ShawnDavidStruck's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gibbets 2]

Okay enough physics

But I don't think the game author is quite aware of the cultural implications of showing a person of color swinging from a noose. Even though you're rescuing them and even though the author isn't from the US, images don't exists in a vacuum.

[Social Networking Wars]

WOW.

Best voice acting in a little flash game ever!

I'd also like to request a Sara Haskins game, please.

[Spectromancer]

Awesome.

I lost coutnless hours of my life to CCGs... and I just kost several hours to this game. You better believe that when I have the money I'm getting the full retail version, and the strategy, graphics, game mechanics and production values are off the chain!

[Medieval Rampage]

[Edge of Sanity]

Okay, I found a weird bug...

If you talk to the medic after he asks you to get the plasma for the blood transfusion but BEFORE Qroketh gives the Grizzled Vet the Coupon Booklet, you still get the Type O BloodPak in your inventory anyhow, without doing the the whole "Tears and Beers" sidequest.

Also, I can't figure out how to get the "Arrrggghhh!" medal. Any one else figure that out?

Anyhow, aside from those two issues, great game. The nightmare battle was particularly creepy.

[Faith Fighter]

Nothing all that special, besides LOOK HOW EDGY!

This is definitely faithful (get it?) to the"do the same move over and over again until you win" fighting games from the early 90's style of play (seriously, I spammed Dharma Wheel over and over again and won on every difficulty). Aside from that, it's base level "Religious humor is totally edgy you guys AM I RITE HUH?!", and Bible Fight did it better.

Not that I care, but for consistency's sake, Xenu isn't the "God" of Scientology, he's the nemesis. The presence of Xenu but no Satan illustrates that the hadn't really done their homework. Then again, the fact that a grand total of four religions are represented kinda says that too.

[De-Animator]

Mmm.. pretension...

Remember that H.P. Lovecraft short story where a guy stood there and shot zombies with a revolver over and over and over and over and over and over? Didn't it make you think "Hey, why don't they make a video game out of this?" Not remarkable for gameplay, but notable for the spooky silhouette graphics and the utter chutzpah of claiming to be based on literature.

[Virtual Journalist]

Wonderful, biting comedy.

A very effective way of showing how many members of the media and news start out with good intentions but get ground down, while also showing the public at large how one doesn't always see "all the news that's fit to print".

I also thought the pun-names were quite clever, too.

Good to see you're still calling 'em like you see 'em. Keep it up.

[eat your fruits!]

Poor fruit.

Cute little movie. The animation was clean and smooth. My one real compltete is that there needs to be more killed fruit.

Good, orignal concept. Bravo.

[Wanna Be A DJ!?]

You've shown som potential!

Hey, this is a very good idea you've come up with here; it's nice to see a little gadget like this that taps into one's desires to to som track mixing.

My main compliant is that there's too little to do. Once you've played around with the three loops and clicked along with the 4 or so SFX, that's it.

The idea is sound, the loops that were there were good, and you seem to be headed in the right dierection. I think it's a good effort over all, and I gave it a 6 out of 10, ehich of course, is a little above average. Keep working on this concept, and adding more sound samples, and you've got a sure winner. Keep up the good work!
