"Real funny stuff"

submission: Splash Attack

date: July 6, 2007

A very nice way to take the magikarp meme and take it to the hoop in flash form. Basic but funny as hell.

Score: 10

"Epic brilliance."

submission: Tales from Mod Meat 07

date: June 22, 2007

Of all the flash I've seen on Newgrounds in the ten or so years I've been on this site, this is quite possibly the greatest thing that is in the portal. Voting anything other than five of this should result in execution, period. FIVEN.

Score: 6

"Controls too awkward"

submission: Snipe Justin Timberlake

date: June 13, 2007

It's not a bad concept, but the controls aren't good enough, it all appears a bit too random when you're caught. Not bad, but too frustrating.

Score: 7

"Not a bad shooter"

submission: Bottle Blaster 4

date: June 12, 2007

It's OK for a bit and has a wide variety of screens - visuals and audio are decent, but it lacked enough to make me want to play it more than once. It was hard to find the cursor to select the next level on the scope screens as well.

Score: 8

"Not funny, but a good game"

submission: V-tech Rampage

date: May 17, 2007

Obviously the topic of the game is somewhat inappropriate, but it actually plays quite well. The music and sound effects are good, the C64-style graphics work well and the gameplay is clever and it's not too easy or hard. Violence is obv off the scale. Sure it's controversial, but it's Newgrounds, obviously.

Score: 9

"Excellent stuff"

submission: Matrix Rampage

date: April 8, 2007

This is almost the ideal game for Newgrounds, it ticks all of the correct boxes and is put together very nicely. The only gripe I'd have is that the difficulty curve is too steep, the first few dozen kills are too easy but the challenge gets jacked up very quickly after that.

Score: 10

"Horrendously addictive"

submission: Artillery Live

date: March 14, 2007

This is the best thing I've seen on Newgrounds in ages. The only problems are occasional server glitches, but aside from that it's solid. Small size, decent sounds and functional graphics, this could be played all day.

Score: 10

"Solid gold"

submission: Queers of War

date: January 14, 2007

Exactly what Newgrounds has been needing in a collab for ages. Really unsure who had the funniest segment, they're all excellent. Ship the portal awards already.

Score: 10

"Flash animation doesn't get better than that"

submission: Madness Antipathy

date: January 12, 2007

Pretty much summarising everything in the title - the Madness series has consistently been one of the great features of Newgrounds and this installment doesn't disappoint. Possibly the best selection of music and effects I've seen, ultra violent and stylish as ever. Probably one of my all-time favourites.

Score: 6

"Good for a quick spin"

submission: Exxon Valdez: the Game!

date: January 11, 2007

Visuals and sounds aren't spectacular but function well, ship's controls are good. Not the greatest game but it could easily kill time.
