Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tam Pyramid Challenge]

This was actually a good game! I am not someone who is into game shows like this. What I did like was how it was unpredictable. You really did not know what would show up next. It's best to just skip the instructions and learn it as you go. I thought that chick was a dude at first by the thumbnail.

While it isn't that well detailed, it's still good. I especially appreciate how easy it is to follow. It's probably not something I will be revisiting. I don't even normally watch real life game shows! I guess the "tam" is part of your name.

[Mad Truckers]

I found this to just be an okay game. What I thought was weird was how it was too mundane. I guess I thought you were supposed to destroy the other cars. That would have made it more fun. Wow, that brings back memories of "Twisted Metal II". The graphics weren't bad.

I thought it was pretty well designed. It's a bit hard to get into something like this. I want more explosions! I guess I need to learn to appreciate how fun mundane things can do. Well, I'm still occasionally killing people here.

[Don't Taze Me Bro!]

This is one of those games where I would want to see someone playing it. I would love to see just how you'd get all the way up to the top. Speaking of the word "top", topical games are always nice. Then again, this is old news by now. At least you made an unintentional time capsule with this. I think the music's a bit annoying.

Then again, I don't see how it can't be. I would have wanted a more creative game. I guess more graphical, what's wrong with me? I'm glad I never ran into any of that trouble. I probably wouldn't quite recommend it.

[Movie Stars Parodies]

I really did enjoy this game. I think it was probably because I know a lot about movies. I managed to get 39 on my first try. There were a lot of them that I did not recognize at all. I bet I did better than most people! I thought this was really fun to play.

It's always nice to get secret medals. While not well detailed, still a lot of fun. I even managed to get most of the actresses right. I think most people are familiar with the actors. There isn't much else for me to stay.

[Paperplane Madness 2]

I remember making paper airplanes in this one class. I remember absolutely nothing from it. I didn't care much for this game. I just thought it lacked detail. Another big factor was how it seemed too difficult. There really wasn't much going for it.

I believe I have played other paper airplane games. These kinds of styles were never popular. It's the same thing they do with that stupid bird thing. The music is alright. I can see why this isn't popular.

This game was more of a running experimentation as you could probably tell from how random every element is haha. Nothing in it makes sense.
I don't think it is at all difficult though. It's virtually the same mechanic as the classic helicopter game with some other shit chucked in there. It probably takes too long to learn though without getting bored or frustrated before you close the window. I can see that happening.
There was no intention for it to become popular. There is no story line, nor is there any point or real objective apart from finishing the levels. Created this as a way of learning the software but I guess I could have taken a more constructive approach and made something more worthwhile. It was fun though.

Cheers for the review bud, appreciate the time you took. Bit of a nostalgia trip to review this game? It's been a while.. i loved this website haha.

[Word Frenzy]

Ah yes, a good ol' edutatinment game. I really liked the music in this. It also confused me as to why it was used. I find this to be a fairly enjoyable game. It helps that I'm such a great typist. I also liked how you could choose either side. I do think it is probably too cutesy.

I imagine most games run into that problem. Being in my twenties, I'm a big too old for it. I would still recommend it. People can always test the limits of their spelling. If only something like this was in schools.

[Treasure of Cutlass Reef]

While not great, I still enjoyed this. I think I have learned to have more control in games like this. What really makes it worthwhile is seeing those little dots destroy everything. I thought that was really cool. They truly do look like ants. I was wondering what shot I even was in this.

There weren't helicopters in the classic age of pirates. There could have been music. The sound was still pretty well put together. For some reason, I thought this was named "Cutlass Island".

[Spinning Squares]

At first, this seemed to be a really cheap looking game. I was wonderfully surprised to find out how good it was! What made this was how complicated it was in its simplicity. It just seemed like a bunch of random images at first. I didn't even know how you could die. I liked all the little powerups. The sounds were pretty cool too.

It seemed almost like pinball noises at times. I don't know if that was intentional. It was great fun just to see this guy fly around. Who knew simple lines could bring up so much fun? It was overall a great game.

[- Heist -]

This game deserves credit because of how complicated it is. Then again, that might not be a good thing. I really did like how it was all arranged. It may have had too much going for it. It was still quite fun to play. I was amazed at how precise I had to get everything done. The graphics are pretty good.

It takes awhile to get used to everything. I'm glad you have the tutorial. I guess the best thief ever would be in a complicated world. It's hard to ask for more detail. I am glad you made this.

[Bike Challenge]

I did not like this. In terms of graphics, it wasn't that bad. Then again, there was really very little going on here. It was just you riding your bike. I can understand why a lot of others didn't like it. I'm not much of a fan of bike games to begin with.

I'd rather do it in real life. I guess the sounds weren't bad. With all the games out there, it's hard to see how this stands out. I'm glad I've never tried to bike over rocks like that. It is not a rewarding game.
