Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[10 is Again]

I'm not sure if I plyed the first one, but this is a very cool game. It's a pity the medals are quite difficult to get. What I found most noteworthy was how hard it could be in its simplicity. Those kinds of games are always impressive. I probably say that too much in my reviews. Hey, after making over 10,000, can you blame me for being repetitive?

I really liked how you really didn't know what would happen next. Not much else to say, as it is basically the same concept in each level. This is of course not to say that it's bad. It's just that it's the kind of game that speaks for itself. 10 is a pretty nice even number.

[Battalion Commander 2]

Glad to review the first game of the new year! I really did like this, mostly because of how well it flows. I just love fighting wave after wave and there are always new enemie to fight. While it does seem to go on forever, it does not really matter. I'm just glad to play such a fast paced game. The sounds and everything else are quite authentic.

It's another one of those addicting games, because you just want to keep on getting more medals and achievemets. As the game can last for a long time, you just want to keep on playing. I recall themes from the previous game. Of course, you always make good stuff. Happy new year!

[Amber Helix]

This game was pretty hard for me to understand. What was weird was how little ammo you could fire at one time. I'm just more used to space shooting games where you get more stuff to fire. I felt like I was just getting ganged up too much here. I guess the graphics were pretty good. The enemies were actually pretty creative.

A pity I could not get far in this. There are a lot of things you have to get through and type at when you've died once. It was too strange to be that enjoyable. I did think it was somewhat creative. It was just nothing I would recommend.

[Final Slam 2]

The best thing about this is how it's customizable. You get a very good sense of being able to create your own character. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a customization process this well detailed. The music and graphics are really good too. I named my character Buttfaced McGee. I just really like that name.

Granted, it is a bit hard to use the controls. I'm sure with enough practice, it will be fine. There is just such a sense of a lot of effort being put into this whole thing. I can see why it won Daily Feature. You don't see enough fighting games here.

[Mad Pac Rabios]

Pac-Man is such a popular game, it's wonderful how people are always finding ways to remix it. I admit that this is a lot harder than it looks. It's mostly because you can't see some of the red dots. Being hurt by running into the sides is even worse than numerous enemies. I really did like the graphics though. I think it is quite authentic to the original Pac-Man style.

I also really appreciate the music. It's quite a race against the clock here. You don't know when edges are going to point out. A pity you can't eat the ghosts. I don't think there's a pill in this game for that.

[James The Circus Zebra]

This is one of my favorite games in the series, if not my favorite. It seems like, by now, you did in fact simply run out of scenarios to put James in. I just love how cute this is. It's a real breeze once you get the hang of it. I like how you are allowed to get more oppurtunities with how there are more trampolines and stuff. It's simply a colorful layout.

Even the zebra seems colorful. I imagine the skulls are bad. The hardest part is probably having to time going onto the trapeze. It's weird, because half the time it seems to come by accident. The music's nice too.

[Viroidz]

I found this game to be just okay. I guess I was expecting something more educational. I do appreciate how it is a bit different than other games I've played. I think the best part is probably how simple it is. Then again, that can work against a game. I would have liked more variety.

It looked like everything was made of paper in contrast to cells. The sounds were pretty good. It is just that there is nothing too memorable about this. I still appreciate you trying to teach something. I've just played better.

[Apocalypse: Survive it]

I admit to being very confused by this. I could not understand how to get ahead. Thanks for the easy medal. I basically did nothing but wave the cursor around for awhile and that seemed to work out for me. I just left after becoming bored. A bit too late for zombies, eh?

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as I certainly did. You just need to have actual graphics in your games. It is quite unique at least. I'm not a fan of these kinds of text games. Then again, I'm not even sure if this was one of them.

Kolumbo responds:

Oh man, look, I am updating the game in about 30 minutes with a better tutorial.

[N-Dimensions]

That was a pretty strange game. I think it just struck me as weird because of how it was jus the same thing over and over. There really wasn't anything wrong with it. The sounds and everything else were pretty nicely done. The boss was pretty hard. It could have used more detail, though.

I must not know how to activate those powerups, because I didn't get the medals when I got them. I hope you had a merry Christmas! I really do like space shooting games. I guess it's just how straightforward they are. This was a fun game.

VascoF responds:

You have to press the X key to use one of the special power-ups.

Thanks, hope you had a Merry Christmas too!

[Newgrounds Holiday Worm]

Well, what can I say? I'm so glad to be reviewing this on Christmas and how it's Christmas related! Everyone did a fantastic job on this. I just loved seeing that little worm. I managed to get the two medals that I know how to get. I think this may have more credits and info than any other submission.

I counted 31. It reminds me of the Zoomquilt. I just like to learn about recursion. Why was that the one thing you never learned in math class when everything else was boring? Merry Christmas to all of you wonderful people!
