I think we all get annoyed by the music, but that isnt a problem, its only music, its not the end of the world.

The rest of the game easily makes up for it, its astonishing.

1st game I've played where you can get proper oversteer.

I am addicted to this. For all I went 3/4 round the track the first time with my corollas handbrake on.........it didnt put me off at all (especially once I got it to come off)

Beautiful..........just beautiful.....

"Meh..."

submission: Riddle School 3

date: July 26, 2008

Now, I love the Riddle School series....but I am annoyed with this one. Gameplay is great, puzzles are great......but there is one slight problem.

This game WILL NOT recognise my click-dragging. Even when it is supposed to do something, I can try 20-30 times and it still won't work. Possibly some code isnt mac-friendly, since I don't think this has been mentioned (if it has, my bad). As soon as I have to make the first combo-item, it starts. When I have to use it, it gets worse. Then when I have to use the rubber band...it is AWFUL. And don't even ASK me about the glasses or the toilet paper........it drives me to despair...

But, its still a great game. It just has a really annoying bug.

(And no, it isnt my crappy computer. The other 2 games work fine, as do most other click-drag games. Its the coding, or something really strange. Possibly aliens.)

7/10, 4/5.
Game=great
Bug= probably fixable, but BAD.

I love this game. Though, as well as what MarioKartFrantic said.......could you add in a training area or something? So that when you finish the game, you can load it up and just smash things?

I found a neat little trick with the trafficlight orb things. If you fly a bit below the top of the screen (or above the bottom), and wait for an orb to come either above (if your at the top) or below (if your at the bottom)........then IF you have the right level of manuvouring, you can bounce it a HUGE number of times against the edge of the screen. I managed a 23 hit combo on just one orb.

Great little game, could do with tweaking to remove the collision bug, could do with the loop problem fixing and it could do with being longer. But when you get down to it, this thing is GREAT.

MOAR VIOLENCE!!!

submission: shoot some more stickmen

date: July 11, 2008

Yep. 'nuff said. Its SHOOTING STICKMEN!

Though, fi I have any issues....its the annoying gun noise and the fact that it is impossible to kill all the stickmen in one go. other than that......its fun, its simple, it requires no skill or talent..... I like it!

Score: 9

"Great...but could do with tweaking."

submission: Telekinetic Eric

date: July 9, 2008

As other have said, the dude is unresponsive. Its hard to complete a level when you cant move fast enough. But other than that.....I can't really find any fault. Perhaps music....but its a great game already.

And, since I voted high on this while it was under judgement...another protection point for me...

A great game. Difficult, yes. Frustrating, yes. Hard through irritating controls, yes. But....it just doesnt matter for a game this good. 9/10.

Score: 10

"This game should have a higher score...."

submission: Moonsweeper

Sorry in advance for massive review. But its worth reading it through if you have trouble with weapons
I only just finished the game...

Those who keep on about the accuracy:
1. Have you ever tried firing a pistol, while jumping, while being shot at, when the target is a LONG WAY AWAY? I hope not, in any case. Some people on NG probably have.... In any case, pistols are bad in terms of accuracy. They is for point-blank range stuff. Not sniper work. The jumping thing is true for ALL weapons as well. As is the shooting....

2. Particle rifles are nasty, yes. But why do you even go into the line of fire? Let the AI detect you, hide under cover, and possibly lob a grenade over to see if there are more enemies you cant see. Easy. or you can use a rapid-fire weapon and sneak-attack them. Just dont try an all-out gunbattle. Especially with an L1 pistol. If you have to, fire fast and get out of the way and hide for a while.

3. If you do have trouble aiming....why even bother? Spray and pray, my friends, spray and pray. With a bit of luck you'll hit SOMETHING, and if you dont, you provoke the AI into wasting ammo.

4. If you do not have patience, you will fail. How many times has this been said? Even if you use your guy as a human shield the first 10 times, eventually you should get through. Its a hard game, but not the hardest I've played. And whats the point of an easy game? They are often really boring.

