Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Defense: Last Stand]

I found this to be a pretty good game. Its main fault is that the graphics aren't that good. While it might not be something I would recommend, it's not bad. I think it is somewhat creative with how the defenses are built. It was weird to be able to control two towers at the same time, not that it really helped me. I find it weird an entire blast would be needed to kill one guy.

Again, you could have had some better designs. Happy Halloween, I guess? War could be scary in some way. The music is quite triumphant. Then again, all war music is like that.

[-PURSUIT-]

I really was pretty impressed by this. I think it's mostly because you have this game in such high spirits. I appreciate all the good voicework and everything else. It may not be too rewarding, but it's nice. Everything just seems so realistic. These really are the kinds of things you would find around your house. Some games can be weird like that.

I really could get some sympathy for the main character here. While not a classic, definitley great in terms of point and click adventure games. I can see why this won those awards. I am glad it is still popular. It's not in a single collection?

[SpaceWars]

For the most part, this was a good game. It seemed like it was too easy at first. As weird as this may sound, I really liked when it got harder. A pity I forgot to use the space button. I was actually quite impressed by the music used in this. My only complaint was that it could have been more detailed.

When you get right down to it, it truly is a unique game. While not that memorable, definitley worth checking out. A pity it isn't that popular. The title could be a little less generic. The enemies could have some more variety too.

[Golf Gobins- Halloween]

Dang, I must be missing something with this. I appreciated the fairly good graphics and the music, but I could not play this. I swung at the ball every way I could, but nothing ever happened. The sounds are fairly nice. A pity I'm a little past Halloween now. At least it's not like 98.5, where it plays Christmas music right now! The colors are fairly well done.

I'm not a person who's into golf in real life. I guess I'm more of a minature golf guy. I can kind of tell this was made in a short time frame. It's still probably a good game. I'm sorry, I don't know how to advance.

[Alien Splatter]

I admit that this game wasn't quite as good as I thought it would be. It just has a very cool layout. I think I'm going to the next stage at least when I'm at the end of the screen and start something new. I did like how fast paced it was. These are what a lot of classic arcade games were like. The enemies don't seem that alien to me.

They seem more robotic. I think the graphics are done pretty well. You really have to learn how to duck. It's nice to have some pretty good variety in how the enemies look. All in all, definitley a good game.

SinclairStrange responds:

I made it pretty quick, the main bulk was done in five days while I spent an extra day making an extra level when I waiting for Halloween to die down. Given more time and more resources I would of made it more rich with enemy designs and weapon pick ups.

Thanks for the review, it's just a little hard to make "alien" sprites with such a limited palette and size annoyingly :P

[DOTMAN]

While I was not that eager to play this game, it got a lot better when I got used to it! I know there's some kind of glitch in the system. The balls can't hurt me and I can't get any medals beyond the first one. I still found this quite fun. I was able to get pretty far even when going on the same platform. A pity the boss still took me out pretty easily.

The best thing is how much mobility you have. You really are allowed to move a lot. I wish everything worked out better in terms of how the game works for me. I'm glad to have played this. Everything is just so slick.

[Bitzy Blitz]

I just loved this game! I am so glad that I was introduced to something so awesome! I had no idea what turn it was going to take. It's always cool to be unpredictable. I think the best part was probably the graphics. Nothing seemed to make much sense, but you just didn't care at all.

It's just THAT good of a game. I like how the little horse trots around. The music is very triumphant. Some of the planes just seem to fly into the ground and blow up. Either way, you get the crystals! You have made something truly unique!

[Asslevania: SOTB]

Wow, I was quite impressed by this. The only things I did not like was how it seemed impossible to dodge those things that crunched down on you. You know what I'm talking about. I'm proud to earn my first medals using the new format on this website! The intro was pretty dang funny. The sounds are really cool too.

It's great to have so many talented people work on this. I think it all fit wonderfully. The triple jump is probably the best part. I appreciate how creative it is. The green guys look like Creepers. Given how popular they are, that was most likely the intention.

[Boxhead]

As the first in the series, it's easy to see that this is the least. Of course, that all means it's still pretty dang good. The biggest strength here is shooting those zombies. They would get a lot more variety later. I wish there was some area I could send the civilians to. Instead, you have to just keep on going around.

The notion of having to protect something (besides yourself) does weigh it down. It's still pretty nice to have freedom of movement. The graphics look a tad dated, especially when compared to your new stuff. I hope you had a great Halloween as I did. The sounds are consistently good.
