Ben-Spurgin's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Samurai's Blood (Demo)]

Totally cool!

I was wondering where I heard your name before and then I remembered you made that SSvsXX movie making fun of my character. I loved those movies and I loved this game! Definitely the best of it's genre that I've seen. Can't wait to see the full version!

Hee hee

I was playing this at work on Flash Player (NG is firewalled) and it had me in tears! I showed it to all my co-workers. Great job!! Not enough dismemberment though. Oh wait... Pimp's Quest doesn't have any dismemberment either. Guess I should practice what I preach. Oh well, Pimp's Quest 2 will have dismemberment, I hereby decree!
Ok yea good work.

[Combat Instinct 3]

Great!

These games define the shooter genre, and have yet to be beat! I am honored to have you as an affiliate. I can't believe this isn't beating Pimp's Quest!

[Chicken War 2]

Cool!

Good game! Keep 'em comin! One of those chickes looked just like my ex-GF. Wait, it wasn't a chicken, it was a pig. Whatever.

[Alien Hominid]

Sweet!

It defines the genre. Beautifully stylized, the most fluid controls of any Flash game I've ever played and definitely the best game on the site!
Keep 'em comin!! Where's Pico 2?

[Damnation: DooM Game e1m1]

Wow!!!

I remember playing this back in the day... it has certainly come a long way! It's great, a work of art that remains faithful to Doom in every way. A must-play!!! Deserves a much higher score and will definitely be around a long time. The best syncronization of music and action I have ever seen, especially the zombie part!!

[Bushido Fighters]

Hah

It shows how screwed up the voting system is when masterpieces like this are voted this low... It really pains me. Excellent use of gradients, and the best looking most complex fighter I've ever played in Flash. Keep great stuff like this coming, the portal needs more of you!!

[Better Drawing in Flash]

Decent

But that's pretty painstaking. I got where I am today by using the mouse! I didn't get a graphics tablet until Stick Slayer 6 !
You can draw with a bar of soap, it just takes practice.

[Coming Soon To Newgrounds]

Well

It was a decent commercial, but here's why it's rated so low. And this has probably all been said in previous reviews but I don't care.
1. Don't call it a "demo" if you can't play it. It's a "trailer" or "preview".
2. Imported Swift graphics look pretty but they've been done before.
3. It's just monopoly, I don't know where adventure comes into play. All the taglines and everything were nice but they don't fit the theme of monopoly (In my opinion).
OK that's all. Like it or not, that's your first impression on me. I'm sure the finished product will be much better.
