Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ping pong basic game]

Basic pong

I enjoy playing "Pong" (any version) as much as the next guy and this was an okay game to play. The worst thing about this was that there was no sound, and I always look for that with a game or anything. It did not really seem to add anything new to the table, but I guess you were not aiming for that. It might be just me, but dang, was this a really hard game to play. The computer just seemed to be able to predict by every move and a lot of times I just lost a point out of sheer laziness. You did fit the description well at least.

Thanks for the review, yes, the computer is really crazy what concerns stopping the balls, I don't even know how I forced to do that :p glad you enjoyed it, I'm getting better and better and will bring out a lot of games next, keep tuned !!

[Bomboozle 2]

Another great one!

This was a ton of fun to play because it was just so adorable! I admired how it had such a bright, uplifting spirit to it and showed off all the colors of the rainbow and everything! I never thought I would have to work that hard just to get 1,000 blobs clear for a 5 pt medal! Everything here is so great, including that big monkey thing who is drawing everything. It deserves to be added to the neverending list of games with medals here on Newgrounds! I also love the little squishy sounds you get when you get rid of a bunch of them.

Megadev responds:

Ah, well if you thought the 1,000 blobs medal was hard then you're in for a nasty surprise - some of the later ones are vicious! Not sure any of us could get them and we've been playing for a few months now. :)

[Steeplechase Redux]

This is a decent game

I was not able to understand it that way, but this was a fairly fun game to play. The reason it works for me is because it is pretty simple with absolutely everything it does. I was still a bit confused as to how I seemed to die after doing nothing, but nice. There could have been some more detail put into this, with the horse and man. Of course, that might defeat its purpose of being a simple game which it certainly is. It was even a little surreal, as I could in no way tell where I was going or why.

TheSolgryn responds:

Thx, but it's supposed to look that way since it's a super retro game (atari-like). xD

[LARRY: Pup Run]

The games never end!

When I first played this, I thought it was going to be a race of some sort, but this thing definitley went on forever! I was also thinking Larry would have no control over Pup, but he actually did a good job. It is hard to tell if Pup is missing a leg like he did in the second episode. The only complaint I had was that the spacebar was just hard to operate. You had to touch it in exactly the right place for it to work. I liked just going around and collecting beer and stuff, but how do you seriously survive hitting a wall?

Jazza responds:

full speed :)

[Aztec God Game]

Pretty innovative

It was hard for me to understand the directions, but that was mostly my fault. What I did admire about this game was that it was truly different than a lot of other stuff I have seen before here. It was especially nice to see those really good CGI graphics. In a game like this, you would think they might look silly, but these actually work well. I like how the 2D effects of the land contrast with those effects. I would definitley recommend this to anyone who likes games like this, although it was hard to tell what kind of game it was.

FightClub69 responds:

The genre is called 'god games', it was very popular for a while back in the 80's but has gradually changed (IMHO the new 'god games' aren't as much fun as the old ones were)

[60 Second Life]

That's life

I love this game because it is something that absolutely every single person on the entire planet Earth can associate him or herself with. We all live lifes, that is why we are here! You know, I think this is probably going to reflect what will happen to be in my life. I have little money now, but I certainly focus a lot on family and friends values. I was thinking this might be a really cynical game, but it was actually pretty hopeful! Now if someone could only tell me how to get far in the real version of it...

[Unstoppable Game]

A decent game

This was fun to play because it makes me anticipate the upcoming movie! I am surprised this does not have more views seeing as how it has a professional sponsor. This was indeed a very strange game to play, because I just had no idea to win. I tried making the railroad track so that it was nowhere near the town, but still it created an inferno that blew everything up. It is certainly a unique game, but takes getting used to. I guess I never realized how little I knew about trains until I played this!

ChrisKempt responds:

Thanks for your review, I think we suffered a little on the NG release as we clashed horribly with Halloween, the game has however been very well recieved elsewere which is nice (although TBH I would have loved to get a NG hit... oh well... next time eh!)

Alos.. thanks for your feedback, we're going to have a look at the game and see if we can make it a bit more obviosu how to play initially.

Cheers

[Me and My Dinosaur]

How adorable

This was a really cool game because it really beckoned back to my childhood. I was the biggest fan of dinosaurs when I was a kid, especially big dinosaurs to keep as pets like the one here! The gameplay is simple, but does take some work. While it was certianly not adult-oriented, I think you were thinking of a fantasy everyone has as a kid. Everything about this is just cute, like the sound the dinosaur makes when he runs. I decided to name him "Buttface" and I got tons of laughs out of that and I hope you win Daily Feature!

CannedMeat responds:

:'D thanks!

I've always enjoyed puppydog dinosaurs too.

[AVOIDAL]

Cool!

It definitly gets harder as it goes on, but this is a very stylistic and very fun game to play! The red robot featured looks a lot like one of the robots from the "We Are Robots" series. It was really unique but boy did you have to keep on moving every single second the game was on! It is so comforting to have so many medals here that you can earn some without even trying to. It was hard to tell how close I was to death, except when I was really bombarded by those little red guys. I like how the theme of using the enemies but still avoiding them is paradoxical.

HybridMind responds:

I'll have to check the "We Are Robots" series to see what you mean as I'm not familiar with that. Glad you liked the game and you make a good point about the health meter. It is tough to watch as you are dodging all over the place. Thanks again!
