Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thunderax 9K]

I thought this game was freaking fantastic! What I love most about it is how good the enemy designs are. There really are some freaking gorgeous things to see here! I especially love how they gradually go on fire as they are being defeated. It reminds me of "RaidenX". I don't mean to compare it to one of my favorite games.

You really have no idea what enemies are going to come up next. I loved seeing all this uniqueness. The third level didn't seem to have a boss. I knew the boss on the fourth level had those things protecting him. I love how the enemies just slither around. It's an underappreciated masterpiece.

[BR's Rocket Rush]

WOW! I was in no way expecting a game with such action in it! I just appreciate how this is so different from the other games. You guys really do have a lot of different kinds of games out there, huh? The control could have been better, but it's simply an awesome game. It helps that it's so straightforward.

I liked seeing explosions in such a cute little game. Luckily, there's no blood or gore. I love how you start back up immediately after losing. Then again, I'm not sure if it's on the same level. Most of it looks the same.

[Rebel Noel 1]

I found this to be a pretty good game. I admit that the premise was fairly unique. I did, however, not care that much for how repetitive it was. It was still pretty interesting, as you had no idea what was going to show up next. A cartoonish Santa is a pretty funny image. Of course, it's not funny for the elf here.

Again, a fat guy who goes into chimneys probably would be mobile. It did seem a tad too easy, though. It took me awhile to get used to the stuff in front of you. I couldn't tell which items caused Santa more damage. I wish you a merry Christmas this year too!

[Aquacubes]

I was really impressed by this! I normally wouldn't care much for a game like this, because it doesn't really have that much going on. Probably the only reason I liked it so much is because I managed to get far without even trying. Well, I did try, I just suceeded in places I did not know. It was so hard to find something, but combos came on so frequently. I guess the designs weren't much.

It still didn't matter, because this is a great game. I can see why it has so many views. I really like the music here. You wouldn't expect something that good from a game like this. I don't understand what the title means. Oh yeah, I barely noticed the water.

[Dragon Fist 3]

I found this to be a pretty good game. Dang, watching "Fight Club" forever changed my view on fighting. Good thing I know the computer isn't part of my imagination. Anyway, I thought this was weighed down by the graphics. They could have been better. I still appreciate this for being a good playthrough game.

Come to think of it, I seem to see view fighting games here that have graphics that are that good. I suppose on flash sites, we might not call it graphics. I liked how I had good mobility. This isn't in a single collection? It's certainly noteworthy to be featured.

[Santa Fartypants]

I always like the notion of "farty pants". I guess it might not be what I'm really thinking of, but they're still funny. I had a bit of a lack of control, with the, uh, CTRL button, how ironic. I notice that that button's rarely used in games here or really anywhere else. I appreciate the decent graphics. From the intro, I had no idea farts would be involved.

I really don't want to know if brussel sprouts give you gas. He's Santa, he's magic, that's all. I really did have fun with the mobility. You can get around better than you would imagine. The snowmen don't bug you that much.

[Santa's Deed]

I found this to be a decent game. What I think could have made it better was making it easier to see the monsters coming after you. They just came on way too quickly. I was interested in how I had to exactly hit the chimney. I guess that makes sense. I just assume video games to be easier.

I was quite impressed by how good the graphics were. You rarely see CGI here. It still isn't great, but pretty nice. It was more complicated than you would think. I'm glad Thanksgiving's over, so I can truly enjoy this!

[Candy Cane Crisis]

I love this game. I think it's mostly because you just don't in any way try to hide the fact that it's a Mario ripoff. At least it wasn't completely one, like "Enough Plumbers". Okay, that is a great game, BTW. I never knew Santa could be so agile. Of course, being able to go to all those houses in one night, he must be.

I don't know why you used the fireball sound when you get a candy cane. The part with the sleigh was pretty hard at first. I'm not even quite sure myself what I did differently to advance. The sprite work is quite good. You should see stuff like this more.

[Down The Chimeny!]

Is "Chimeny" how it's pronounced in the UK? I just assume all alternate spellings are from there. It is where the English language came from, after all! I really like how simple it is. Unfortunately, it can be a bit unrewarding. I don't see why these giant meatballs are supposed to be gifts. It is a unique design at least.

It seems a bit too slow, so it is good when you speed it up. A pity one hit kills you. You really have to get close to them, which is dangerous. Timing is everything here. I know this sounds kind fo weird, but Happy Thanksgiving!

Skeik responds:

This was back before I cared to check the spelling of my games haha. I'm honestly surprised you found this game at all, seeing how it's 7 years old!

I get what you mean about it being unrewarding, I had a lot of ideas I didn't really know how to implement. Thanks for playing and reviewing though, I've noticed you reviewing a lot of my games lately.

[Osiris II]

For the most part, the good outweighed the bad. I will say that the worst thing was probably how the graphics weren't that good. I imagine any tomb related game starring a female will be compared to "Tomb Raider". Of course, this girl isn't as hot. I think the enemies are nicely designed. I like how you can switch weapons and have a decent amount of ammo.

Unfortunately, the gameplay isn't anything that unique. It did had some pretty interesting stuff going on, so I'll give this a pass. The sounds weren't bad either. It's pretty nice to be able to be able to move around well. You do go a bit too fast at times.
