Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flash Strike! (V1.3)]

I have to praise you for having decent graphics. At the same time, I just didn't think this held up on numerous levels. I didn't like it how it was just the same place over and over. A lot of the effects even looked a bit too cartoonish, even if it was overall good. I appreciate how popular this has become. I always try to acknowledge that, even in something I don't like.

The music is fairly decent. I've never cared much for the Call Of Duty games in the first place. I've become familiar with them due to how popular they are. At least it wasn't too hard for me. It was a good idea to have modes.

[Armada Assault]

I really did not care for this. It seems like this idea has just been done too many times before and much better. I couldn't find any weapons that really suited me. I imagine I was supposed to blow stuff up at one point, but the weapons were just too awkward. I was thinking that maybe people are just better gamers in this sense. It didn't seem to have much of a story.

The graphics are in fact quite good. There are some fairly interesting designs. It's just that I don't care for the controls. It seems a bit too complicated for me to even care about it. I just I'm just so used to playing "RaidenX".

[Gravity Pong : Game]

This game's biggest flaw was how simple it was. Besides that, it was a bit hard to find anything that was really THAT bad. I think the best thing about this is how you don't have to learn a lot of hard instructions. It's weird, because simplicity can be both good and bad for something at the same time. The music was alright.

It was a bit hard to really be interested in it. It wasn't that well detailed or anything. I do get the notion that it probably wasn't supposed to be that elaborate. I think you need to work with shading and I don't know if there are differences between the balls. It just got too repetetive.

[Adventures of Buttlock]

You deserve credit for making a game that's fairly unique. Then again, it did seem pretty similar to "Barbarian Bob". A good thing I like this game more than that. I really like how you don't have to guard against everything. I was pretty confused on how to beat the boss. His weakness is bombs, but that's what he hurts me with!

I thought maybe I had to hit the bombs against him, but it didn't work out. At least you have some decent graphics. I admit they don't seem that appropriate for a game, but that's okay. I think it's a nice setting too. For the most part, it's quite playable.

[Barbarian Bob]

Okay, I am so glad you gave the advice of always blocking. I had about as much health as my enemies. In fact, it seems like they took about the same amount of damage at the same time as well. With that being said, this wasn't too fun for me. I just had to keep on guarding and there were no powerups. I will say that it's a good atmosphere.

The songs are nice and the sound effects work well. It's a fairly interesting environment that you have created. Anything with "Bob" in the name is cool. You're really going to need to work hard on this. Maybe next time.

[Cursor Thief: Amped]

Well, it seems a lot like the previous entries, but it's still decent. I'm surprised that these are all made by different authors. You probably could have put more design in this, with graphics, shading, etc. Of course, this was most likely not the point. I didn't know what was going on in this with the red things. I assume it was some way to get points?

I didn't know how I could even win in this. Am I supposed to pick him up in some way? I think the red bubbles that fall might weaken him, but I still haven't gotten any points. You should also put in music of some kind. I think the "Amped" name is cute.

[Dragon Fist 2]

Well, this game was certainly playable, but it wasn't that good. I think it's mostly because the graphics just look so shoddy. So many things just don't age well. The sounds were also kind of minimalist. Still, I have to give you credit for having a game that's pretty easy to understand. It's interesting to find out the different kind of moves you can come up with.

It's great to see something you can make on your own. Again, you need to work with shading and there should be music. It's really too basic of a game to be recommendable. Basic things can work, but not like this. I do see potential for this.

[Hired Heroes Offense]

While not a great game, this was definitley playable. I was amazed at how easy it was for me to lose. You really have to do nothing bu put up more soldiers for this. The music is extremely suiting. I really do like the graphics. On the second level, I manage to get the enemy down to just one hit to kill it, but I still lose!

At first, I was thinking this game went too slowly. Now, I think it goes too fast. You know how to create some good tension. There seems to be something wrong with my keyboard now. I like all the unique designs.

[Flash Halo: CTF]

I am someone who is at least somewhat familiar with the game. Of course, with literally thousands of reviews, it would make sense I'd know about it. This makes me imagine what an older version of this game would be. A pity many games are brand new and never had that happen to them. That being said, it's great to see fan versions of this being made. It does have its flaws, like how it's a bit too simple.

I also didn't know how to get out of the jeep. I couldn't even used my gun there well, but I did a good job of stomping my enemies out. The sprite work is done very nicely here. I appreciate you making a tribute to such a popular game. It probably could have used some music, too.

[Miniclip Rally]

I am not one for racing games, but this turned out to be really cool! I guess it's mostly because it's cool to see you race against yourself. It's neat to be reminded of all the past games I've played with you guys. You know how to use creativity. I notice that it doesn't let you cheat. If you take a shortcut somewhere, even if it slows you down, you'll have to go back and do it the right way.

The music was also really stylistic in this. I could tell you were trying to appeal to all the previous games. It's stuff that this that makes me wish you guys would release stuff here. The graphics are really good too. It's one of your most fun games.
