"Die, cuties, die!"

submission: Friendly Fire: BaG

A great title that should be on everybody's favorite list. The sound effects are just hilarious and the graphics are cartoonish, silly, and very well constructed. The controls are very good and feel just right. The A.I. was done pretty well, as they jump when necessary and shoot pretty good. The Achievements where also done well and a great idea as it improves the Replay Value.

However, just like in any game, there are flaws. First the collision between he player and the enemies needs to be fixed, especially when you get cornered.

Second, there is no continue feature, or lives for that matter. There is not enough health that it should include those mentioned features before.

Third, the upgrade tree needs improvement as you can only select one upgrade and go from there. You can't switch your upgrades to try them out. The ability to switch the guns purchased through the upgrade tree could fix that. You could allow the switching by using the mouse wheel, or any button you think is right.

Fourth, there is some noticeable slow down in the frame rate and I found myself continuing fire when I released the fire button leading to overheats caused by this flaw.

All in all, it is a great title on Newgrounds, and should see a next title, just maybe. Very close to a perfect score.

"Kill, kill, KILL!!"

submission: UltraKillz

A great attempt in a 3D FPS game, but just lacks in some areas. It looks great and runs smoothly. Even the "Click to Activate the Game" idea was a good idea.

Unfortunately, the ability to turn (pivot) is missing, the aiming is a little off (even for the mouse), and the A.I. isn't too impressive either (but it works). It was a little difficult to judge distance as I aimed. Collision detection is a little off, too, as I have noticed.

I know how difficult making a game like this, especially polygon rendering (or something similar), so I wont be too hard on you. It is a well made game. However, it could have been much better.

"Great Graphics, but that's about it..."

submission: Tankmen: Incursion

This should have been a great title on Newgrounds. The Graphics and animation are superb. Unfortunately, the game suffers from it's 'Dynamic Camera' as it constantly zooms in and out, so I could barely see or tell what's going on. I never knew I picked up a power-up until I used it, so they are a little hard to spot. Also, I do agree the mouse should have been used at least as an alternate control method via options.

I found the game to be a sight to behold, but that is not enough as game play was frustrating at best. It's a great attempt and an honorable mention. Just keep what the people said in mind in your next game.

"Story story...stories!"

submission: _-={When Demons Cry}=-_

Here's my story (and I apologize beforehand). Serious comment located below.

Wario farted and the whole Mushroom Kingdom suddenly vanished. Mario sets on a quest to do something (haven't quite figured that part out yet, but it involves apple sauce, just don't ask how). It also involves mushrooms and somehow Luigi's involved too, again (probably still living in Mario's shadow, or something, you know how he is). Peach is just Peach (thought I was gonna say peachy, didn't ya) and ends up getting kidnapped by a giant ................ ummm ............. let me think .............. ummmmmmmmm .................. turtle, whose name so happens to be (yes you guessed it) Bowser, aka "I got my ass whooped by Mario so many times it's a miracle that I'm still here".

Turns out that: Mario was in Toronto, or New Jersey (hell if I know); Peach ended up lost, in the woods, somewhere (probably in here own backyard); Bowser is really a kangaroo disguised as a monkey (that sucked); and Yoshi is a vegetable. Hell I'm just making this up as I go along. Screw Yoshi (not really). And toad is the most useless character in this game, or movie (whichever is funnier). Kill the infidel! Buy more useless crap!

___ OMG? Who writes this crap?

But seriously, this is a great piece of music. I apologize, but I couldn't resist. I felt both happy and sad at the same time, and very few songs I have listened to on Newgrounds have failed to do that. This could easily fit into the game I'm making with RMXP (RPG Maker XP). A great aftermath piece. "The price we pay for war is greater than the reward of victory," or something like that (sorry I'm not really good with proverbs).

I hope I haven't offended anybody (probably going to be voted as a useless review, but who cares) and that you guys have a good sense of humor. Keep up the already good work.

P.S. This is the longest review I have ever written here (and I still have 2,072 characters to write, nice).

"LOL!"

Apparently some people have not seen the animation associated with this son (but then again that's my opinion, so whatever), but it is very funny to just listen to.

Good job yet again.

"Very good."

Nice piece here. Very menacing-like (if that makes sense) and it fits well with the animation. I have always enjoyed your work with the pieces you have submitted.

Keep up the already great work.
