Ericho's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

[NG Portal Radio v2 01]

Now and forever!

I was not that big of a fun of the audio portal at first, but then I came to realize that it was an important part of the work by people here on Newgrounds. What makes this so wonderful is that you can simply do nothing but click "random audio" all day. You guys worked together to make a great tribute for all those submitters out there. There is something for everyone here so you can never get bored. All the backgrounds and the way it is organized is very nice and professional-looking too. This is a great way for people to understand the audio portal even if they are not a fan, much less reviewer of it.

MCarsten responds:

Yeah, you got it. Thanks for the nice review and for the kind words. :)

[I-bot Reinterpretation]

What a robot

This was fairly fun to look at, although it was a bit hard to understand exactly what I was a game or not. It was more of a display of all the things you had done in FlashPlayer. It looks like you definitley did something right, because these drawings are pretty creative. It seems like the robot mascot is not used enough on Newgrounds. Have a Happy Halloween, although that doesn't mean much on this date. I am glad that you got help from MindChamber, as he is one of the most respected mods here.

Manuel-Dangelo responds:

it IS mostly a displayer, but there is not a tag for thoes, so... game it gone.
I agree that bots should have more spotlight, and yes, MindChamber is realy cool... just don't mess with him... he tends to get pissed of bit easy.
