Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Invisible Runner]

Very different!

I am always looking for unique things on this website and this really takes the cake! What's fascinating is that you have no idea where you are going as there are many times where you literally can't see where you are going! The graphics were simple, but they worked really well with the complex gameplay. It seems like this is an idea that should have been used on this website a long time ago. I am glad there was someone who made such a simplistic environment with such a great idea. The outlines and color of everything are nicely done as well.

[Infectonator : World Dom]

Pretty colorful

I am not the biggest fan of these kinds of games, probably because I am just not that good at them. I will say it is interesting to go through the different environments and see the different settings. It was annoying how you had to repeat a lot of levels and it does not seem to be easy at all. At least it is a nice concept (I love zombies), just not with the best gameplay. It's obviously intended to have more stradegy, which can be difficult for me. The graphics and the sound are pretty nice.

[Foreign Creature 2]

Fairly interesting

I appreciate the effort put into the animation, as well as the character design. It was weird because I thought I had lost at first, but that was actually part of the game. It was nice of you to include the walkthrough, as I never had the chance to get past these games on my own anyway. I swear to God I'm clicking the barrels and the policeman at the same time! Anyway, I thought the first cutscene was cool, with the creature being born from blood that turned into an embryo. It's a pretty creative idea.

[Exmortis]

Very creepy!

You have done a great job of making this a creepy game and the graphics are great they hold up to modern standards! The only thing that kept me from giving this a 5 was how everything is clicked on, so it's hard to find what it is that's clickable in the first place! I still loved the atmosphere and those creepy screams shown at the beginning. There's no music, simply because it's a very authentic scary game made. There's no glamor or crazy stuff going on, just the right amount of creepiness. I'm very surprised this didn't win a single award.

[Mechanical Commando 2]

The boss stuff is awesome!

I knew that a combination from people like BerzerkStudio and KingDotCom would be something fantastic! I remember playing the original game, and thought how cool it was how the machine moved. I think what really separates this from a lot of other stuff is that you can actually take control of the boss and use its same power! I don't like it how it's too big to go through certain spaces, though. I really like the simplistic graphics that work so well in their coolness. The music is also cool and fits the theme well.

[Gray]

It was certainly unique

I wish I could understand how to play this game well, as I am pretty lost in it. I am glad that I was at least able to get one person to go on my side, but not much luck with anyone else. It's the kind of game where the directions are hard to understand. I will say that I really liked the graphics and the character design in this one. It seemed to be a great metaphor about standing out and trying to make peace with everybody. The way it resembled an old TV made it seem really authentic.

[Classic Zork Trilogy]

Never played it

When I first heard the term "Zork" I thought it was that monster from "Yu-Gi-Oh", but apparently it's something else. I can say that I don't really like these games much, as there is little action. I am, of course, open-minded and I did manage to get pretty far with the right directions. It would have been better if there was some music in this or sound effects. I suppose this is a pretty good represenation of a game like this, even if I haven't played "Zork" before. It is kind of interesting to find out what will happen next.

[Russian Affairs]

The graphics are good

The strongest point in this game are its graphics and I really like how the characters move around. It seems similar to this movie I saw (well, I saw part of it) called "Waking Life". Its weakest point was understanding it, as I really couldn't get far. It was funny to just see me run around and get shot and die all those times. I think this is a pretty interesting theme to work with, as it is something I do not see often. The cutscenes are also pretty impressive and well made.

[BLOBS!]

Better than I thought

This is good reason as to why I shouldn't care about the year it was made or the ranking, as it was very good! Sure, it was very hard and I don't think I even did most of the stuff I could with the defenses. The graphics look a little simplistic, but they work well for a game that does require a lot of skill as it goes on. It was easy to do, as you simply touched the little blobs to get rid of them. The powerups and other tactical things were also well used. You could definitley make a second one with better graphics and gameplay.

[Proximity]

A great game!

This is one of the best games that I have rediscovered! It was difficult for me to figure out how to play it, but I learned how, and then I had a lot more fun with it. It's so good even when you don't know the rules, you seem to be having fun. My only complaint is that I would have liked some music in this. It's still an interesting puzzle game, and it works because you don't know what number's going to come up next. It is pretty addicting in its own right as it's hard for me to win.