6. And accuracy is not even a problem later on.....if you can get up to an L2 Laser Auto-cannon, you should have NO problems untill you can get more advanced/insane weaponary. L3 is better, and the Laser Rifles and the various particle guns are more accurate, but the L2 is common earlier on than the L3 & particle weapons. It also is relatively accurate (compared to pistol and L1) and has a decent rate of fire.

Though I do sympathise, it is hard to choose a weapon on first seeing it. So heres an overview of the weapons (not all names are correct):

Pistol: Use at close range, or not at all. Can be used for provocation, but its a risky thing to do.
Shotgun: Use at close range, except for the L2 and possibly the 3, which can be used cautiously to pepper multiple enemies at range. I have only used the 2 in this way, so I cant say much about the 3.
Laser Rifle: A snipers weapon. Use to provoke enemies into emptying their guns. Then pick them off with headshots. Or just snipe from the beginning until all enemies are dead. Be careful of the low rate of fire, it can catch you out. Also do not use the L1 in later levels. Do not use where there is little cover.

Laser Autocannon: L1 is not good. L2 is great when it comes in, and is always fun to use. L3 is an insane killing machine. Good for everything except bombardment, since you have to expose yourself to fire them.

Particle Rifle: Sniper weapon. Like Laser Rifle, except more powerful and faster bullets. Rate of fire much the same. Use for same things as Laser Rifle.

Particle Auto-cannon thingie (or whatever its called. The gatling): Like Particle rifle, except firing lots of shots very quickly. Usable for just about everything except bombardment. Watch your ammo.

Plasma Auto-cannon: Use for bombardment and mid-range work. basically like the laser one, but the shots explode. Do not fire at close range. Lower rate of fire than laser, higher damage. Slightly smaller average clip size.

Plasma Launcher (thing): Fires things like grenades. Grenade fragments into bomblets on impact, fires 3 little things into Long range bombardment ONLY. Fire from heavy cover.

RPG: Rocket with delayed explosion. Use at long range. Aim at ground near enemies-> rocket does NOT activate when it hits an enemy. Rubbish fire rate. Bad clip size. Not a very good weapon, but enemies are VERY good with it (get behind a BIG rock until they are out of ammo. Or drop them before they can fire), and if you learn to use it right, it can be a godsend in some situations.

I hope that lot helps, if not oh well. Just experiment a bit until you work it out yourself.

A great game...I wish there was more like this..

"A great game, BUT...."

submission: Dogfight: The Great War

date: June 22, 2008

I know this will not be appreciatted, but I cant QUITE give this a 10. Merely due to the few issues I have with it. Mainly controls, as I found them a bit soggy, which made it get rather hard after a while. However, the battles were nice, although I did come unstuck when itgot to the 2X aces battle (though with a decent try I would be able to beat them). A very nice game, but perhaps a little tweaking of the controls and perhaps a slow down/speed up control? (Not essential, and its nice without it, but possibly a good thing in future to experiment with?)

8/10. Its a great game, truly. I just have a few issues with it. However. Its also a 5/5.....easily.

Score: 8

"A great game."

I am having a lot of trouble with the crystaloids..... but that just makes it more fun.

The weapons are a bit unbalanced, a decent spray 'n' pray weapon would be nice, and perhaps a mod so that the atom missile is less likely to kill you if you use it slightly too close.

I get massive lag if I (for example) hit something with an atom missile when it's next to a mine or two. annoying, but it generally clears ok.

Great game, 8/10, 5/5

"Meh."

submission: Pico's Unloaded: The Game

date: June 7, 2008

A great game. But a bug left me A. unable to pick up guns (managed an uzi, thats it) and B. unable to use 2 guns at once. Also had trouble making bullets NOT go through enemies.

But a great game all the same. 7/10, 4/5.
