[Swearbear X-mas]

What's the point

This was passable I guess, but it's just a card, and not a funny one at that. Sound was unclear.

[the skullkid]

Everyone should play this at least once

Simple and fun to play, with a nice musical backdrop, functional if not spectacular graphics and a good learning curve.

[Darcnuss]

A good start

As a stand alone game, this isn't particularly challenging, but is fun for a quick laugh. If you add the additional features you list, it'll become pretty good and something worth more than a quick five minute bash. Make the sequel!

[Poodle Gun]

Not my cup of tea

I just found this very short and very boring, with little point to it at all.

[Parachuting Game]

Fun small game

Definitely worth a quick play - fairly difficult, good use of power ups and multiple skill levels. Shame it's rated so low, it's no Ganondorf but it's not a low 2 game either. Good job with this.

[Holes game]

Fun to play for a while

Not a bad game, but it gets boring and repetitive quite quickly. Definitely worth a quick play though. I found it could be made easier by quickly throwing your mouse to one corner, sending the ball at great speed so it can't go down the bad holes.

[clockcrew air hockey!]

Rather uncontrollable

A nice idea which clearly had some work put into it, but I found the controls to be pretty poor and the collision detection sluggish at best.

[Hobo shoot out]

Solid if unoriginal shooter

I found this quite fun to play, even if it's not the most original idea in the world. Seemed well made, and the crazy music added something to it. Could have been better with more targets or multiple levels, but a decent entry nevertheless.

[PokéAssAssin: Kill'emDead]

Surprisingly good

Used the "random portal entry" to find this - first review of 2003! Anyways, I found this to be a pretty good game - short and fun, with different levels of difficulty. One of the better small games I've played.

[Wacked: Run Jim Run!]

Sweet platform game

I liked this a lot - the collision detection was poor in places (for example the frayed wire room) but apart from that this was pretty cool.
