Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[FWG Pursuit]

This was okay

I'm not a fan of driving games, or at least not ones that are taken at this angle. The graphics weren't too shabby, but it was a bit hard to understand the controls. It seemed at times like the car was moving in the opposite (or at least the wrong) direction it was supposed to. I'm a good driver in the real world, but these games don't do much for me. Still, it wasn't particuarly awful and it was just meant to be something brief and fun. Not one of your strongest, but not a terrible game.

[Shipping Blox]

Good enough

I like freeworldgroup a lot, and I think this does a good job at showing how the work varies. It didn't have the greatest graphics, but it really wasn't supposed to. It was just supposed to be a simple game that could be used to pass time. I couldn't really figure out where the boat stopped and you could lose crates. It was a bit interesting to see the crane move back and drop boxes. I guess you could call me a fan (although not a big one) of these kinds of games.

[HTLJ - Hiragana]

I appreciate it

I'm simply no good at learning foreign languages. I still can't understand a sentence of Spanish whenever it's used in a flash, so I have to give you credit for trying to help people. Japanese is probably even harder for me, because the symbols are different as well. There could have been some background, but it wasn't intended to be flashy. I just really think it's nice you could make something that could help a lot of people, even if it's something a lot of people may not need. It's always neat to have a variety of games.

[Starcraft Zealot Escape]

Hey, it was good

I was a bit disappointed this didn't have any way to fight. Then I realize it's not so bad, because the guys that were in the background weren't even able to fight you. I was a bit annoyed you had to open the game again after dying by falling. It's pretty weird in that sense, I'll give you that, but I really have to give you praise on the background. It's great that you used stuff from Sean T. Cooper (one of my favorite game artists here). I'm willing to go easy on you and not hate this. It needs improvement like weapons, fighting, a health meter, and especially a better way of starting the game over.

[Adventurous Eric]

Eric?!

Eric just happens to be my name, and I happen to love cats as well. I wasn't sure what this was going to be at first, but it turned out to be something very enjoyable! I guess I'm not the biggest fan of these sorts of games, but you did a great job! You put in a great sketchy background with a cute cat going places of course. Not to mention you put in a ton of variety on how you followed the path, making it really descend from any game of its kind. I congradulate you on making the most enjoyable of these kinds of games I have every played!

[Cavern of the Evil Wizard]

Um, it was different

I'd have to say this really wasn't one of your best games. The graphics were nice, and it was kind of interesting with that storyline about the wizard, but it was hard to enjoy. I'm not the biggest fan of games where you just type a word in. It's just that it's something so precise and hard to do in the beginning, it doesn't feel like it pays to do more thinking. I have to admit that I do like that song at the end. I now realize it's talking about how silly the game is in itself, so I'll heighten my score just for that.

[Level Editor]

I loved it!!

At first, I was thinking this was a customizable game, but it didn't even need to be! This worked wonderfully as a stand-alone game with lots of unexpected things going on! I enjoyed the graphics which worked well with the environment. It really was a game that made a person think but unlike some others, it wasn't insanely hard. It really gave me a sense of wonder and intuition on what to do next. I knew eventually I was going to favorite something form KingDotCom (sponsor at least)!

Finally - we've been waiting for you to add our games to favorites! ;) Thanks for playing and reviewing.

[SAS: Zombie Assault 2]

Not bad at all!

I had no idea an author with a cute monkey as the icon could make a zombie game! Anyway, this works just as well as any zombie game, and I liked the graphics. It was also pretty cool to see the variety of zombies you killed. It was nice how I noticed there was a map that told you where zombies were coming next. It's as fun as always to see their bodies being smashed to pieces. The upgrades were great to get as well.

[Daytraders of the Dead]

Awesome game!

While it may not have had a lot of different things going on, it worked very well as a game! I was impressed by how the zombies came and there were so many powerups to collect. Granted, I really can't get that far, but it helps that I'm such a huge fan of zombie stuff, especially shoot-em-ups! I was a bit confused by the beginning, but it was cool how you used level select. I always liked it when I died and the guts were everywhere. That's not something I should like to see, but whatever.

[Effect Compilation]

Woah, fantastic!

I doubt that I'm ever really going to get into flash making myself, but I like watching this! These are some really cool effects and it's so nice to talk about how they were even created in the first place. I like tutorials, even though I don't read them really, because you just never know when they'll come in handy. The music was pretty awesome as well. The information was presented in a very clear and understandable format as well. You obviously have a talent for this sort of thing.
