Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[/b/ear Gunner]

Yes, you are back!

Your previous submission was the greatest flash I had ever seen on Newgrounds, so I was so disappointed to find out this was your only submission! This is a great game as it perfectly captures the ideals of 4chan. I love the Gummy Bear music that is used at the beginning. I also like how the moving cartoon characters contrast with the life action background and machine gun fire. I can simply stay here all night gunning down those evil Pedobears. The anime girls themselves are drawn really nice too.

[Tank 2008: Final Assault]

It's great to be back!

I was a big fan of this game when it first came out and I am so glad that it came out with a sequel! I would have to say this was not as good as the first, due to the fact that it seemed to have less area. I guess I am just a little too familiar with the gameplay. It is still great to play as it has all of the action and stuff blowing up you would want in a Newgrounds game. I enjoyed trying to figure out strategy and the best way to avoid getting hit. It was also convienent to be able to come back during a game.

[The Knocker]

Pretty fun

I like this game because it is a very simple game and it knows how to get done what it is supposed to do. It took me awhile to understand that I was not able to hit between floors. It was kind of goofy and a little childish, but that did not keep it from being a fun game. I also like how the music is so silly and really fits the mood. The graphics are not bad at all and I like the silly design of the aliens. It has little point, as do most games here, and it is fun to just hit big things with boxing gloves.

[Hot Date Hunter]

Hot chick?

This seemed to be a pretty fun game, but it did get annoying as it went on. It was kind of funny to have that cutscene after you lose the game. I think the graphics were okay, I have gotten used to the style of these games so much, I know what to expect. I simply can not get past the second screen and I have no idea how to catch that thing at the top. The weapons are kind of creative, and I do like the purple color scheme. It was not your best work or the most innovative thing you have released.

[Ocean Life]

That was quite weird

I was thinking there was an error as I was not able to advance further than when the boat left, but apparently this was just a preview. I will say that I liked what I say. I can not remember the last time you used pixels on a game. While I probably prefer the more detailed graphics, it was at least interesting to see you make a change. There is definitley potential for this game as it is made by you, of course. I liked swimming around and seeing all the fish swimming around and meeting that mermaid.

[Super Adventure Game Land]

Great title

I knew this was going to be a very interesting game just from the great title it had. At first, I thought it might be a joke game where it was simply no gameplay at all and that guy talking on for so long. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it did indeed have a story and adventure of its own. I do not know how to talk to the princess or fight the dragon or anything. It is still a very cute effort because you are simply able to have those cute little graphics. I like how stupidly the character's legs move.

squidly responds:

Ouch, I don't like those "joke games" where the joke is that the game doesn't exist.
I like some substance, you know?
And uh, to talk to the princess, I mean, it's just like the info booth guy.
And the dragon, just keep going right... You'll go through the "dangerous outside," the forest of homicidal trees, and eventually you'll get to his cave.

[Programming God]

I am a fast typer

I was also a fast typer and this seemed to be a good way to test out my true skills. My highest score is 269,000 which at least ended me up on the Top 40. I love this game simply because I have always prided myself on being a great typist and this is such a great way to do it. It reminds me of that scene in the movie "Bruce Almighty" where Bruce basically does that. He is, in fact, playing God in that scene. I like the holy music that is played to truly give the player a sense that he or she is a God.

Wiesi responds:

Thanks for reviewing!

[Pictogrid]

Now this is hard stuff

I really liked playing this game simply because it had such a simple design to it. I loved the variety of songs that were being played, and it is not something you would expect in a game like this. It is a great puzzle game, as it really makes you think after awhile. As any gamer knows, it will only get harder the more you play it. For being nothing but squares, the graphics in this were very nice. I just like how it has such an interesting premise that is really original and is unique in its own right.

[Tea Sim]

That was very weird

This reminds me of this one video I saw that talked about "Wii Breakfeast" where you prepared a breakfast in a video game. It does ask the question of why you do not simply make a breakfast in real life. I have to admit that this is probably the most realistic game that I have ever played. I actually drink tea all the time, but always drink it in the form of iced tea. Maybe if there was a game featuring that, I could get more hooked to it. Anyway, it is interesting to find out you are submitting little games to Newgrounds.

[Load Up and Kill!]

It is fun and interactive

I was expecting a more straight game where you simply just shot up everything, but this was nice. I was a little annoyed at how you had to figure out mostly for myself how to use the weapons. It still has that good killing feeling that all the great violent games here have. The animation is really nice, and I especially like the design of the victims. It seems to be a pretty short interactive game, but I was never really a fan of those to begin with. The sound of the shots and the background is good too.
