Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tankmen 2: The Chase]

Those tankmen

This was fairly fun to play, mostly because the sounds were really good. I was kind of ticked of that I thought you would get that medal if you got to 4,100 feet, but it was actually ten times that much! It just seems like there is not that much going on to even spark your interest for that long. I think the strongest point was probably the sound. Yep, I am a big fan of "Back To The Future" as well. I loved the clanky sound it made when you got to hit the other tank and how well the animation was done.

[Newgrounds HQ Showdown]

Never had easier medals

The weakest part of this game is that it is in fact pretty short and simple. It is definitley strange to have nearly every medal be a secret one when all you have to do is advance to the next level to get it! It was interesting to see those animals, especially the badgers. The anti-climax was also really funny. The animation is good as it has a unique style, though I wondered why there were all those things you could just phase through. All in all, thank you for giving us the easiest to get secret medals of all time!

[Toe Nail Wheel]

Very original!

The whole thing was weird, because at first I was shooting the brain, but then I thought it was the wrong thing to do. It turns out I was actually right, and I was supposed to shoot it after all! I was quite impressed at how the toe thing was so random but worked really well. It is hard to find a theme because all of the creature designs are so unique. I had fun just jumping around trying to avoid the enemies while shooting at the brain. It was pretty hard, but the originality really makes it playable.

[Crazy Craft]

Not bad at all

I admit that this is not as good as the trailer for it, but still pretty enjoyable. I guess I am just a little impatient, because it takes so long for me to finish the levels and it is not easy to keep being interested all the time. It is still nice overall, especially the graphics. I am really glad that I was told of "Give Up" button at the bottom of the screen. You really have to earn the more things you get and it is not as casual as you would think. The music was also pretty nice and it seemed to fit the mood of the game well.

[IQ Ball]

I know that guy!

It was so cool how you used the purple guy who was in the KingDotCom sponsor icon! This was so easy for the first two levels but the third was simply unbeatable. I have to give you guys credit for creating something that has such cuteness to it. I love the goofy little sound the blob makes when it grabs things. It is a fairly simple game, so there is not much else to say about it except it can get very frustrating. It was so nice of you guys to include the walkthrough throughout, of course.

[Polar Bear Payback]

It works!

I have to praise this because of not just the graphics being good, but for being dang creative. I love how you guys addressed a topic like this and especially with the seals. Tom Fulp, our site's creator got his start by looking at clubbed seals, you know. It was like the screams were trying to imitate Wilhelm screams, but could not quite reach it. I loved the detail put into the polar bear with the blood and the needles in its back. While it can get difficult, it is so worth it to see the exploding flamingos.

[Ownage Burst demo]

I did have fun!

This is an absolutely flawless game because it is just so great in all of its action!! I love how you get to see the bullets leave marks and how I was so wrapped up, I did not even notice that at first! The graphics were flawless and it seems just like something you would have on a Nintendo DS. It is great just to see the guys pop out of the windows or wherever crazy place they are going to be. I am tempted to form more strategies, but just shooting everything that moves is more effective anyway. I can just shoot the windows and cars and watch them all slowly get destroyed!

[Shadez: Black Operations]

Not Boxhead, but awesome

Given the fact that you are known for the ridiculously good "Boxhead" series, you would think it might be hard to work on something different. This is a great example of how you can experiment, especially with something as popular as a defense game. I think what really works is how you can track the enemies that are coming up on the screen. It is always fun to get upgrades and drop bombs and stuff. The best part is probably just sending a ton of guys at one time. I like how the enemies seem to sort of explode when you kill them.

[Fishdom]

Don't call fish "dumb"

This is another great submission from you guys because it does not mess around with trying to be flashy. It even has quite the unique gameplay, specifically with how you have to get rid of the box altogether and not just get it to the bottom or something. The CGI is nice, even if it is just the occasional blue fish in the background. The designs of the little things are well done and everything else. It is a great example of how you can have just a simple game that really exercises your brain after awhile. Judging from this, it is like a more resourceful game to play than others.

[Fish Outta Water]

Not terrible

I guess I am just not in the competitive mood since I got a "D" in my first class this semester. Anyway, there are still good things to say about this, especially the nice graphics. It almost looks like something that Waterman would work on. Now, it was not as enjoyable as the vein of a more classic series like Super Mario Bros, but still pretty fun. I did not expect to get upgrades as the game went on. I like the bosses and although they can be unpredictable, it is actually fairly easy to beat them when you know their strategy.
