Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Ant Explorer]

It was okay

I'm not the biggest fan of point and click adventures unless like the artwork is really good. This artwork did not have anything particularly good or bad aobut it, so it was a bit hard to judge. I suppose the music was nice and soft enough. I haven't been able to get that far, but I guess it is at least a pretty original idea to use. At least it's nice you managed to contribute to the site by putting a game up. It is not something that I would recommend, but it was pleasant enough to play for a little while.

[The Necronomicon 2.0]

Pretty playable

The only card game I have ever really gotten into was "Yu-Gi-Oh" and I'm ashamed of that now. I know little about card games, especially those in this "monster" genre. I still have to give you credit for creating some interesting things with good designs. I really like how the monsters look and how it is played, even if I don't understand it. The music to this wasn't too bad either. I also thought it was interesting to use the Necronomicon and Cthluthu, something I haven't seen in a game.

[Perfect Balance 2]

Cool game!

I'm not much for balancing games but this was done really well! You have truly managed to use an original concept as I couldn't even tell what I was supposed to do at first. While it seemed hard, it's definitley something that requires a lot of strategy. It was also nice to have that pretty good music playing. I also liked how the shapes had these designs and at first I thought they were parts of a puzzle or something. It's too bad I got a balance on Level 2 that did not last long.

[8bit little killer]

Good stuff

It took me awhile to figure out the mechanics of this game, but it paid off pretty well. It was interesting to collect all of those little green things. I do not yet know how to destroy those blue guys that are shooting at me, but whatever. It is especially satisfying to see one explosion cause another giving you more points. I thought the green bar filling up would make you beat the level, but it doesn't. The graphics also work pretty well in their simplicity and it was pretty fun overall.

[Gardenscapes]

Much better than I expected!

I wasn't thinking too highly of this at first, but I could tell from the CGI effects, it was going to be good. I'm not the biggest fan of these games, as I'm not that good at them. I will say that it was sheer brilliance to have all of those different people making it so that you could move on to other things. It really allowed you to narrow down what you were looking for. I will complain that I don't understand how to even use the "hints" thing. At least the music, graphics, and overall gameplay was well done.

[- Music in Motion -]

A great game

It's very interesting to listen to all of the most popular songs you put into this. It was a pretty fun idea with all of those bright colors and the like accompanying the music. I think there may have been a glitch where at first you could go to the side to avoid the blocks. You apparently fixed it now and I'm a bit sad it isn't easier. You really manage to put a journey storyline into this, and I appreciate that. All of the different themes that go on emphasize how fun of a game this can be.

[< lightBot >]

Hard, but good

I really like how these games can really test the mental capacity of a person. The fact that they get increasingly harder puts up a good pace for the player. The artwork/graphics were pretty nice and it had a pretty original overall design to it. Obviously, I got frustrated when I couldn't get past a certain point, but that's what video walkthroughs are for. As I'm recognizing music more, the music was very nice as well. While not the most addictive game out there, it had enough good points to certainly recommend.

[Infectonator!]

Great game

When I first came across it, I knew it was going to be something great! This wasn't one of my favorite games, but it captured most of what you could ask for in a zombie game even if its purpose was to infect rather than to protect. I did great the first time playing but couldn't seem to get better later! At least it was the kind of game you could get addicted to in short time because it has only eleven levels. It was funny to hear those stupid people yelling. It certainly seemed to get harder to spread the virus after awhile, but still a great game.

[Penguin Massacre]

Very well done

I am a fan of defence games, even if the game in question is of this style where you manually shoot your enemies. I can say it was very fun to hit all those stupid little penguins. I didn't even realize that I was a penguin at first. It was nice how you simply had to reload and did not have to buy more ammo, even if that didn't make it easier. I think the graphics are nice and are some of the most original I have seen in a defence game. This had a lot going for it and I am glad that it was made.
