Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Armor Games Collection]

I did not care much for this. I think its biggest fault was how you the games themselves were a bit too complicated. Not to sound whiny, but a collection like this should probably have more simple games. I didn't think the graphics in all of them were that good. At least they were unique.

Everything just seemed too ambiguous. I like you guys' other stuff. Funny how something with Armor Games in the title wouldn't be under the Credits & Info. Dang, they're everywhere, aren't they? It's pretty organized, I'll give you that.

[Osiris]

Sorry, but this didn't work out well for me at all. I think its main problem was that it just went too fast. I couldn't get the feeling of being able to slow down. There was too much going on. I do appreciate how it seems to be authentic to the Tomb Raider games. It's pretty easy to tell this was inspired by them.

The graphics weren't that good at all. Everything seemed way too old. It was at least somewhat motivating to see what would show up next. It has a pretty cool name. The mechanics are too silly to take that seriously.

[Earth Taken]

This is a good game. What I like most about it was how good the designs are. It was fun to see those aliens get shot and stuff. My only complaint was that there seems to be some glitch. I can't stop firing. That really annoys me because I just keep on firing until I run out of ammo! It might just be something with my computer.

I appreciate all the good stuff. I like how there are inventive ways to kill the aliens. They seem to have big foreheads like the Martians from DC Comics. I like how you list all the instructions. Yes, I got some medals.

Thanks! Glad you liked it :) ...the thing you mentioned about the fact that sometimes you can't stop firing is something I can't do anything about on my end. It's not the game. It might have something to do with your browser, flash player or your computer or something else entirely. What happens is that Flash player doesn't realize you have let got of the fire button so it just keeps shooting. I'm not sure if this is a problem with Flash player itself or if it has something to do with the processing power of your computer and the amount of programs like games, internet browsers etc running on your computer at the same time.

[Imminent]

I found this to be a good game. What I didn't like it was how the graphics weren't that good. There could have been more variety. It's pretty nice to see how you just keep on firing. I love the way the bloodstains stay on the screen. That is truly fun and unique!

There's just a lot going on here. I like how fast paced it is. The stylistic music helps give that vision. Even the title is cool. While I don't have that much to say about this, it's worth checking out.

[Nightmare House]

I never noticed this. You submitted this on 666! I hope that was intentional, if not, then you're really lucky. I like the creepy atmosphere presented here. It's rare you see a remake of an older game, especially one you made yourself. I like how you have a good sense of direction too.

There are a wide variety of things going on here. I don't know how the marijuana is going to help. I would imagine that would probably just make you hallucinate, which is similar to dreaming. I liked the graphics. It looks a tad dated, but still good.

[JUR 2 Episode 3]

I quite enjoyed this game. Its true that you should never judg a book by its cover. I was afraid ths was just going to be too bland, but it ended up being really cool. Like many great games, the sheer unpredictability of it makes it fun. My only complaint is that it takes a bit too long to restart a level. I like the music too.

It's just great to have this large screen which gives you so much freedom. You truly get a sense of being able to move around. I'm glad it's not just the same obstacles over and over. Variety is always good. I didn't play the previous episodes.

[Cyber Chaser]

Yet another great game from you! It's just fun to see what you'll do next. It's kind of strange, because I didn't understand it at first. It was weird to have a game where you just stayed in the same place and kept firing. Of course, that made it a tad easier. The music is also wonderfully done.

Is it just me or are the credits and info getting shorter? I can still recognize this style. This at least managed to win some kind of positive award. The music sounds better the more you listen to it. I'd like to play more games done with your graphics style.

Thanks for comment!

[Sift Heads Cartels Act 2]

This should have a higher rating. What I really found enjoyable about this was how good the atmosphere was. You do know how to make stick figures attractive. Well, the creator of Dick Figures wasn't too bad with that either. Everything just comes off as so real here. The drawings are all wonderfully done.

I like how there are so many little things going on. One example is how when you put your mouse over a button, red sparks come out. There's fine detail all around. You are such a talented game creator. I didn't even recognize this as a point and click adventure at first.

[exposure]

This was a truly unique game. I really liked the music. I thought it wouldn't be that good because I'm normally not that good at these kinds of games. It really did give you a nice open space to explore. At the same time, it wasn't a game that just went on forever. You had a good understanding of your surroundings. I liked the graphics too.

I liked how well you showed the perspective in this. I had a feeling I couldn't go beyond the statue. It was a bit hard to tell exactly how to pick things up, but I got better with it. I like how you leave footprints. This is really an original concept.
