Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jumping Long]

I found this to be a pretty good game. I was quite turned off by the artwork. It just wasn't impressive at all for me. I think the gameplay is actually fairly well done. I do like how it is fairly easy to advance and break your previous records, albeit not by much. The medals and achievements were nice touches.

This guy looks really oriental on the thumb nail. Maybe it would have been more suited for being around the Olympics. It was nice to hear the cheering. I wasn't quite sure if I had to press space at first. It's a decent layout.

[Lumber John]

This was a game that I ws surprisingly able to get into. I just like the idea of having an axe to kill enemies with. Besides that, the graphics were really good. You rarely play good games with this resolution. You really did manage to give it a unique feel. I appreciated that.

Sometimes it gets strenuous, but all the more reason to get better at it! I like how random the enemies are. You really did have a large environment even though the screen was fairly small. It looked quaint that well. Glad it got front page if nothing else.

[Railroad Ruckus]

I'm with most people in saying that this is a good game, but not a great game. It probably could use some better design. It actually does work well with what it has. I was a bit confused as to how to play it at first. I thought you had to change the white tabs to make the trains stop and go. You instead had to...well, you know.

It was kind of funny seeing the dots die. Sometimes, it was easy and they just came on at the same time. It really was pretty original. I do look for games with more going on, but it's nice to have an easier game at first. The music was pretty good too.

[The Missile Game 3D HS]

I found this to be a good game. What I did not understand was how the music went out after awhile. That seemed like a pretty cheap effect. I am in fact glad that this game was made. I didn't even need the map on the lower left at first. Needless to say, that did help me.

While not that inventive, still quite enjoyable. It's nice to see these carved out symbols. I liked to see the stratches that identified the parts you were not supposed to go through. Then again, you could have just noticed they were opaque. Not quite 3D, but still nice.

[Rodman vs Kim: One on One]

I am pretty bad at basketball in real life, so I also turned out to be pretty bad at it in a video game too. I really liked the simplisic graphics. I came up with a prety good strategy. You mostly just have to outrun him. You see, he really is a lot shorter (duh), so you have that advantage. Kim Jong Il was a fan of basketball too.

Let's hope this guy doesn't kidnap a movie director like he did. Or worse, kidnap a basketball player. It wasn't that well detailed, but that was not the point. The sounds were pretty good. I'm glad to know the politics behind all this.

I'm glad that you liked it!

[Pointer]

I was surprised that I liked this more than I thought I would. I think the best part is probably how it's so unpredictable. That being said, there was one thing that really weighed this down. That was the fact that there was no music or sounds. I imagine it was just part of the game and not just something wrong with the game. For the millionth time, I like how games can be fun even though they are simple.

Some of the stuff actually is quite complicated. I appreciated the little timer. It was nice to see how everything turned out. On one level, I died at the beginning and then at the end the second time I played it! I didn't care that the pointer wasn't shown on screen.

[Battlefield General]

I was quite impressed by this game. I think the best part of it was probably how fun it was just to see those guys move. They really were quite fast. I didn't even need to turn the speed up that much. It was nice to have such a wide open space. Then again, that did make it harder to reach your target.

Some of the controls seemed off, but they mostly worked well. I like just seeing them fight. It has the feel of a standard defense game, but is still different. The title could be a tad less generic, though. Ah, I'm just being nitpicky.

[Rockocroco]

I thought this was a good game. What I liked was how cute it was. The music was very nice too. You just got to see so many cute things. It did get more interesting as it went on. Sadly, it wasn't good enough to be something I would play again. It does have a very nice layout.

With a title like this, you have to play this game. I don't know why a crocodile is on a balloon. They have some of the weirdest things at the circus, I guess. Crocodiles don't eat fruit. Well, maybe some, but not generally.

[Stupid Cupid]

There's a Looney Tunes cartoon with the same name. It was in fact better than this. Like most people, I found this to be quite mediocre. It just doesn't have anything that good or bad in it. The graphics aren't bad, just not that well detailed. I have seen a lot better work. I do think it's kind of funny to see flying butts everywhere.

The music was just okay. It is kind of nice to play a Cupid themed game. There should be a background. You did get better as you played it more. Then again, that's how all games are.

[Odd Bods]

I found this to be a pretty good game. Its biggest weakness was that, well, there wasn't that much to it. It was kind of funny to see all these designs. One of them reminded me of a human centipede. No, not that kind, thankfully. It seems to have all the qualities of a decent game.

It is kind of unpredictable on what bods will show up next. While not that memorable, probably worth a look. The sounds are pretty funny. I like most of what I see. You could probably have a background of some kind.
