Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Barcode Bedlam]

I have to admit that this is in fact an original game. It just wasn't that appealing to me. I still appreciated it for what it truly was. I had no idea barcodes could be so complicated. Well, I guess the are by their very nature. The sounds were pretty good.

It came off as too easy at first. It really did get harder when you had them flash around like that. It is quite playable. I do wish that it was more detailed, something I always look for in a game. This was pretty good.

[Wings Of Glory]

I couldn't quite get into this. I think the biggest problem was how it was just the same stuff over and over. I would have liked it more if it went for more than one screen. The enemies didn't have much variety. I still like how the graphics are pretty good. It does look pretty authentic for a war game.

I guess I was just looking for a standard air shooting game. That being said, I did like the maneuvers you could perform. That was fairly unique. It just isn't something I'd look at again. The sounds are quite authentic too.

I am quite surprised that this does not have a higher rating. I love games where you create your own stuff. I think the main reason I'm so interested in this is because I just saw "The Lego Movie" yesterday. DANG, THAT IS GOOD! Anyway, I love the message of being creative. While some of it is off, I still love it.

You truly give us a wide variety of options. I like all the different shapes. Even seeing them laid out like that is impressive. The music and sounds were quite good too. You really can't go wrong with a customizable game like this.

thanks Ericho!

While not the most memorable game, certainly worth checking out. I haven't even played any of the Bomberman games. Then again, I don't know if this is a direct reference to them. It's another one of those games that works so well because of how nicely it's paced. I admit that the CGI could be better, but still good. People just like explosions.

With a premise like this, it's hard to go wrong. Congrats on winning a Daily Feature with an older game. Yeah, just one year, but you'd be surprised. I like games that are so easy to understand. I was surprised the controls were stuff like "P" and "Enter" and not just spacebar.

[Rebounce]

It's hard to like this that much. I have played some basketball in real life. I didn't enjoy it that much, but it wasn't bad. I guess I have the same thing to say for this. I was confused as to why you had some bounces labeled. I didn't get any points for them unless I made the shot.

I guess there's nothing really wrong with it. It should please basketball fans. I think it's a bit hard to go through the hoop without bouncing all over the place. Then again, that was the point. I can figure that stuff out.

[Ragdoll Ninja]

I admit that I was quite frustrated by this game. I still can't say I didn't enjoy it, because I truly did! It was amazing to see all these guys being sliced up. I'm glad the guys falling upward didn't count as a missed strike. It was great to see how much I could do with it. The worst parts were easily the purple bombs.

I thought the music was really sweet too. There's just a good sense of wanting to do better in this. The headshots are harder than you think. It was weird how the medals were arranged. I appreciated all of this.

[Horse Jump]

I admit that it does have a pretty original concept. Personally, I couldn't get that much into it. It seemed too easy at first. When it did get harder, it didn't come off as enjoyable. I think I probably wouldn't recommend It, but it's not that bad. I appreciate how unique it is.

There isn't really any need to make it more detailed, as it does not need to be. It works okay for what it is. The sounds are fairly good. It can be hard to figure out the mechanics. If you're into different kinds of things, I would recommend this.

[Bungee Rescue]

This was quite an impressive game! I kind of forgot about you guys because you aren't making much stuff nowadays, but this is really good! It took me a little while to understand the controls. Bungee jumping is just cool. Made even better when you're actually saving people's lives with it! I just thought this was nicely done.

You really had to work with your timing on this. I like how it's slower when you lift cows. The music is quite enthuastic. I love how the seagull flies into the camera. There are just a lot of little nice things going on here.

[Ragdoll Avoider]

I found this to be a pretty typical game. I just don't think it's that original. That being said, there's really nothing WRONG with it. It's just too typical. I guess I appreciate how there are different versions of it. It just seems to be standard stick stuff.

I look for more unique games. I guess the overall design wasn't bad. I have just played ragdoll games that were better than this. I admit it is a tad unique. It's just nothing I'd look at again.

[Mobs Down]

This was a pretty entertaining bad game. It looked like some cheap Grand Theft Auto ripoff. It is fairly nice to see CGI here. It just comes off as too silly to take seriously. It's a harder game than you think. You do have some nice mobility, though.

Kick, punch, it's all in the mind! Seriously, I was just watching a video of QI before playing this. It does get pretty redundant. It's still fairly enjoyable. I just liked how silly it looked.
