SilverSurge's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hostage Beheading]

no significant interactivity

despite some peoples opinions on this, artisitic forums are for anyone and everyone to explore, as long as you're not actually taking hostages, this kind of thing is ok to me, i'd rather see it in flash than read about it on the front page of the paper. Flash for the most part is imagination, its make believe, it's like an Eli Roth film, or a steven spielberg film. They show exactly this in a lot of movies, theres just no real plot to this, and not much interactivity, i know in movies you see this and in a game you sort of act it out, as long as you dont go out for real and do this for real and really hurt a real person for real, I don' see harm in this kind of work. The name of this game is entirely appropriate, and if the title alone says what the game is and you choose to play it anyway then you personally have to take the responsibility for choosing to play a game, that you had a pretty good idea, would offend you, then don't blame the artist for being offended. If it's your job to review something, then review it for what it is, not what "offends you:" That being said, this sort of thing doesn't really mean anything to you gore-hound, the lack of diversity in gameplay and lack of any kind of goal to aim for, I don't believe you are as "in" to this sort of thing as your name or the title suggests, you try to give the impression of "predator" but this is only prey for people who can truly appreciate an outlet for this sort of thing. Stop trying to "be something" and just be.

Gore-Hound responds:

Although I agree with the first portion of your review, I dont with the second half. Yes it is not my fault if you are offended, you're the one who clicked Play This Game. But what are you talking about, going after my character? You somehow get the impression Im "trying to be something"? and that Im not "in" to this sort of stuff? I dont understand how you get that based on the fact I didnt make it more diverse, maybe I made it this simple because I felt like it. Im into this shit enough to make a game about....and Im definatly not "trying to be something".....thats whack

[Teh-Cannon-Sticks!!1!]

good idea....

no variation in enemies and pretty simplistic upgrades, i dont mind the background being lame if the gameplay is good, and the controls were spot on

[Mr. Peanut Dress-Up]

nice

im not a huge fan of dress up games, but u used Mr. Peanut lol that was awesome, one thing that could really turn things around for dress up games could be adding more humor to them, i was thinking maybe you could try making clothes and objects with a little functionality, kinda like prop humor, make them more interactive, add a "function button" to the items

MooCartoon responds:

Those are some pretty cool ideas. I'll keep that in mind.

[Dirty Dishes]

hmm...

way too kiddy, even for 5-12 year olds, and Ralph was not doing anything to convince me to do my dishes

flame862 responds:

Actually, it's not that bad. My 8 year old sister was playing it for quite a while...Haha yea, Ralph isn't very convincing...

[Terrascape]

nice

not exactly my kind of game but i like your style and u did do a great job for this game

[Temple Guardian]

awesome

Its nice to see originality in tower defense games and the way you have the traps set up is a really good idea and adds a nice strategy element to the game, I love tower defense games and this is one of the best
