.

You rarely see CGI around here. While not great, it works pretty well. I guess a drunk game is pretty funny. It's weird how you can just not hit anything. Rather, you can but it bounces off.

[The Spill Canvas Pinball]

It seems like most people thought this was okay, and I agree with them. It seemed to be too slowly paced. I'm used to pinball games being faster. It even seemed a bit too easy like that. I still thought the style was pretty good. It was nice to see the design. Some things were pretty well hidden.

I think the music could have been better. It just didn't seem very appropriate for a pinball game. Real pinball games are more fast paced. I couldn't really find much of a theme. It was kind of different than any other games I've played recently.

[Pirate Race]

I found this game to just be okay. I think the best part was being able to fire the cannons. It wasn't that rewarding, but alright. Pirates are pretty cool. The music was nice and fast paced. There just didn't seem to be that much detail into it.

I would have wanted it to be harder, I guess. It didn't seem to have much variety. The designs you do have aren't bad. There's nothing wrong with them. I couldn't even really tell they were pirates at first.

[A Christmas Quest]

While not a fan of RPG's, this still delivered the goods. It's probably because I could get medals so easily at first! I couldn't get that far when it came to actually being at a higher level. I found that to be a weird restriction. I mean, I would just die if I didn't have the experience, right? Well, maybe it would be too easy then.

I love how we're getting all this Christmas stuff lately! It's tons of fun! The music is quite good as well. I like the different kinds of enemies. Didn't know a goomba would be here.

[Hazard]

I think this is one of the best games you guys have ever made! It really was quite creative. It still probably could have used better level design. I like how you can see everything at once. You get a good sense of what's going on. You really have to plan ahead with this stuff.

Even the enemy turrets are really fun. I like just firing over and over. I think I can remember this vaguely from your old website. The music is pretty good too. Glad to know at least some people like this.
