Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Journalizm]

Very good

CGI is rarely used on Newgrounds, so it is always great when you see it. This is an interesting quality because while it is certainly three dimensional, you can still see the pixels. I love how the characters acknowledge all of the crazy stuff going on around. It also helps that this is a fairly simple game, just going around and clicking on things. You do not even have to redirect a guy to the coffee machine for coffee! The music is really cool and works great at giving a really upbeat and happy feeling.

[Life Ark 5]

Probably the most creative

I am going to admit right now that I was never a fan of this series, but I think this is the best so far! I actually was able to get pretty far by just clicking everything in sight. I thought it was weird how you showed the cutscene doing exactly what was shown in the tutorial. I liked just going around and trying to grab the pieces of rock. It is about time this series went to none other than Earth, which is where, really all creators of games come from. The graphics are good and are less simple than other entries.

[Noodle Shop]

Ended abruptly

I think the only reason I am giving this such a high rating is that I was recently fired by a restaurant for messing up orders. Granted, I did not actually prepare the food, but this was fun to play. I think it is funny how you do not have to worry about customers asking for certain condiments before you buy them. I like how the big panda winds up the noodles. Maybe kung fu is a better job for him, like in "Kung Fu Panda". It was also weird to just see normal humans thrown in with the anthropomorphic animals.

[Crazy Nails]

Nail gun!

I think this is one of the best submissions you guys have done in a long time simply because it is fun to use a nail gun. I think this may in fact be the first game I played where it was nothing but shooting things with the nail gun. The "Skill" part was kind of irritating, but the "Arcade" mode was much better. I was confused as to why you had a link to an unrelated game on your website. Oh well, the graphics were nice and cartoonish in this one. I like to aim and time my gun for the best way to kill those dang rats.

[Mental - Murder Most Foul]

Love the graphics!

Okay, I was not able to get far at all in this game but it is still a pretty fun game to play. The strongest part are its graphics and how well the character moves around. He looks like a CGI character in a normally 2D background! I really liked how fast he could run and how you used a wide variety of music (if a bit annoying) for this. I was doing so poorly at this I got arrested by the police just so something could happen! It is hard to go wrong when you are using a game featuring mentally disturbed people.

[Meteor Launch]

Great!

I simply had no idea that you could launch coconuts and stuff in the air so high and it could be so fun! I probably should have paid more attention as to getting the rockets off. The artwork was pretty good, but what really made this memorable was simply how amazingly fun it turned out to be! I loved launching that coconut thing with all the accessories over and over. I should have known that the red ones would be dangerous to touch. I am glad you have taken a concept so simple and made it tons of fun!

[Every day the same dream]

Wow, that was weird

There were certainly a lot of things going on, but I would probably never be able to find them all. Anyway, some of the things to do were getting out of the car and going right, where you would meet the cow. Go left before you get to the car and a bum will take you somewhere. Keep on going right in the work place and you will jump off the building. I assume one of the remaining two have to do with the leaf somehow. This was a very interesting game to play because you had no idea what is going on.

[Epos]

Very crazy!

I have to give it to you guys for making a really unique RPG! While I was never a fan of RPGs to begin with, I guess as I simply review more and more, I am simply getting more used to them. The best part about this is probably how good the graphics are. You really give this characters and enemies depth even if it is not as good as something like the "Epic Battle Fantasy" series. It may be the first time I played a game where everything was a secret medal. I am not going to reveal how to get them here, as I do not know how to anyway.

[Stunt Run]

You are going to need to reset

This was a standard game of this sort and I guess my biggest complaint was that it just did not seem to have anything original to offer. It is pretty sweet how you get a chance to go across the screen more and do not just die upon first hitting the ground. The graphics were nice and the tracks were pretty creative. As all games, it gets harder the more it goes on and some of the stuff was pretty hard to get through. Call me morbid, but it was a little funny to just see the car "die" after awhile. A standard game from you, Terry Paton.

[Drive 2]

Drive 1?

You have submitted so many games that I doubt I could ever remember the original "Drive" game you put up here. I was never that big a fan of driving games on Newgrounds, but I thought this did a pretty good job of being easy to control. The graphics are really good, especially with how CGI the car looks. It is annoying and also kind of funny when you hit a tree. You get so many repetitive screeching noises, it's, well, interesting. I was kind of annoyed with how you had to get every checkpoint or you would not finish the level, but then again, you were nice enough to not give us any driving opponents.
