jonthomson's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shot Cat Demo]

Doesn't appear to work. Sight doesn't move. If you must upload demos, at least make them somewhat usable, shooters like this are awfully overdone and even if this did work it wouldn't be anything special at all.

[MyMinecraftStory (M Test)]

Don't submit contentless tests.

[Abobo's Big Adventure]

Fucking amazing

Plays fantastically, so many ridiculous references to everything NES related, quite a lot of it is fairly tricky, superviolent - this may well be the perfect game that Newgrounds has been looking for. Pretty much flawless.

[The Classic Pong]

complete waste of space

pong's nearly 40 years old. while this might have been new and exciting in the early 70's, this is 2011, and it isn't. there's literally dozens of similar games on the portal like this that have been there for a decade, this adds nothing to anything. it works, but that's about the only redeeming feature. come up with something new next time.

[Shooting range(beta test)]

Why submit this?

Really don't see the point in submitting tests to the portal. Your sounds work, the actual shooting mechanism works, but you can find that out yourself. As is, it's a pointless, not particularly good looking generic fps engine with nothing to actually do. Avoid playing this.

i don't care, its a beta.

[Neonblox]

Somewhat underrated this

See title. Think it should be a lot nearer 4 than 3.5. The controls aren't as bad as other people make out. It's not too original, a similar game was packaged with my ipod, and arkanoid/breakout as a whole is ancient, but it's playable, mainly because it looks nice and has a real good, almost Metroidy soundtrack. The boost feature makes things too overpowered in the players' favour though.

[English Pub Pool]

Solid pool recreation

Quite like this game, plays accurately enough (could do with being able to get a lot more screw though), soundtrack is nice for a while and effects are good. Straight pool tourney seems broken though (opponent starts thinking for first shot and never ends) which kind of knackers up the whole ranking system.

[Charlie Sheen - Winning]

Winning

nice, this is nice. awesome retro tiger blood fuelled rampage. winning.
