Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[Cody's Nightmare Vacation]

I admit that I am not really a fan of these kinds of games. I was hoping to play something Thanksgiving related. A pity it isn't that popular here. What I really like is how good the artwork is. The game itself can be bland, but it really is layed out in a nice way. It's fun to listen to that music as well.

It's rare you play a slice of life game. It's neat to know that you can do things without supernatural stuff. It really always shows up nowadays. I couldn't get a single medal though. At least they're aren't that many.

[Wasp Survival]

I admit that the premise was a bit unique, but it wasn't quite that rewarding. I think its biggest fault was how it just the same thing over and over. I prefer more variety. I think it's pretty much miss and hit with the artwork. There really are a lot of these guys flying around. It is kind of noteworthy how the wasp is so much more realistic than them.

I think there could have been more in terms of backgrounds. At least it was fairly easy to understand. Holding the stinger in place is the best way to do it. I imagine most people think the same thing. There could have also been music.

[Mountain Frog]

Well, I think it had a pretty good layout, but it was hard to recommend. It's just a frog collecting flies. He's not even in a swamp or anything. It's not something that comes off as that enjoyable. I guess it is fairly unique. The resolution seems to be way off.

The music isn't bad. I like how you can go to the bottom of the screen. I guess it's nice you did something with your friend. I hope you had more fun than most of us did. It's fairly mediocre.

[Snow Ball Joe]

I found this to be a pretty good game. It helps that I'm in the mood with the time period. It mostly works because of how simple it is. While it probably could have been more detailed, I still liked it for what it was. It had pretty good music too. I imagine any winter themed game this time of the year will be connected to Christmas some way.

Joe is a pretty cool name. I love those sunglasses. You really don't know what is going to show up next. You probably could have had some better graphics. While not great, still pretty decent.
