[BloodBug]

Wicked game. This is almost horribly addictive. I'm better at maneuvering and killing the antibodies with the sentinal. Well, that not true, but it's easier, so in an emergency you can blast your way out. This is actually an ingenous game. It has a great plot, but that plot isn't too obvious throughout the game itself. The controls were easy to use, and the uprgrading banks was a good idea. I never get too far. I think my record is level 8. Still. Great game. No background music, but it didn't really need it. It would've been a little nicer with some though. All in all, an old favourite, but fantastic game.

Hmm. I remember seeing this in the portal the day it came out. I was one of the first to watch it, and it wasn't doing to well, depite me voting 5. How it got to the front page, I'll never know.

Aaaaanyway. The general concept is good, but the graphics are almost repulsive, and the sounds irritating. The potion vile time limit was a good idea, but it would've been better if a child made the potion stronger giving you extra time. The quality also kept changing to low, which I found extremely irritating. The gameplay was pretty hard, and it was pretty much altogether pointless, but it was generally entertaining and moderately addictie. Good job on this, though it's not quite to my taste.

[shogunate: samurai spirit]

I've been playing this for ages! Highly addictive, and with a need to pas. Once you've defeated the boss on easy, you have a need to feel somewhat like a god and must try godlike, and fail miserably *smiles weakly*

The girl was by far the hardest. I don't know what's wrong with me now, since this is the second time I'm playing it, but I have yet to beat her again, even on normal! What the?!

I like the basic idea of this game. It's a very original idea, but lacks in plot. The plot was not generally ergistered well, and almost did not exist throughout the game. It was rather pointless considereing the plot had virtually nothing to do with the game play itself. It probably wasn't meant to though. I'm guessing it was made for recreation and a way to pass time. Not a game with a deep plot that unfolds as you go like so many others. Personally I prefer the deeper games, but hey. That's just me.

When you really think about it, there was no need for nudity. It could have been equally good without in. In fact better, because as funny as it was, it put me off a little.

The idea of a game that involves reaction to noise and appearance is fantastic. Though only the noise is necessary, those who are not in touch with their inner samurai still need to use their eyes. I pity them, for it's easier to pass with your eyes closed.

The music was very nice. All exept when you beat a level. That was absolutely horrible. Irritation at it's worst. However, I do like the messages inbetween the stages. They were quite inspirational.

Some nice graphics shown here. They were a little pecualiar, and even scrappy at some points, but I liked it. The slash screen could be alot faster though. Godlike reflexes are faster then lightning, so I suggest you don't make thhem slow. The blood was also quite an effective touch.

All in all, a good way to pass the time, and a relatively entertaining game.

[Tactics Core Demo]

Absolutely fantastic. Not really my type of game, but it's a great game all the same. I don't really like strategy, more action. It was a very mythical game. I like that, but you gotta admit. It was -as it's been said so many times before- like a giant chess game. I loved it anyway. It was a great game with some really awesome graphics and ideas. It's just horribly unfair, them having more soldiers, and stronger attacks, and better ranging and cooler attacks. Still, we have an advantage as well. We have Daremon at our side. The mighty warrior, who I only recently learned is not immortal. It's pretty much impossible to win without her. I tried so many times, but gave up. Then I just kicked ass with her. Okay. Here's how to win.

You send all your soldiers except your mystical healer as close to the enemy as possible. It would be smart to pick on some of the stronger ones, like the wizard (the archer is especially good at him). With your own wizards, try and kill as many enemies and your own soldiers as much as possible. Just sacrifice them one by one, keeping the healer out of the way. Try not to move her or they'll get suspicous-if they can, but it's just to be on the safe side. She's safest where she is. Anyway. Just kill your soldiers. It doesn't matter if the healer get's hurt a little, just not too much. One they're all dead except the healer, a eam of light will transform her in to the angel warrior, Daemon. I waa tricked into believing she was invincible by the last guy and lost her, so don't make the same mistake or else it's game over. She may be supremely strong, but she can be conquered. That's why yu should have taken the more powerful one's out first. She's got a fantastic attack range, and each attack is a one hit KO, so shoot for the sky.

Hope this helps. You can try to beat them the honest way if you like, but to me it's impossible. I've been trying all morning. Great game. Excellent work.

[anime dress up doll]

Quite good. Not particuarly overly so, but quite good. Nice tidy graphics, with a relatively wide set of choices. Nice idea for the hari change. This is one of the few dress-up game that's not made for nudity, but rather for dressing things up. I like that. Good job.

[Crazy Belmont]

Wow! THis was actuially fun! I made several minigames withing this to make it more interesting, and it's still kept me here for like, 15 minutes! He looks so cool wen he's running top speed. It was cool, though it was better without the "suprise" flying around you. Still. It was fun. Well, considering my ways. To me they were fun anyway. Like sparing all the humans, and killing the skeletons with my whip, or guarding someone with a ring, killing anyone around them, or running top speed trying to dodge people, or running top speed trying to kill people, or running top speed trying to explode people before they touched you. Stuff like that. Still, it wwas fun until I had to start again every two minutes. Great game anyway. Well, great game considering what I made it in my head.

[Project EDDIE]

Fun game, with a creative ending. Holding A works just as effectively as tapping it. I think you gave fliptop way too much life though. He was practically invincible compared to his enemies. I know you're probably never going to continue this, because you never do complete things as insignificant as these. I can appreciate that, with all the work you have to do keeping newgrounds up and running. Anyway. It was quite a good game, but none of the plot was revealed through game-play, which really made the game bad. Fun, but pointless. If there was a point, it wouild be more addictive, and entertaining. I liked the general idea though, but it's quite boring. Perhaps "Eddie" (Iprefer Fliptop. It suits him better) could fight his way through an armada of robots, and all of megaman's old foes and stuff, then come up against Megaman under an evil spell or somethin'. Generally a good game overall.

[Snipe Justin Timberlake]

Not necessarily a good game. The controls also got confusing, having to use both the arrow keys and the mouse. I thought that you had to take out security before you killed him, and it took me ages to find out how to actually fire the gun. Snipers don't make that kind of gunshot, and if someone was sniping out in the open, it would take a lot less then reflections to give him away. But verall, a good game, but nothing happens when you kill him twice. And has anybody noticed that the bullet enters just above the ridge of the nose in a straight path, but exits at the top of the neck?

[Harry Potthead]

That's pretty...bad. The idea is old now, the graphics were pretty scary, and this was generally just wrong. Creepy, and nothing like what the briefing said it would be.
