Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Click 'em Up! II]

I was pretty surprised at how fun this turned out to be. I think it works so well because the colors are so nice. I always appreciate that in a game or really anything. There were a lot of unique designs for everyone and everything. It was so easy to beat the boss. He was nothing compared to the rest of the whole game.

I'm thinking it may have been intentionally anticlimactic like that Pico chicken game. Of course, I haven't advanced to beat the other ones. I think kids would love this. It really can be stressful. Good thing it was frontpaged.

cobcris responds:

It's awesome for me to know that you enjoyed the game :) i hope kids can enjoy it too
thanks Ericho!

[#Escape: The Waiting Room]

While I'm not someone who's into point and click adventure games much, this really was pretty good. I think its greatest point was how easy it was to get secret medals. Yeah, expect me to say that. You'd think being the most prolific game reviewer, I could love all kinds of games. Unfortunately, I really do not. I still liked it.

Everything was done quite realistically. The drawings were very good. It was even funny to see the jokes with the medals you got. The music seemed to fit it quite well too. It was all around decent.

Aprime responds:

Glad you enjoyed my game mr prolific game reviewer.

Yeah, I tried to steer clear from arbitrary puzzles.
The medals were thought of spontaneously, but I'm happy they worked out well.

Thanks for the review!

[Link Chat Attack!]

I thought this was a good game. I thought you just had to press space once to advance. I should know by now that's just too simple. I think the graphics are actually quite good. While it may not make much sense, I still enjoyed it. The music was nice.

While not too memorable, I would recommend it. This vaguely reminded me of "Pac-Man". I thought it would have something to do with Link from Zelda. I mean, that's probably the most results you'll get from something like this. There was no real chatting either.

[Pico: Will It Slice?]

There must have been something wrong with my computer. For whatever reason, I was unable to fire at anyone. I couldn't help but just run around waiting to be killed. I don't understand how that works. I was able to get some shots in and at least one medal. I HAD to get one medal for this.

I don't know why this isn't under Pico Day. I guess because it was submitted too late? I found this game itself to be too routine. The graphics weren't good either. I love killing zombies, but not like this.

Strange, is your mouse working properly? Maybe try updating your Flash player or a different browser.

[Flashcub]

I actually liked this game. While it does suffer from being too simple in design, it was in fact pretty complicated. I should have know that more colors would be added. And I thought I had a high IQ. Anyway, this was pretty fun to just look at. I liked the sounds.

Yep, I lost it when over two colors came into play. At least I managed to get the first levels in a breeze. Wait, I don't even know if it's possible to lose on those. I thought the blocks would build up from the last level. I guess I'm glad they didn't.

[Vegas Invader]

I am sorry, but I did not like this game. Hey, another reference to September 11th! Anyway, I could not get into it, because it was too difficult. It annoyed me how you were killed by the enemy falling towards you. It didn't make any sense. Birds wouldn't explode anyway.

I don't think the graphics were all that great either. The sounds were a tad annoying. You do get some points for creativity. It was unique, but not enjoyable. I do like "Space Invaders".

[glowmonkey skateboarding]

This game was not that bad. I'm not quite sure if I would recommend it, maybe. It was interesting to figure out how to do your tricks. It's always nice to learn. While not too memorable, I do like seeing the glow monkey. I thought he was the mascot of some other website? No, I guess he's just in your games.

The bananas looked like yellow moons. I like how you were guided at first. Okay, I think I would recommend this. It's pretty cute. I especially like the sounds the monkey makes.

[Monsters The Game: Full]

This was a pretty mediocre game. I do think the graphics could have been better. I admit that it is a fairly original idea. Then again, it does vaguely remind me of "Pac-Man". I like how you can get the big picture. Unfortunately, it does move a bit slow.

I didn't find this all that addicting. Most people seem to think it's okay too. It was weird how it was hard to get some of the monsters to follow me. You normally wouldn't want that in a game. The sounds were alright.

[Avenue of Death]

I did not like this game that much. It wasn't so much that it was hard (well, it was), but that the graphics looked pretty shoddy. A lot of the time everything just looked too narrow. I wish there could have been a better understanding of what was going on. I did like how you could learn from it.

It certainly got frustrating to figure out how to jump over that snake. I finally got it at least! It's just something I am not into and don't want to recommend. It can get too annoying. You could work harder next time.

[Kindergarten]

I guess I would probably recommend this game, because there's nothing too bad about it. I don't like it how it's just the same thing over and over. In terms of job games, it did seem not as good as the ones where you make a pizza or something. Those are just more complicated and more fun. I think the graphics could be better. Everything looks a bit too fake.

Granted, more realism would probably be scary in a game like this. It is interesting to learn about child care. Yeah, I guess some people could call this an educational game. I know it has good intentions. Not that good, but decent.
