[CC Flash Tutorials]

Sweet tutorial work

Very useful - the horns seemed to be broken on the dress up tutorial (why you'd be teaching people to do dress-ups is a different question) but apart from that I can't really fault it. It could possibly have used a piece of subtle background music, but that's not a major problem. Nice job, may well help me if I ever get round to finishing some of the many unfinished flashes I have in progress.

[The Battlefield III]

Good, but overrated

This is a good flash - clearly work has gone into it, and the outcome shows. But I found it got rather repetitive very quickly, in a way that, say, Madness Redeemer or Die In Style didn't. The graphics weren't fantastic, but there were very good spots of animation. The sounds were average at best. The best part was the occasional spots of humour and funny deaths. Some deaths were original, but most were, sadly, sticks shooting each other. So to summarise, this is good, but I find it overrated.

[Qi]

A damn fine piece of flash production

This flash is many things, but the first thing to say is that this has some of the best graphics you will see in a flash anywhere. Very nice concepts, great shadowing effects, simply beautiful. The soundtrack fitted the movie perfectly. Smartly presented, this is the outcome of an awful lot of work, and it shows. It's also hugely different to anything else you'll see at NG. Worth more than one look, Qi is a fine piece of art. Great job.

[Console Wars 3-D trailer]

What a preview!

Didn't have 3D glasses, so a large chunk of the movie will have been lost on me, but this still looked very, very good. It's a good parody idea, with a brilliant piece of backing music (what is it?) and great graphics. I do hope you manage to get this done into flash, as this preview is superb. Only reason it doesn't get a 10 is that it is a preview - I'll save the 10 for the final version.

[weebl and bob: pie]

PIE!!!!!!!!!

It's not one of the best Weebl and Bob cartoons, but it's still funny and better than most of the stuff on NG anyway. Show more stuff here!

["Waterman"]

I know everybody's sister, hee hee!

Incredibly funny cartoon - this is better than Ganondorf, no question. I agree with the Family Guy similarities - there's that same random insanity about it. You could do with sorting out the preloader, and the theme music played a bit randomly while the movie was still loading, but that can be fixed. Content wise, I've seen few better. Can't wait for the next episode!

[DNA clock's first show]

Another lame clock movie

The only reason I don't give this a lower rating is that the real time clock thing was pretty cool. Try and do something original next time and not just do something old and boring.

[The Grim Reaper Show]

Excellent religion-poking

Very, very funny stuff, makes me wonder why I didn't get round to viewing this earlier. Excellent graphics and sounds, with lots of subtle jokes and more obvious humour as well. This is worthy of its top 50 place.

[Easy Ways to Get Blammed]

The "who's who" of blams

This shows some good ways to get yourself blammed, definitely. That music got annoying quite quickly. Graphics weren't great but given the point of the movie that's not too important. It was funny in spots.
