"So-so game"

submission: football a'track

date: June 17, 2006

It's not a bad concept, it looks and sounds alright and seems to be programmed OK, but the problem comes with the lack of control over the ball, it's very hard to send it where you want to put it. Otherwise it'd probably score higher, but still not something I'd want to play more than a few times.

Score: 10

"Hahaha, that's brilliant"

submission: K-FED: Dancing with Fire

date: June 17, 2006

Best thing I've seen in the Portal in a long while. It's in the old school Assassin style but it looks bang up to date and is great fun to play. Excellent in pretty much every respect.

Score: 8

"Good old classic"

submission: Excitebike

date: June 15, 2006

Not a bad little game. Nice selection of tricks and game modes, the race mode goes on for a bit too long but aside from that it's pretty solid in all respects.

Score: 6

"Decent short"

submission: 666...667??

date: June 8, 2006

Not a bad little short, funnier than most that get submitted. You might want to work on the sound levels a bit and look to add some more complex animation in future movies, but it's worth a look at.

Score: 2

"Terrible"

submission: Just because...

date: June 8, 2006

Not even sure how this managed to pass judgment, it's awful in pretty much every respect - there's little to no animation, the graphics aren't great, there's no violence and it's not funny. The sound loop is OK but that's the only tolerable thing about it. Complete rubbish.

Score: 7

"Decent addictive game"

submission: 3d logic

date: June 6, 2006

Good fun to play with a nice difficulty scale. It might have been improved with a hint option for some of the more difficult levels.

Score: 9

"Another classic brought to the Portal"

submission: Pico vs Bear

date: May 22, 2006

It's good to see this one on the Portal, it plays a lot smoother than the original, although it's still tricky on a fast computer and was always much easier to finish back in the day. Great mindless violence.

Score: 10

"Pretty much as good as it gets"

submission: Johnny Rocketfingers 2

date: May 7, 2006

The original was always one of my favourite NG submissions, and this long-awaited sequel improves on it in almost every respect. It's more or less the perfect Flash game. I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Score: 9

"Excellent remake"

submission: Pico's School remake

date: April 30, 2006

A very nice remake of the classic original, it plays well and more or less true to the old version. The final boss was a bit tough though. Nice work on this, it's deserving of its high score.

Score: 7

"Decent mahjong game"

submission: MahJong Connect

date: April 17, 2006

Does all of the basics well, looks and sounds good although the music isn't the best, and it's got fairly addictive gameplay. Well worth a quick look at.
