Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Spirit of Truth SB]

Ah, very funny

It was cool how "The Spirit Of Truth" guy was featured in an episode of "Tosh.0" and recently confirmed as a meme. It is really cool how you get pretty much everything he ever said. I just so wish that someone would make prank calls out of this and submit it here to Newgrounds. I mean the responses are pretty much done to phone calls to start with! The weird thing is that this guy is still probably the least fanatical TV evangelist out there. I just liked seeing everything be arranged so neatly.

[Murder Gangster Rakoon]

Where's the racoon?

This was an okay game, probably because it was extremely silly but did not work that well with its silliness. It was still nice to shoot that guy over and over. I thought it was weird how a racoon was featured on the title and intro when there was no racoon in this. I wish there was some way to form a counter against shooting him when he slaps you. At least the game is overall nice and simple. It also has a nice number of songs to play, but I am glad to work on something made by a user as strong as YoinK.

[Mecha Dress Up Game]

I have to give you credit

Everytime you see something popular on Newgrounds with the words "Dress Up" in it, you can almost guarantee it is going to be something dirty. This, however, was a very pleasant surprise. It was definitley the best non-pornographic dress-up game I ever played. There were just so many designs and things to come up with. I am so glad you had in those awesome pokemon themes when some people are ashamed to like that on the Internet. I love the backgrounds, the randomizer, the Easter Eggs, everything!

[BLockoban 88]

Good and difficult

I was really impressed by this game, it is just that my biggest complaint is that it is so hard to do. I admit that this was a pretty original thing to play and I especially liked the good graphics and all. Dang if I can get any further than the first level. The music is certainly nice and it altogether creates a pretty pleasant atmosphere. So nice of you to simply include the cheat for the BONUSLEVEL thing, although other games have walkthroughs, so I guess it might not be cheating technically. The background is good too.

[Dino Run]

One of our most famous

I can understand why this has so much significance on the website. Ever since I was a kid, I was always fascinated with dinosaurs and I think few people have made dinosaur themed games. The great thing about this is that the entire gameplay is just so free. You get a lot of oppurtunities to move ahead in the game. In case someone has not done it before, you do not eat the pterdactyls, you allow them to carry you away. It created a great sense of action with all the falling chuncks of meteor and stuff.

[Automaton prt2]

Good for a point and click adventure game

While I am not the biggest fan of these kinds of things, this was still a decent work. The one thing that really stuck with me was how good the graphics were. I kept thinking this was going to be a cartoon because of the title or something. Overall, it was fun to just look at especially given how the characters were well designed. It also creates a very fitting atmosphere with all the shades and stuff. There are certainly a fair amount of unexpected twist and turns along the way throughout.

[Journeys of Reemus]

Quite colorful

I think this was not as enjoyable as some other chapters, probably because it was fairly hard. The most appealing thing here is how good the animation and/or graphics are. I enjoy watching that little blue guy walk around and talk. I have to admit that it is extremley creative, especially with the crazy environments. I have no clue why giant tongues are going around licking sap from giant flowers. What matters is that you really showed off your creativity and made it fun for fans of these kinds of games.

[The Last Stand 2]

It's a zombie game!

I thought it was weird how ArmorGames was not billed as a sponsor, as this is one of the most popular games on their website. It is great to see such an instant classic here too. The main strong point is that the gameplay is just so original with all the angles. I was expecting it to be taken from an aerial point of view. You really need to learn to move around so you can get good shots at the zombie's heads, as they will die a lot faster if you target those. It might also be the first zombie game where I got some help along the way.

[Puzzle De Pon Soundboard]

PowerPoint?

I have to admit that for something that used PowerPoint this was actually pretty good. It is a bit difficult because I know little about the material you are using. It is fun just to see a completely different layout like this one with the cartoon that goes and stops and is a soundboard in the middle. I believe these are all Japanese voices as I could not understand them. There is a very colorful layout here, and I really like how each sound has a neat picture with it. I suggest next time you probably should use a different program.

ScotG responds:

Well it is from Japan like all the NeoGeo games. The voices sounded pretty clear to me. Some were spoken in English, and others were in EngRish like "We have a win!" and "magnificat" (guess they forgot Cs are soft before Es).

[Pico's Day in Court]

Fairly good

It was interesting to have a "Phoenix Wright" style thing but made in a different style. The graphics were not as good as the standard "Phoenix Wright" tributes. I still had some fun with this, because it was different for a Pico flash. I guess I am just so used to seeing him shooting things up, it is weird to show him at a court case. I am not the biggest fan of things like this. There was of course a decent amount of effort put in, especially with all the different songs that were used and when they were used.
