AL3X-SH00T3R's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[RAPTUS]

Depressing.
Even though it has soft music it doesn't really make it heartwarming but kinda unsettling, not beautiful it kinda shows it in a disturbing way, it kinda makes you tear up for what you do and don't recognize what you're doing, because if you would have known im pretty sure you would definitely stop. And there is no option to stop even if you don't click the game makes you want to click to complete the game. (im talking about that part)

It might serve as an experience but as a game it does not offer the freedom, as the description says: The illusion of free will. But come on, the game is linear, not even the part of "Then i kissed her" "Then he kissed me" is an option, as it chooses "Then he kissed me", so you can't have much control of what you do, even if the game supposedly gives you that option, and in the end it was pretty much in vain the number of clicks, because, you don't really earn anything with this. So, the only option in the VERY end, is to rather run away or drown yourself. Ether choice makes a depressing ending still, that doesn't change anything...

At least it has it's depressing atmosphere in the air with noir-style pixels and heartwarming music, but otherwise as a game doesn't do much. Sorry for my english.

[Inside a dead skyscraper]

Deep.
For what it is as an "experiment" the messages are pretty clear and the story is left open for you, as you start you get the sense of freedom, or as the few space of freedom you have, you explore it and as you check below you see people acting as a time-stopper, with your "expensive gadget" you can hear frozen bystander's thoughts, among them you see normal people, having regular thoghts as common day thoughts, one of them remarks, is that a plane? among the few freedom you have, you can see an impaled plane striking a building with flames rising. the similar-size-building next to it has people/tourists on it unclear on what they see or without any notice on the danger's smell in the air, among them you see a girl, whose thoughts are marked with red by exclaming "my balloon" clearly sad, and her mom not giving any care on what she feels, we see the frozen balloon in the air.
We can grab the balloon and return it back to her, she replies back to us saying "thanks!". Without knowing the fear on the building next to her.

It has its deep and clear messages, thoughts and even comments about people's point of view, "What we call innocence is sometimes the accumulation of Ignorance and Self-Destruction"

Also it shows that the only problem among all the danger we could do was giving back the balloon to the girl. We do the best we can do, and sometimes the things that happen cannot be fixed. "What burns never returns, unless you're Daydreaming"

As always, very good and Thought Provocking.

Sorry for my english. Good Job.

[Moon Waltz]

So simple yet so fun.
One button games are usually simple yet entertaining or challenging, however this game handled the concept pretty well and turns it in a game based on what you do (well, it isnt the wolf among us either, but you'll get when you see it). Pretty Short, but has its replayability among other endings or medals. (i got all the medals btw :D) You can either go destructive from start to finish, either pacifist and turn destructive, or both while die trying, and that feel of the need of achieving the other endings, which are pretty worth time-wasting. Overall, this game doesnt need graphics to be attractive, fun and entertaining time-waster. Good Job!

[Maverick]

Retro'ish Emulator Madness Fun
Good Hearted and Smart Tribute to Atari settles down a lot this game with its nostalgic feeling with old style electronic music, sounds, beeps and visuals. Challenging, yes. Such as regular atari games kind-of challenging. With its 8-Bit theme loop soundtrack you can feel its heart-crafted feeling. As far as skills in the game, you have to shoot your way (literally) on walls to propell yourself away from cactuses and spikes. Only problem is that it lags when we talk about its bullet shells with its physics, other wise, its fun for what it is. A nostalgic trip to the game's end. However, expect pretty much you might get frustrated the way-through the levels, but as far as the game's challenging point with physics and gravity shifts, its cool. And it kinda has a disappointing ending, but its pretty funny while realistic on consoles. Good time-killer, Give it a try!

[Dark Cut]

Dated, yet still a good beginning of the series.
From its graphics you can see its pretty dated, yet its still pretty cool. As from the medical surgeries, its pretty accurate, (not 100% yet its still entertaining taking this as a simulation game)

During surgeries too much blood flowing may make you think your doing it wrong during tense things yet its pretty cool with the blood effects and pretty gross while cool looking colour varying gore/blood effects, for example, the second surgery, kinda gross cutting the wounds and the liquid pouring, yet pretty cool.

