VicariousE's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Feed Us 4]

The Feed Us series has just been given some new teeth. A plot, new dangers and a click-ONCE-to-devour-prey, is damn handy and impressive for the fourth of this series. Good show!

[The Brawl 2 - Nicki Minaj]

This is a very good boxing game. The AI pattern is noticeable, but I think it it varies just enough to make it challenging and thoughtful. Tip: after a taunt, block, especially if she gets all up in your face. This used to be the favorite format for the early Assassin games here on NG.

Kinda sucks you can't dip down the quality for slower running machines, but luckily wasn't too bad for memory or CPU speed. The lack of a local trophy and scoreboard also kinda sucks.

I saw this game published here a day or two ago, but didn't review. If so, what changes were made to this version?

[Link VS Ganon]

Very cute and simple.... a bit too simple. Capitalization shouldn't have to count, especially if there's an unseen time limit, though I'm sure you allow more than enough time for a Google search... The layout and instruction panel are very pleasant, as is the background music :3

Suncomes responds:

Told you it was simple! The next ones will be a bit more fun, I promise. I think I should let you know that the timer is in the upper left corner. When you first hit the Triforce, it starts.

Thanks for the review!

[Tequila Zombies 2]

A good and simple game with great retro stylings, with chunks of dead flesh to appease any true gamer. Another great game from Irilysoft.
However, some attempt should be made to disable some of the more intensive graphics (right click - low ain't gonna cut it). Why? The game sucks massive amounts of memory, and shouldn't be attempted with anything less than 1 GB of RAM.

[QUAKE Full Soundboard]

I really like this board a lot, makes me wish I bought the whole game instead of just having the locked demo disk. The ambient noise in the background is okay, but it'd be nice to toggle off. There was never any musical score in the game, was there? Thanks; this bought back memories :3

ELEVENT responds:

Actually, Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails wrote what I guess you could call a musical score, though it was more like ambient tracks to accompany the game. When you play the game with the CD, it will play these tracks.

[Gardening 101]

It's a shame there's no real information on gardening in this game.... as a farmer, we tend to put things in rows. I guess the landscaping would look better if there were buildings or something around the topiary.... guess the only way to lose is to run out of time, since the plants automatically fit whatever's left. This game looks to be for younger audiences than are allowed to visit NG.

[kick-A-mime 2]

Hmmm, good game, but I don't seem to go anywhere after I get the Red Star achievement... after the kick, the mime just sits and spins at zero distance.

[Pretty Qr Code Generator]

Evil Neo-UPC codewriter

This can be a potentially handy app indeed! In my experience, most laser readers and POS systems have pretty crappy software; anything that could bypass that is an asset.
Ver 2.0? A reader. Big time. Still, is there a way to import image files into a swf app...? the world may never know.

[Pathfinder PSP]

Doesn't change when clicked

You can move and eliminate all non-white marbles, but can't go anywhere else. So no maze section changing - good midi music. Maybe flash 11 the prob in logic?

Kwing responds:

Why don't you, oh, I don't know... Use your fucking brain and read the motherfucking instructions?! You have to plot out your path first, then run through it.

[Death Row]

Really worth the time

At first I didn't get it, but the little things like self respect and a sink with hot water can make all the difference. Glad this made it to the front page a while back.....