The only thing that avoids its 5 stars would be the pretty repetitive song background which is kinda unsettling sometimes with its weird pacing while doing surgeries, besides that and being the only sound you can hear during the game, there are not much sound effects. Also with some weird health loosing with innacurate things, such as the last surgery, loosing health by, not straighting a stake? or, loosing health by not getting the cross on its place? and, when you're like at the 3rd or 2nd surgery and loose, you go back from the first surgery all over again. Kinda frustrating (just a bit, not much) but overall, a good start for this surgery simulation series. Give it a try!

[Lakeview Cabin]

Highly Impressed.
This game sets really well the atmosfere of old-school horror. With really, really basic controls and no tutorial at all its pretty smart the idea of figuring out what to do, Specially when the basic idea of the game as the creator wants to let you know, enjoy a peaceful weekend at your very own lakeview cabin!

The game takes a smart curveball twist and as for Death in this game, it pretty much lets you know that you must prepare yourself, since there are a lot of items around the game, you pretty much build up your own strategy to finish the nightmare.

I loved the soundtrack in the game too, it was really intense in a kind-of-retro-way and it certainly made the gameplay more intense.

Also i thought it was really cool by the different ways you can finish the game, you can take a lot of strategys such as using the environment and finishing it down.
From me, it gets 5 stars. I will expect more future works from the creator, Good Job!

[Half Life 2 Flash]

Couple of problems:
* Repetitive.
* Has no end of level or other levels. Unless you consider dying as the end of the game. And there arent any health packs so why keep shooting if you're gonna die anyway. and even if it was a Survival game, you cant submit your kills.
* The Machine gun in the game shoots Automatically. At least change the image with the Pistol in the game if you cant make it shoot like that.
* Half Life 2 as a flash game could work better as a platformer/3rd person shooter. Other wise in the game the Crowbar would never exist.
* Scroll the screen side to side is anonnying while they're shooting at you. and you cannot take cover at very least.
Otherwise it would have been cool to see other levels and fighting more enemies like the headcrab zombies, the headcrabs and lessen the difficulty- they shoot you while you shoot one side so it would have be cool at least somewhere to cover.

[GunBlood]

Nice Gunslinger game!

I Like it because its addictive, time challenging and really bloody... :)

You have diverse characters to play, cheats you can have fun with, and lots of shooting time as well with the bonus rounds that test your accuracy.
Once the countdown reaches cero its a time-race to blow the hell out of your enemy.

I Like the gore in the game, it seems realistic that you can shoot anywhere and your enemy will still fire but in a certain position, while wounded. Although i still fires if you shoot him in the face...

Also, i have this cool trick to win without caught cheating!
1) Right click the gun barrel, the countdown is still on!
2) Point to the forehead, NOT THE FACE, THE FOREHEAD. That way will kill him from once.
3) When reaches cero, left click (shoot).

Congrats.
You won 10 speed. 10 health and 10 accuracy.

[Intruder Combat Training]

One of the best Shooters of Gun n Run.
Gotta love this kind of games, like Raze for example and its really awesome sequel Raze 2.
It Has awesome sound effects (Shooting metal or other surfaces, the equippment of your character, moans of enemy or you dying although repetitive but satisfying) and nice effects like ragdoll phisics which i love in this kind of games like Raze, again as an example. LOL. And also by these over-the-top dismemberments, like blow the s*** out of your enemies with a rocket launcher or shooting in close range your enemies hip with a sniper rifle. Youll see when you try it. A good thing that should be added can be background music in all shooting/deathmatch not so loud to hear the awesome sound effects. And adding a little more backgrounds on the shooting/deathmatch cause some of those look pretty nice, but kinda disorded and laking colors, but in the other hand, this game rocks well! So wait the loading bar to fill to pwn and tear the crap out of enemies with a pistol or get owned trying. LOL, again.
GREAT GAME.

[Unbelievable Sniper]

Really Nice! I was actually wondering a sniper game without violence, and this is a clever awnser!
BTW, Stickman Sam games are awesome too, and this style in the game is quite effective!
Sniper Games Rule!
